Kim Kardashian Vampire Facial

By Ash Bennett - Google +

A new celebrity inspired beauty treatment has hit beauty salons across the country after Kim Kardashian was
vampire facial
spotted getting a Platelet-rich Plasma Facial, more commonly known as a ‘vampire facial’. 

This treatment claims to remove bags from under the eyes and smooth out any wrinkles for the appearance of looking 10 years younger.

To start this procedure, you firstly need to get blood taken from your arm. The practitioner then centrifuges the blood to separate out the plasma and platelets from the red blood cells. The next step is to add the platelet-rich plasma back into your face through tiny needles.

In our younger days our skin was filled with collagen, yet as you get older the levels of collagen in your skin starts to reduce. This new vampire facial is believed to boost the production of collagen and smooth the skin for a more youthful complexion. 

However, in recent news people have been getting these injections done too close to their eyes, which has left large dark bruising. It is warned not to go anywhere near the eyes with this treatment, yet some practitioners have been pushing the boundaries, leaving people injured, unhappy and self-conscious.

It is not right that due to the negligence of a practitioner that you should suffer from injury and embarrassment. You should contact a professional beauty treatment solicitors firm and see if they can help you claim compensation.

Body Piercing Shockers

I have to admit, I have been drawn in by the new explosive craze that is, body piercing! My Dad used to call me some what of a 'rebel', as I myself was no stranger to the piercing chair that has took many victims over the years.

In 2008 alone over 78% of people were having places pierced that I didn't even know existed! And why is that I hear you ask? Well, trend is probably the biggest form of reasoning as to why people today are getting numerous body piercings. Not to mention free expression, personal empowerment, and just simply because they want to.

Glamorization of body piercings in the media has sparked interest in all those that follow celebrity style and fashion. Piercing have became a media sensation, as piercing artist, Jared Isenberg said, “Rock starts and MTV are a big influence on my clients.” .Others seek out body piercings as a way to show individualism (hmm, not sure piercings will make you stand out now-a-days.

What about the risk of infection?
 
Over time, the NHS service has spent £1.5 million each year due to body piercing injuries. They may look nice, but a lot of care and attention is needed. Our bodies’ natural reaction to a break in the skin is to void the gap by growing fresh skin to fill it. However, in the process of healing, if the piercing is to get infected then the hole will never heal properly, leading to scaring and in some cases permanent deformities. 

These holes in the body are susceptible to accumulating bacteria and infection.The piercer must make sure that all their equipment is pristine before they even think about putting it near your body! If dirty needles or piercing guns are used, bacterial infections can ultimately lead to serious diseases of the blood, including hepatitis B or C, tetanus and even HIV, but in most extreme circumstances, can lead to death. 

My experiences with different piercings

     Age 14 - Time to get my ears pierced!
At that age I was still very immature and did not look after my ears piercings at all. I was constantly play-fighting with my younger brother, until one day- OUCH! One had been ripped clean from my ears! I had to have 4 stitches in my right ear, yet did not learn and now I have them pierced for a second time.

    Age 16 - Belly button piercing!
When I was 16 I wanted to get my belly button pierced, so I did. I did no research into belly button piercings, and it turns out I am highly allergic to gun metal (the type of metal used to make the navel stud that my local piercing studio uses) Three days later my whole stomach swelled up, I couldn’t use the piercing solution to keep it clean because it would burn every time it went near my piercing. I eventually had to grit my teeth and bared the pain of take the belly button piercing out. (And believe me it hurt!) 

    Age 17 - Nose piercing!
So I went back to the same local piercing studio to have them pierce my nose with the same gun metal studs! (I would never learn!) Few days later and the same scenario- it was being taken out due to infection, pain and irritation. (What a waste of £35 that was!) So a few months later I think its about time I gave nose piercings another shot! Within a few hours I has ripped my nose piercing out whilst getting dry after a shower and have left a perminent scar now on my nose.

You would think i'd give up by now!... but no!

   Age 18 - Piercing my belly button a second time!

