As the Lunar New Year approaches, the demand for beauty services increases, and beauty salons, spas, and hair salons are forced to operate at full capacity because they are always overloaded. However, many people have chosen unreliable beauty salons and have had to accept the loss of both money and health.
Lose money and still have a disability
Wanting to have new hair and surfing social networks, Le H. (23 years old, student at the University of Theater and Cinema, Ho Chi Minh City) decided to go and dye her hair. H. shared that if she wanted to dye her hair a new color, she had to bleach her old hair, which made her scalp very sore and painful, but because it was beautiful, she endured it. When asked if she knew the brand of the hair bleach and dye, H. innocently replied: "No. The hair salon staff went into the room to mix the dye and brought it out, I didn't ask." Because of her trust and desire for cheap prices, H. is currently going to the Ho Chi Minh City Dermatology Hospital for examination and treatment because of her hair loss, burning scalp, and eczema.
Ms. LN (35 years old, living in District 7, Ho Chi Minh City) said that because she wanted brighter skin to confidently meet friends during Tet, she went online to find out about methods to help brighten skin quickly. After reading about a Fanpage advertising the effects of Mesotherapy injections, she decided to try it. Unexpectedly, after the injection, her skin became swollen and had an abscess, and she had to go to the hospital. According to Ms. LN, the cosmetic "facility" where she got Mesotherapy injections advertised that "with just one injection, you will see an immediate change". "It really changed immediately, but it was more like a change for the worse", Ms. LN said sadly.
According to Dr. Dao Hai Yen, a cosmetic expert, Mesotherapy is a micro-injection method, using small needles to inject very small amounts of medicine directly into the skin to create biological stimulation, thereby responding to the desired treatment. Mesotherapy is mainly used in skin rejuvenation, skin whitening, hair loss treatment, acne... Some common side effects of Mesotherapy injection are swelling, bruising at the injection site, abscess formation, cellulitis at the injection site... Therefore, the injection facility must ensure sterile conditions and injection techniques to limit complications.
Verify to protect yourself
According to Dr. Nguyen Phan Tu Dung, Director of JW Korea Hospital, at the end of the year, taking advantage of the psychology of wanting to "quickly" beautify to celebrate the New Year, many beauty salons launch advertising tricks with the commitment to quickly beautify along with attractive promotional packages. Because of trusting the advertisements, many people accidentally become victims when spending money on beauty but using poor quality cosmetics and products from beauty salons. However, the problem of widespread advertising of beauty services and "exploding" functions on social networks is currently very difficult to manage and control.
“Many beauty salons advertise beyond their functions, some salons are not licensed to perform cosmetic procedures, and even the people performing the procedures are not doctors, but they still advertise widely on social networks to attract customers. Therefore, before deciding where to get beauty treatments, we should look up and check which beauty salon is licensed to perform the procedures and who will perform the procedures for us, who that person is, and whether the doctor has been granted a practice certificate or not,” said Dr. Nguyen Phan Tu Dung.
In addition, to avoid complications and unwanted effects caused by the use of cosmetic additives, users should protect themselves by asking the beauty salon to check the brand name, origin, source, and expiration date of the product. Because cosmetic additives used on the human body must be licensed and certified for widespread use. Users can ask the hair salon to show the origin of the bleach and hair dye they will use, because bleach and hair dye can be harmful to users if they are of poor quality or contain dangerous chemical ingredients.
Dr. Bui Manh Ha, Head of the Line Command Department, Ho Chi Minh City Dermatology Hospital, said that when using hair dye, the dye can directly affect the scalp or penetrate the blood to cause long-term effects on the user. The use of poor quality dyes due to lack of strict control of ingredients will pose many potential risks to the user. PPED (para-phenylenediamine), a chemical commonly used in black dyes, is an active ingredient that can easily cause allergies, bronchial asthma and can cause severe poisoning when exposed. In addition, hair dye can also contain many chemicals that can have adverse effects on health such as endocrine disorders, depression, headaches, etc.
The Inspectorate of the Ho Chi Minh City Department of Health has just issued a notice calling on all customers who have used cosmetic services at Pfizers Business Household (2B-2C Ho Xuan Huong, Vo Thi Sau Ward, District 3) to urgently provide complaints, records, and documents to District 3 Police for settlement according to their authority. Pfizers Business Household continuously violates the medical field; changes its signboard and challenges the authorities.
Previously, SGGP Newspaper published an article "A cosmetic facility impersonating a famous pharmaceutical brand that was temporarily suspended is still blatantly operating", reflecting the reality that this business household not only did not comply with the decision to impose an administrative penalty but also deliberately re-offended with the violation, continuing to advertise scar treatment, injections...
