Many people would not believe the frequency of injuries caused by beauty procedures and treatments at beauty salons and spas. Salons frequently use acids and other harsh chemicals on the scalp, face and other parts of the skin. Salons and spas are increasingly offering more aggressive treatments such as botox, dermabrasion, laser hair removal and other treatments involving dangerous chemicals and equipment. These new services are a far cry from the facial cream and cucumber slices.
They can easily lead to permanent disfigurement and pain. However, similar injuries can occur from standard beauty procedures. For example, improperly hair extensions can cause bald patches and hair bleach can cause permanent chemical burns on the scalp. People can also have serious allergic reactions to some of the chemicals or natural ingredients in these treatments.