18 years old this time and I wanted my belly button pierced again. Had the piercing (in a different studio this time- no gun metal in sight) and they did a great job! I was so pleased with the result as I was going on holiday with my friends. Thinking it was a good idea, I went on a mechanical bull ride anddddd.... the piercing ripped straight from my belly button, blood everywhere and I fainted in the middle of a drunken crowd. (Embarrassing and painful) Ended up with stitches, yet again!

Last piercing, I swear!

   Age 19 - Rim piercing!

With my track record of being prone to injury, infection and dodgy piercings you would think I could just learn my lesson. But finally a piercing that has been a success! 

The moral of the story is: Always research the piercing you wish to get, the person that will do the piercing, and decided if it is the right decision for you. Are you mature enough to handle the responsibility of the thorough cleaning?

Customers have the legal right to expect a complete professional competent service from the body piercing professionals. If this body piercing specialist is negligent and fails in their duty to care for their clients health and wellbeing, then you may be able to claim compensation for a 
body piercing accident.

Ear piercing Infections

Back when I was a teenager, ear piercings were most commonly seen on the lobes. However now-a-days it has become a fashion statement for men, women and teens to have their ears pierced in all kinds of unusual ways and places. In fact, results show that over 86% of people between the ages of 16-24 have more than two different ear piercings – excluding the lobe!

The different ear piercing available today include; Rim, Snug, Conch, Anit-Tragus, Tragus, Lobe, Rook, Diath, and the Inner Pinner. 

When I was younger I had never heard of a single one of these piercing! It is practically common knowledge that piercings can always lead to infection. Hey, as I am writing this blog I am currently suffering infection from a Rim piercing that I got a few months ago.

It is mostly due to the tricky positioning of some of these piercings that bring infection, as people find it extremely hard to keep the piercing dry and clean.

I have also had my lobes pierced 3 times now because I did not listen to the piercer’s instructions. I didn’t used to rinse the piercing in warm salty water, and when getting out the shower I didn’t properly dry it each time. I neglect my piercings which lead to infection.

However third time lucky and I have finally learnt my lesson and kept this on clean and allowed the proper amount of time before changing the ear jewellery.

So from personal experience, make sure you keep all piercings dry and clean as this will lesson your chances of suffering from pain and infection, which more often than not will lead to you having to take your piercing out.

Though, some piercing infections can be caused if the piercer did not properly clean and disinfect the instruments used to pierce your skin.

If this is the case and you get an infection, you should always seek medical and legal advice. For more information about ear piercing infections visit this Beauty Treatment website. They have all the info you need to know and more!

Tongue Piercing Injuries

A tongue piercing is a bodily piercing directly through the center of the tongue. In the western world, the tongue piercing is the most popular piercing site after the ear. 

tongue piercingTongue piercing is becoming more and more popular with today’s young people due to the amount of celebrity influence surrounding the tongue piercing. 

HOWEVER; 

It seems that people are rushing into getting their tongues pierced due to its popularity. Therefore, hardly any research is being done which is most important, as this will specify if you are suitable or not for the piercing, and whether your making the right decision. 

Did you know that a tongue piercing can lead to dental problems? 

According to the International Dental Society (IDS) there is a risk of dental problems when you have a tongue piercing, and a survey shows that a staggering 69% of people with this piercing suffer dental issues!

There is also the issue of not being able to speak properly for the first couple of days after your piercing, though this is more than likely temporary. If your tongue piercing is not placed correctly, you can also suffer from chipped teeth and gum recession, along with others. 

There is also a chance of you ripping the piercing and stretching the hole created, causing pain and injury which virtually always leads to infection. If the piercing is done improperly, you also run the risk of suffering nerve damage. This can range from subtle, extensive or sometimes severe! 

Other side effects include the inability to swallow, breathing difficulties due to swelling, spreading tingling feelings across the tongue, muscle paralysis, infection and numbness. 

The risk of a tongue infection never truly foes away, as some long-term wearers sometimes have to remove the piercing due to a delayed infection. 

