Inspectors of the Department of Health concluded that the establishment did not have a license for medical examination and treatment activities, had a sign "X. Beauty & Academy", including 1 ground floor, 2 floors; have a certificate of registration of Hong Cuc business household issued by the People's Committee of Tan Binh district, business lines of skin care services. However, there is no license to operate medical examination and treatment.

However, this facility deploys machines, medical equipment, needles, needle rollers, fillers ... unauthorized use in cosmetology. Mrs. C., the owner of the establishment, does not have the prescribed professional qualifications or certificates to practice medical examination and treatment.

Mrs. B.H.C. is a skin care technician who does not have professional qualifications or certificates to practice medical examination and treatment as prescribed.

The inspector of the Department of Health has compiled the dossier and handled violations against Ms. B.H.C, the owner of X. Beauty & Academy business in accordance with regulations; At the same time, it is recommended that people when performing invasive beauty services (injections, injections, surgeries, liposuction, lasers ...) must choose hospitals or clinics specializing in aesthetics that have been approved by the Ministry of Health or the Department of Health for technical lists and licensed medical examination activities, prescribed healing.

It is known that in medical facilities, this is not the first case of "pre-disability" related to cosmetic problems.

In similar cases, patients may experience numbness of the right limb and blindness in the left eye after filler injections into the paranasal area. The doctor diagnoses cerebral hemorrhage, occlusion of the artery of the left eye. The patient may experience irreversible blindness and require physical therapy for paralysis. There are cases when patients will feel severe headaches accompanied by symptoms of vomiting for a long time.

According to Dr. Thang, facial filler injections are commonly used in cosmetology to remove wrinkles. Around the world, many reports have recorded cases of stroke and blindness related to this technique. Recently, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration warned of these complications, only approving fillers for wrinkle removal of the lower face (the area around the lips).

Among the types of fillers, about 80% of cases use hyaluronic acid, which is a large sugar molecule capable of holding a fairly large amount of water (500-1,000 times more than its weight). This is the reason why many women prefer to beautify, when dehydration occurs.

The doctor said that there is a high probability that the accident is caused by filler being injected directly into the artery in the paranasal area. When entering the lumen of blood vessels, the filler can move, causing embolism of retinal arteries, cerebral arteries, causing blindness, stroke. "No one can be sure that the filler is not injected directly into the blood vessels, causing embolism," Dr. Thang said.

To date, medicine has not had specific treatment for this accident. Even if patients arrive early, there is no benefit in taking fibrinolytic drugs because they are not suitable for mechanisms and may increase the risk of bleeding.

People with aesthetic needs should not choose beauty establishments but only rely on the names on signs such as "beauty salon", "beauty salon", "spa" ...

When accessing advertising information on social networks, do not rush to believe immediately, but need to carefully verify information through many different channels, especially at the Information Lookup Portal of the Department of Health, to avoid unfortunate complications that may occur, endangering life.

Recently, Ho Chi Minh City has recorded many cases of complications after beauty filler injections at unlicensed establishments, even at establishments such as hotels and hostels to evade authorities. The performer does not have a practicing certificate, surreptitiously performs.
