The president of the Society of Doctors of Cosmetology in Australia, doctor Gabriel Caswell, made an official caution: the substances for self-introduction, which are implemented on the Internet and promise to rejuvenate, are dangerous to health and lead to terrible consequences, The Herald Sun reports.
"We know cases when people injected themselves with substances bought on the Internet, while these solutions can be non-sterile, you will never know what is in them. As a result, the money saved on a visit to a cosmetologist is all the same to you spend on treatment of undesirable side effects from the introduction of the substance.For example, the introduction of an unverified filler can lead to a strong swelling of the face, "- concludes Caswell.
According to reliable information of the Community, over the past year people began to spend 15% more on conditionally non-invasive procedures. The palm of the championship to this day is kept by funds that increase the size, or relaxing mimic facial muscles, like Botox and Disport.
Among other things, as we are informed by experts, in recent years, visitors to beauty parlors significantly younger. Moreover, most of the guests are absolutely healthy people, says the president of the Australian Medical Association Steve Hambleton. However, this "treatment" threatens to result in myocardial infarction, allergic reactions and even death.