Finally, there is a risk of your piercing coming loose and you could in fact swallow the jewellery and possible choke on it! You therefore have to ask yourself, is tongue piercing for you? 

If however the cause of injury and pain from a tongue piercing was due to a negligent practitioner, you should always seek medical and legal advice!

Side Effects of Derma Roller Treatments

Now-a-days, Derma Roller treatments are becoming increasingly more popular in the beauty world. However for some women, this treatment has caused skin damage, injury and infections.

It is very important that your beautician cleans and disinfects the derma rollers properly, as this treatment can carry blood born diseases, as well as the growth of bacteria that can cause disease and infections!

The most serious injuries generally occur when the derma needles are blunt. The sharper they are, the less painful the treatment is. If the needles are blunt this also causes more damage to the skin.

If the derma roller used for your treatment is of poor quality, the cheap metal develops micro hooks under the skin which causes extensive damage and pain to the skin.

Side effects to this treatment include infection, redness, irritation, scabbing and bleeding.

It is important that people know they can make a claim for compensation if they have been injured by a negligent beautician after this treatment. If you have suffered through no fault of your own, you should contact a firm of beauty treatment solicitors who specialise in derma roller injury treatments.

Video of Bikini Waxing Injuries

Bikini waxing seems to be one of the most sought after beauty treatments to date, though the mere thought of it still manages to bring a slight tear to me eye!

video on bikini waxing injuriesIn bathrooms all over Britain, women are trying every stance and position under the sun to reduce the imminent pain of the dreaded bikini wax, though none prevail. It’s still the same old excruciating pain we put ourselves through every 7-8 weeks! 

But more often than not, these waxing experiments usually land you in a sticky situation over at A&E. From rips and torn skin, to burns, irritation and blistering, medics have seen it all! It’s always the best option to seek medical advice, rather than sitting on your bathroom floor, in pain, crying, and embarrassed when your husband runs in to see what all the screaming was about! 

Never mind going to a professional beautician for this treatment either! They too can land you in hospital, as it has been reported that 4 in 15 women are getting scalded with hot wax, having an allergic reaction, or like I said before, in pain and crying!

If a beautician was the cause of your injury, you should always seek legal advice! Check out this video on bikini waxing injuries for more information about whether or not you can make a claim for compensation!

Complaints about Laser Hair Removal Treatments Gone Wrong

In 2010, the Government deregulated the use of lasers, so the majority of clinics and  beauticians offering laser hair removal treatments are no longer subject to oversight from the Care Quality Commission. This means that only a fifth of laser hair removal operators in the UK are licensed, so as you can imagine, there has been a considerable increase in the amount of errors and injuries caused since the deregulation.

Determining a Person’s Suitability for Laser Hair Removal 
ith so many different types of laser hair removal offered at beauty salons and clinics, it is understandable that customers do not fully understand the treatment they are intending to undergo. They then have to rely on the professionalism and skill of the practitioner and laser operator.

Each person should be given a consultation and a check of their medical history to make sure they are a suitable candidate for this treatment. Many laser procedures are not suitable for those with darker, tanned or olive skin for example, as the pigment in the skin can be destroyed by the laser beams along with the hair follicles. This then leaves patches of discolouration on the skin and extreme sensitivity to sunlight.

Burns Injuries from Laser Hair Removal 

The laser beam can cause sever burns to the skin, potentially causing scarring and permanent pigment damage. If your are burnt by laser hair removal, it is not only humiliating for people, in particular those with burns in visible areas of the face, but it can also be excruciating, with blisters and sores that can be very red and irritating. You should always report your burns to the clinic or salon before seeking medical assistance.

If A Complaint About Laser Hair Removal Does Not Work You Can Speak To A Specialist Solicitor

With moderate to severe injuries caused by poorly performed laser hair removal therefore, the victim is best advised to speak to a firm of solicitors offering no win no fee agreements, and specialising in the fast developing beauty and laser treatment industry in the UK.

