Probably, there is no need to tell what consequences can be from the most harmless procedure done by a non-professional. It happens that it takes months and decent money to eliminate the consequences.

It is believed that every cosmetologist should receive a higher education in the specialty "General Medicine". Actually it is not.For example, manicurists sometimes also perform almost surgical manipulations, but no one requires a diploma from them.
Aestheticians can safely do without it. But the list of services they provide is very limited to massage (not medical), non-therapeutic manipulations, such as applying masks, superficial peels that do not affect the deeper layers of the skin, as well as:
But in order to carry out injection procedures, prescribe drugs for the treatment of skin diseases, a diploma is needed. According to Russian legislation, a cosmetologist must undergo training in the specialty "Pediatrics", "General Medicine", undergo residency in dermatovenereology and professional retraining in the specialty "Cosmetology". The total period of study is usually equal to or greater than 8 years.
Separately, it is worth talking about nurses. Such specialists can only give injections under the direction of a doctor. They do not have the right to select the drugs themselves, their dosage, type and zone of administration, assess the risks or the result.
So if on a page on social networks another unfortunate cosmetologist who does any procedures from Botox injections, hyaluronic acid, non-surgical nose reduction provides a nurse diploma as proof of professionalism, you can safely look for another option.
The best option is to ask your friends. So the result can be evaluated live, and the details can be learned first-hand (side effects, swelling, recovery time).Just specify in advance what exactly they did - if a doctor specializes in lip augmentation, it’s not a fact that he can do a circular lift just as well.
The second option is to look at the websites of clinics, pages of private cosmetologists in social networks. Look carefully at the photos of the work. If you didn’t like something, traces of Photoshop are clearly visible, or the only difference in the “before” and “after” photos is the angle and lighting, then you probably shouldn’t say that it’s better to look for another clinic.
Especially carefully check the beauticians who do eyebrow tattooing. Regardless of whether it is powder spraying or permanent makeup, this is a subcutaneous injection of pigment. That is a tattoo. If blue arrows on the eyelids can be corrected with cosmetics, then it will be much more difficult to correct tattooed, irregularly shaped eyebrows. Most often, only laser removal can solve the problem - it is painful, expensive and time-consuming.
The third is to look at reviews on thematic sites. Many of the same type of positive, enthusiastic responses - pass by (no one blames anyone for anything, but clinics can buy positive reviews, right?).
If licenses hang on the walls of the office, certificates of additional education are a good sign. This means that the specialist improves professional skills, knows about new techniques and will be able to recommend the best option for the client.
Pay attention to the appearance of the beautician. What should be of concern:
A good beautician will definitely tell you about the procedure, contraindications, possible complications. Explains what can and cannot be done during the recovery period. Advise less traumatic procedure if it is effective. And, yes, with severe inflammation, no self-respecting doctor will do any manipulations.
And, of course, collect an anamnesis. For example, a good doctor will refer a client with acne for tests and only after that, if there is a need (often a comprehensive approach, nutritional correction is needed) in a cosmetic intervention, he will prescribe therapy. And he will not try to sell serum masks that will solve the problem in a couple of days.
Here are some signs of obvious unprofessionalism:
Ask for certificates for injectables - there is nothing wrong with that. Plus, if the ampoules were purchased from an official supplier, then the doctor is unlikely to hide the documents.
Do not think that only black cosmetologists maintain social networks - private clinics, cosmetologists, and even plastic surgeons have official pages. You just need to check the information more carefully:
And most importantly, the fewer promises, the better. A good cosmetologist cannot guarantee complete elimination of acne or a facelift without surgery, without examining the client.

Recall once again that such specialists may not have a medical education, but they do not have the right to prescribe treatment on their own, use invasive techniques.

It is really not easy to find your beautician, therefore, the choice of a specialist should be approached very responsibly. Check reviews, request a clinic license, evaluate before and after photos. At the initial appointment, pay attention to the doctor's communication style - whether he listens to the client or presses with authority, trying to sell some cosmetic set in addition to the main service.
If you are going to treat skin diseases, it’s a good idea to go through a complete medical examination to find out the root cause.And only then contact a beautician to eliminate post-acne. A professional dermatologist will likely make the same recommendation.
