As scheduled, the time near Tet is the time when the demand for beauty increases. Grasping the people's demand for beauty during Tet, many beauty establishments take advantage of advertising quick beauty methods, discounting prices, and even promising to refund if ineffective to attract consumers.
However, these beauty services have many potential risks of complications… Choosing unreliable facilities can lead to serious consequences, even life-threatening.
Talking to Lao Dong Newspaper, Dr. Pham Thi Thanh Giang - Department of Dermatology - Ho Chi Minh City Dermatology Hospital said that at the end of the year, the hospital received many cases of serious complications due to the implementation of unsafe beauty techniques from unlicensed facilities outside. Most of the complications were related to services such as filler injection, skin peeling, meso injection, microneedling...
To avoid "losing Tet" because of beauty treatments, Dr. Thanh Giang recommends that people should choose to perform the procedure at reputable licensed hospitals or cosmetic facilities and at the same time, need to check the origin and ingredients of fillers, botulinum toxin or micro-injection products to ensure safety.
In addition, people should not follow unproven beauty trends. Before applying any new method, it is necessary to consult a doctor to ensure that the method has been researched and proven effective.
It is important to research information before performing cosmetic procedures. People should not rely solely on advertisements from cosmetic facilities or recommendations from friends and relatives. Instead, directly meet the doctor who will perform the surgery to discuss and listen to detailed advice. Avoid or limit through the consulting team of cosmetic facilities.
The Ho Chi Minh City Department of Health has just inspected and discovered a chain of facilities in Tan Binh and District 10 providing weight loss services that had received many complaints and continuously changed their operating addresses after being fined. According to records, some customers had to spend hundreds of millions of VND on weight loss services.
The Ho Chi Minh City Department of Health recommends that people choose reputable specialized clinics with operating licenses issued by the Department of Health. People can look up information about medical examination and treatment facilities, practitioners, and public information on administrative sanctions on the Department of Health's website.
The Health Department calls on people to immediately call the hotline or report via the online health application when they discover or suspect an unlicensed medical examination and treatment facility in the city or information advertising medical services on mass media, social networks, etc. so that the Department of Health Inspectorate can have information and promptly detect and handle it according to regulations.