Eyelash Extension Problems – Damage to Natural Eyelash Hairs

Eyelash extensions are becoming a problem for women in the UK, as these extensions seem to be causing great damage to the natural lashes which can potentially cause permanent damage to the hair follicle and even hindering the re-growth of new eyelashes. 

Eyelash extensions are causing such problems because the extensions themselves are too heavy on the eyelashes. This places great strain on the natural eyelash, so over time the weight and pressure will gradually start to pull the lashes out at the root. Likewise, the adhesive used to attach the extensions can cause too much tension on the lashes if too much is applied, therefore resulting in damage to the hair and roots. 

Adverse Reactions to Adhesive Agents 

Women are now battling with the risk of having an adverse reaction to the bonding agents used in the adhesive to attach the eyelash extensions. If chemicals were to get into your eyes this can cause severe swelling, redness, irritation, blurred vision and pain. 

A skin patch test should always be performed 24 hours prior to a treatment to prevent such instances occurring. If a skin patch test was not offered at the beauty salon and you suffer from an allergic reaction, then this is classed as negligence, and you should be entitled to make a claim against them! 

The Legal Responsibilities of Beauty Salons & How Our Solicitors Can Help 

Despite the lack of regulation of the beauty treatment industry in the UK, salons and beauty technicians are still expected to carry out the services they offer in a reasonably competent manner. If a client is injured because of their failure to do, they may be held to have acted negligently and be liable to pay compensation. For more information please visit this Beauty Treatment Website.

How Can I Report A Bad Hairdresser?

Due to the lack of regulation in the hairdressing business, in the UK it is recorded that only 10% of hairdressers are actually registered with the hairdressing council. This means that the vast majority of hair salons are unregistered organisations. 

beauty treatment solicitorsThe easiest way to resolve a problem with a hairdresser is to either; talk to a senior stylist, speak to the salon manager or go to their employer. If you feel you have not had a satisfactory response, then my best advice is to seek legal advice! 

The Consequences of Botched Hairdressing Procedures 

When injured customers complain to hair salons, the most common response if a free corrective treatment, a refund or offered some of their products for free. This is never good enough for people who have been severely injured, burnt, scarred or suffered hair loss from this beauty salon. Quite often it will cause financial consequences for the injured party, as they will not only have to pay for corrective treatments, but also pay for medical bills and take time off work. 

These are all grounds for you being able to claim compensation if your hair stylist was negligent and failed to carry out your treatment in a competent manner.

Hair Damaged by Relaxer at the Hairdressers

Hair relaxers are creams or lotions that are applied to the roots of naturally curly hair, making it easier for the hairdresser to straighten and style. Hair relaxers “cook” and alter the structure of the hair by damaging the curls in a controlled way. However the toxicity of the chemicals makes this product the most dangerous treatment offered by hair salons. It is therefore crucial that this procedure is carried out by a highly skilled experience hair stylist, otherwise you could end up with extensive hair loss as well as suffering burns to the most sensitive areas of your scalp. 

Hair Damaged by Relaxer if Tests Are Not Carried Out 

It is most important that with all chemical treatments your hair stylist gives you a skin patch test before hand. This will determine whether or not you are suitable for the treatment. Relaxers can be very potent and the containing chemicals are also used to clean drains and thin paint. Therefore a protective base cream made from petroleum jelly must be applied to the skin around the scalp before applying the harsh chemicals. 

Hair Relaxing Damage Can Cause Hair Loss, Baldness & Scarring

If the hair relaxer is left on your hair for too long it may damage the hair follicles, resulting in hair loss and baldness. Your scalp can blister, scab and become red and irritated, not to mention to chance of permanent scarring! The skills and experience of the practitioner is all that stands in the way of this happening, as they can judge whether or not the hair can handle such chemical treatments. 

Whether a procedure has been carried out incompetently, or a salon has failed to carry out a skin patch or hair strand test prior to a treatment, you can and should make a claim against them!

