Dangerous beauty treatments that could actually hurt you (or worse)
Time, stress, and the environment can damage the way we look. And that’s why a lot of us resort to trying the latest beauty treatments, no matter how radical they may be. Not only do we get to bring our best face forward, but also our hands and feet too. There’s nothing wrong with pampering yourself, every now and then. But you do need to be careful. While there are a lot of treatments out there for your hair, skin, and cuticles that are serious miracle-workers, there are also some dangerous beauty treatments that could potentially kill you. So here are a few that you really need to be reaaaally careful with.Illegal Butt Injections
PMMA buttock injections contain polymethyl-methacrylate and 20% of it is composed of PMMA microspheres and 80% collagen. Other injections may contain silicone.
While the material may vary most treatments contain saline, oils, hydrogels, and silicone, which can damage the kidneys, cause pulmonary embolism, or lead to infections that could eventually kill you.

This beauty treatment says goodbye to eyelash curlers, but is it safe? Sure, you’ll get killer lashes, but the chemicals used to enhance them are not approved by the Food & Drug administration.
They’re so dangerous, they can cause irritation and burning of the skin around your eyes and possible blindness. At the very least, it will burn your lashes off if you’re not careful.
Apitherapy
Dangerous beauty treatments like apitherapy involve the use of bee stingers, which leaves venom in your skin that may reduce inflammation and pain.
But if you’re allergic to bee stings, you could go into anaphylactic shock and die, which is why some doctors wouldn’t advise the use of sting treatments at all.
Gel Manicures
Gel manicures might be insanely gorge, but you’ll have to put your nails under a UV-lamp in order to get them done. Granted, the exposure is minor, but the lamps aren’t regulated.
This means that the intensity of these lamps may vary from salon to salon, and the stronger the UV light, the higher the risk of developing skin cancer.
