When you accept a beauty treatment to improve how you feel about yourself, your appearance, or to correct a pre-existing condition, you put your trust and confidence in the treatment provider. The right beauty treatment from the right provider can leave you feeling great, with most treatments undertaken by reputable, trained individuals who take pride in their services. Unfortunately, however, some providers do not extend such care, causing their clients physical and emotional injury, embarrassment and distress.
If you have suffered an injury due to negligent beauty treatment in the United Kingdom, you may be entitled to make a compensation claim.
Complications from beauty treatments
The phrase ‘beauty treatment’ has a much wider meaning these days and includes cosmetic procedures that in the past were much less accessible. Potential injuries and complications may result from negligent treatment received at a beauty or tanning salon, spa or by a hairdresser. Injuries might include:
- Burns from laser treatments, chemical peels, or waxing
- Infections from unsanitary equipment or poor hygiene practices
- Allergic reactions to products used during treatments
- Scarring or disfigurement from improper techniques or faulty equipment
- Nerve damage from injections or other invasive procedures
- Botched fillers or Botox resulting in asymmetry, lumps, or other complications
- Hair loss or damage from chemical treatments or extensions
- Nail damage from acrylics, gels, or other nail enhancements
These injuries could be the result of:
- Lack of proper training or qualifications
- Failure to conduct a proper consultation to identify any contraindications or allergies and to ensure the treatment is suitable
- Use of faulty or contaminated equipment
- Use of substandard or inappropriate products
- Failure to provide adequate aftercare advice
- Incorrect application of treatments