Bald Patches caused by Hair Treatments

Hair dyeing and the use of hair extensions are two of the most common procedures in the UK that are causing baldness. Such damage to the scalp can be very emotionally humiliating and painful for women to suffer, so under the UK law, hairdressers are expected to carry out treatment in a professional and competent manner. If these standards have not been met, resulting in hair loss and baldness, they you are able to make a claim against them! 

Bald Patches Caused by Hair Extensions

Compensation for hair damage cause by extensions is common, as many hairdressers poorly apply these to the natural hair. Often an insufficient number of hair strands are used when sewing in hair extensions, meaning the natural hair will not be able to support the weight of the hair extensions, therefore pulling the hair out in clumps from the root. This usually takes around 5 weeks or so after the treatment has occurred, and could take anywhere between a few months to a few years for the hair to regrow fully. 

Compensation for Bald Patches Caused by Hair Dyeing

Hair dye causing baldness seems to be more common now-a-days, as a lot of hairdressers allow inexperienced junior practitioners to undertake this treatment. The chemical dye left on the hair too long is the most common cause of hair loss. Leaving the dye onto long caused the hair to become weak and brittle, therefore making it prone to breakage. Hair dye or bleach can also leak out of colouring foils and cause great damage to the roots and scalp, as well as a having an adverse reaction to the dye used, which requires immediate medical attention. 

Whether a procedure has been carried out incompetently, or a salon has failed to carry out a skin patch or hair strand test prior to a treatment, you can and should make a claim against them!

Body piercing!

Now body piercing is not the latest trend in today’s society, as this has in fact been around for hundreds of years. But what is trending is the wonderfully strange ways and things people are getting pierced!

It seems that you can have almost anything pierced and some of those places include your; ears, nose, eyebrow, lips, cheeks, navel, genitals, hips, neck and back. Yes, your hips, neck and back! When having your neck and back pierced, what I’ve found most popular is that people tend to thread ribbon through the piercing so they can create a corset like structure on their body. It is very interesting and unusual to see, but all I can thing about is getting those ribbons tangled on something! That is enough to put me off for life!

There are so many risks from infection with any sort of body piercing, as the more interesting and adventurous places people get pierced, the harder it is for them to keep those areas clean and free from infection.

I can’t stress how important it is for you to keep your piercings clean, as I have suffered first hand on several occasions from infected piercings and know how painful it is! Not to mention the scars they have left behind as a permanent reminder!

Male Model Suffers Severe Allergic Reaction at Hairdressers

A 24 year old, male model that had a severe reaction to hair dye at the hairdressers has to cancel his modelling assignment as his hair is falling out in clumps! In recent news, men and women alike are still being subjected to the chemical para-phenylenediamine found in most dark hair dye. This has proven to been the catalyst for so many severe allergic reactions so why are hairdressers still failing to provide simple skin patch tests to their clients?…

How do I know if I am having a reaction to hair dye at the hairdressers?
When the hair dye treatment was applied, the model instantly felt a burning sensation all over his scalp. After alerting the stylist she assured him this was perfectly normal, even after his head began to itch and became visibly inflamed. A few days after his colouring treatment the model’s hair began to fall out in clumps and his scalp had dried and cracked.

What should I do if I had a reaction to hair dye at the hairdressers?
If you have been subject to pain and suffering at the hand of your hairdresser, you have every right to claim compensation for your ordeal. If you have suffered an allergic reaction and no skin patch test was performed, this is negligence and you should contact not only a medical expert, but also contact our team of female solicitors and start your claim for compensation.

Should I contact a solicitor if I had an allergic reaction to hair dye at a hair salon?
Yes. In this case, the salon admitted liability for the damages caused to the model’s hair and he was later offered almost £6,000 for his injuries. Our female solicitors have a sympathetic ear and can empathise with clients as they too have been in similar positions at the hairdressers.

