But also at this time, the beauty market becomes more noisy and complex than ever, with a series of invitations "fast beauty, urgent beauty, risk-free beauty" flooding social networks and online platforms.
On social networks, there is a "matrix" of advertisements: Painless filler injections, instant botox injections to remove wrinkles, rapid skin rejuvenation, rapid whitening, super-fast weight loss... accompanied by firm affirmations that "absolutely safe", "no complications", "there have been thousands of successful customers". That flashiness, unfortunately, is hiding behind many serious risks to health.
Reality has been clearly reflected in many cases received by specialized hospitals in recent times. Many people have to be hospitalized in a state of severe complications after seemingly simple cosmetic interventions. There are cases of abscesses, infections after filler injections; some people have serious skin damage due to injections of "rejuvenating" substances of unknown origin; even there are cases of botulinum poisoning leading to paralysis due to Botox injections at home by people without medical expertise. Those stories are no longer isolated, but are being repeated more and more every Tet holiday.
The worrying point is that most of the victims originate from the same cause: Believing in advertising and choosing the wrong beauty establishment. In the race to win customers during peak season, many places are willing to exaggerate their uses, swap concepts, and even "magically" unlicensed drugs and injectable substances into advanced beauty therapies. Cheap prices, deep promotions, quick - urgent pre-Tet treatments become "bait" that hits the impatient psychology of beauty seekers.
Another reality that also needs to be frankly acknowledged: Many people, after encountering complications, choose to remain silent. The psychology of fear, shame, and fear of trouble makes many cases not reflect, not report violating establishments. This inadvertently contributes to allowing poor quality beauty addresses to continue to exist, continue to advertise rampantly and drag more people into the cycle of risk.
Beautifying to welcome Tet is a legitimate need, but safe beauty is what is worth mentioning. Before each aesthetic intervention decision, people need to ask themselves basic questions: Is that facility licensed or not, who directly performs it, is the doctor well-trained or not, are the products used of clear origin and allowed to circulate or not. Besides, it is necessary to be alert to promises of "immediate beauty", because in medicine, there is no shortcut that is both fast, cheap, and absolutely safe.
Tet is a moment of reunion, joy and a new beginning. No one wants to enter the new year with worry, pain or health consequences just because of a hasty beauty decision. Amidst the "matrix" of advertising surrounded at the end of the year, each person's caution is the most necessary "vaccine" to protect themselves. Beauty can be slowed down a bit, but don't trade health and safety just to be on time for Tet.
