Many people like to make a fresh start in the new year for good luck. However, in Japan, some individuals, trying to save money, bought unverified hyaluronic acid online and injected it themselves in an attempt to remove facial wrinkles. Unfortunately, not only did the wrinkles not disappear, but their faces also swelled up like a pig's head, resulting in a situation where the loss outweighed the gain.
Unverified beauty injections should never be used carelessly. A woman in Kanagawa Prefecture, Japan, trying to save money, purchased hyaluronic acid online and injected it herself. She initially thought it would smooth out her wrinkles, but two months after the injection, not only did the wrinkles remain, but her entire face swelled up like a pig's head, and eventually, hard lumps appeared. The victim is still undergoing treatment.
The victim who injected the auctioned hyaluronic acid said, "I thought I had succeeded and was very happy, but after one or two months, the injection site swelled severely, and I realized it was a disaster." Regarding this, a cosmetic doctor stated, "Even doctors need to be very careful with facial injections. If people inject randomly, it could lead to blindness or even life-threatening situations."
Professor Hyakudo Hiko from Nippon Medical School emphasized, "We cannot predict how severe the side effects will be if people inject themselves. We hope people will cherish their lives and not take such risks." In fact, apart from the hyaluronic acid case, there have been instances in Japan where people bought fat-dissolving injections online, hoping to achieve a perfect figure. However, after the injection, they ended up with burn scars and no improvement in their physique.
Since the price of beauty injections sold online is only one-third of the market price and usually not tested, they not only fail to guarantee the injection effect but may also harm health. Therefore, experts still advise the public to consult qualified doctors when necessary to achieve beauty without burden. (Source: ETtoday Reporter Xiao Weiling)
