As beauty trends and effective aesthetic treatments can be easily accessed in the market today, an increasing number of women are now seeking out local salons that offer more advanced cosmetic services. Yet beneath all the promises of perfect skin and fuller lips, a dangerous underbelly of serious injury and infections linked to underground beauty practices is on the rise, and often, the clients themselves don’t even realise that the risks exist.
Such is the case in a growing number of instances involving substandard beauty salon treatments that our expert Medical Negligence team at KMC Legal has encountered. If you have been injured, you might be eligible for compensation, and our experienced solicitors are here to assist with your Beauty Claims
A UK-wide issue on the rise.
There have been several high-profile incidents across the UK over the last twelve months alone, where issues around beauty salon negligence or malpractice have occurred:
· HIV and hepatitis risk after vampire facials at clinics in Wolverhampton and Nottingham
· Lip filler damage and infections posed by unsterile injections from shared syringes and inadequately trained practitioners
· Laser hair removal burns resulting in lasting skin damage
· Chemical peels that end in permanent scarring
· Infections occurred with microneedling and microblading after the equipment was used multiple times.
Beauty treatments are increasingly moving into the realm of medical-grade procedures, but many salons lack regulation; treatments are often performed by individuals with little to no medical training.
When Is Medical Negligence?
Beauty Claims -You might be able to claim compensation if a beauty therapist was negligent in their duty of care to you, and as a result, you were:
· using unclean equipment
· applying incorrect technique
· not informing about risks and side effects
· Practising without requisite experience, performing treatments without qualification
· not getting your permission to perform treatments that you feel forced into having.