The woman, who wishes not to be named, spend over 11 hours in the hairdressing chair, receiving five separate beaching treatments which were all to correct the hairdressers initial mistake of dyeing her hair bright orange. The hairdresser which did all the damage then attempted to convince the woman that her hair looked great, even though there were considerable chunks of hair falling out of her head from being so over-processed. A follicle specialist then advised the woman to shave all her hair off as it would be better to try and regrow her hair as it was far too damaged to repair itself in its condition

Chemicals were used to much on this woman’s hair that it made her scalp so burnt which then caused her hair to become very dry and brittle which then lead to it falling out in larger chunks. When the woman’s hair started to fall out she was forced to wear a hate for 3 months as she was so embarrassed by her appearance. She also become a recluse and did not feel comfortable leaving her home.

Kim Kardashian Bald patches from Hair Extensions

Kim Kardashian reveals bald patch at Paris’s Fashion Week after from overly-tight Hair Extensions. 


Kim Kardashian is an American socialite and model who is known for her curvery figure and pefect long dark brown hair, but recently she has been spotted with a large bald patch, even though she spends thousands of dollars on extensions, that does not mean that they won't harm her hair! By the looks of it Kims natural hair has started to weaken with all the tension from the hair extensions, which has left her in a very hairy situation!

Along with Kim there are many other celebrities, such as Alexandra Burke and Noami Campbell who also suffer due to their extensions. These celebrities are generally abusing their hair, as having it treated and styled so many times will only cause disaster!

Trichologists have stated that hair thinning is mostly caused by extensions, hair treatments and chemical hair dyes, so why are we still doing all of this to our hair?! 

The number of people suffering from bald patches and hair thinning is shocking! I myself have been victim to loss of hair, as I used to wear extensions everyday for about 2 years! After a year of now wearing them my hair is finally starting to grow back, but I was so embarassed by my appearance that I had to wear hats everywhere I went (even though I do not suit them at all!) Don't you think there should be more awareness of the connection between hair extensions to baldness? Because maybe them women will start to pay attention and reaslise that your natural hair should be looked after properly, as one day it may just start to fall out, like mine, like kims, and like a increasingly high percentage of other women!

My Recommendations

Beauty Treatment Solicitors
For any one who has suffered injuries through no fault of their own due to negligent beauticians or hairdressers, then you deserve compensation. It’s as simple as that! These professionals take for granted the amount of trust we clients put in their hand, and with this brings room for injuries to occur. Bartletts Beauty Treatment Solicitors have put together a Facebook Page which features a blog of the week section, where a trained beautician writes articles for women so they can do these beauty procedures themselves easily at home, rather than paying for a possible disaster! It likewise had a “face to the name” aspect which shows clients which solicitors would deal with their case. It’s so important, I think, for a Solicitors firm to make themselves look friendly and appealing, and this is what Bartletts have achieved! I myself have added this firm as a friend on Facebook as they have actually saved me so much time and money! I recommend that you all do the same as it will pay off greatly.

Suing for Negligent Collagen Injections

Collagen is a naturally produced protein which sadly declines with age. The collagen protein provides skin with its shape, suppleness, support and texture. However as we age we loose these attributes and our body starts to get lines, wrinkles and loose folds of skin. This is when people turn to Collagen injections.

Injection of collagen has meant that the signs of aging have been temporarily reversed. It is used to decrease the appearance of blemishes, laughter lines, crow’s feet and wrinkles. It can now be injected into the lips so they look more plump, which is now a desired effect.

Although little research has been done into the long term side effects of collagen, we have seen cases where Celebrities have had so many Collagen injections they have been left permanently disfigured.

Before receiving collagen injections, the surgery must carry out skin patch tests. This is crucial as it will determine whether or not you will have a serious allergic reaction to the injections. A professional consultation must be done on new clients, as collagen is unsuitable for women breast-feeding or pregnant, as well as those taking blood thinning medications.

There are a multitude of risks involves in collagen injections, but one of the most common is infection caused by lack of hygiene. In extreme circumstances, clients can be left with lumps under the skin as well as skin irregularities and permanent scarring.

Clients have the right to expect their treatment will be carried out by true experts. You are able to sue a collagen surgeon if they have behaved in a negligent manor and failed to meet standard requirements. Suing for negligent collagen treatments is simple and what you deserve after suffering at the hand of a negligent professional.
