Some cosmetic procedures and products have become so commonplace and popular it is easy to forget that they involve a high level of professional skill to perform them correctly. Done by those who offer experienced medical and Aesthetic care, they are practically risk-free. The concern is that too many spas and salons are also advertising services like Botox injections and microdermabrasion when those they have to perform them are not knowledgeable enough of the potential risks.
When Botox and injectable facial fillers are used, it requires a careful touch. The injections must be performed in the correct areas, and only a certain amount can be used. When it is done by a professional, the only side effects people typically experience are redness and tenderness at the injection site.
Unfortunately, people receiving facial fillers from those who were not qualified to administer them have suffered from large lumps settling under the skin and infections from improperly sterilized equipment. Too much Botox can result in temporary paralysis, and incorrect applications can lead to drooping eyelids, a condition known as ptosis.
Microdermabrasion is one of the top cosmetic procedures performed today. It helps to reduce lines and wrinkles, eliminate or greatly reduce the appearance of scars and can even help to treat sunspots and birthmarks. It is not uncommon for the skin to be red and slightly irritated following an appointment and some slight bruising, or small abrasions are also possible.
Post inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH) can occur when microdermabrasion is done incorrectly. This is when the skin in treated areas becomes darker than the surrounding skin. It can also cause scarring, bleeding and infection when it is not completed carefully. Some people should not have the procedure at all, including those on certain medications and women who are pregnant. An inexperienced provider may be unaware of this and allow people to undergo the treatment without consideration of the potential consequences.
They offer only experienced the medical and Aesthetic care and are careful to only make legitimate claims of the benefits their procedures can provide. They also screen clients carefully to prevent any unexpected side effects. While there will always be some risk from cosmetic procedures, a professional application will reduce the potential dramatically.
