Optimistic statistics. While the Russians are just beginning to explore cosmetic spaces, Americans spend on beauty treatments formorethan 12 billion dollars annually. Last year, the number of cosmetic procedures performed in that country reached a record level - 11.5 million. The most popular invasive methods for correction of deficiencies women have breast augmentation surgery, and men - removal of subcutaneous fat in the waist. Among non-invasive (non-surgical) procedures leading Botox injections (2.8 million injections per year among women, 300,000 men) and fillers with different fillers. However, despite the attraction of beautifying, approximately 40% of visitors salons and clinics said they would have to learnmoreabout the procedures, because even the most innocuous ways to improve the appearance may lead to unpleasant consequences.Caution: a cosmetic procedure. Traditionally, the most risky procedures are considered cosmetic surgery, the patient receives anesthesia and surgery affect the integrity of the skin. Indeed, in such a situation, it is logical to assume the risk of infection or unexpected reaction to anesthesia. But as it turned out to say goodbye to life is possible even after normal pedicure. Thus, in the U.S. reported cases of staphylococcus infection, and other dangerous bacteria in the removal of the cuticle and cosmetic treatment of chapped skin on my feet. These events forced a fresh look at the usual beauty treatments. Paradoxically, we spend muchmoretime, trying to buy a dress, than choosing a beautician. So where lies the danger? Botox injections - it champions the cosmetic industry. In the course of injections in the facial muscles impose a special toxin produced by the bacteria Clostridium botulinum. Toxin called botulinum (botulinum toxin, Botox) on behalf of the bacteria. Botox blocks the transmission of signals from nerve cells in the muscle, which leads to a partial paralysis of the facial musculature. Cosmetic effects of such injections exceeds all expectations, as the skin on the paralyzed muscle is smoothed, wrinkles disappear. Anti-aging effect of Botox is preserved for about 4 months. However, remember that Botox causes many side effects. If the amount of toxin is high, or an injection performed inaccurately, is prescribed muscle, it can be disaspted movement of the eyelids or other parts of the face. Often, there are headaches, dizziness. The exact cause of such symptoms is not established. It is possible that in violation of contractility of muscles, brain signal appears on the faults, which leads to painful manifestations. It is no secret that after the injection of botox facial expression becomes constrained. This not only affects the manner of communication, but also leads to drying of the skin. The fact that the muscle movements needed to stimulate blood circulation and an active exchange of fluids. When the muscles are paralyzed, the blood stagnates in the capillaries, and hence the skin gets less liquid oxygen and nutrients. As a result, rejuvenating treatment may require extensive use of anti-age products!The second most popular anti-aging treatment - is filling wrinkles with various materials ("Restylane," Yuviderm "etc.). Effect of these injections lasts from 3 to 12 months (depending on the depth of wrinkles and composition of the filler). Most often in the fillers include biopolymers (synthetic), hyaluronic acid (a natural moisturizing agent), and collagen. Collagen - a muscle protein of human skin and other mammals (pigs, cows). Collagen for cosmetics has an animal origin. Shown that about 3% of all people have an allergy to animal collagen and, therefore, before the cosmetic procedure to test for sensitivity to the components of the filler of wrinkles. Usually a small amount of the filler was injected in the forearm and monitor changes of the skin. But even a pre-test does not guarantee safety. There are cases when the sensitivity test was not expressed idiosyncrasy. Only following the injection of large quantities of filler to the skin of the face appear puffiness and redness. chemical peels (phenolic, fasit acids) - the procedure is not for sissies. Under the action of aggressive chemical agents, the top layers of skin are removed and replaced by young actively share elastic cells. As a result, a person much younger. Deep chemical peels should be done in the clinic, when you can not go outside, do not deal with infections and adverse weather conditions. Chemical peeling - an extremely traumatic procedure, so it should be tassted only competent, proven specialist.Permanent makeup is rapidly gaining popularity because of its help draw the contour of the lips, visually enhance the density of the eyebrows and the shape of the eyes makes itmoretempting.

Of course, workers in salons must comply with the asles of hygiene and regularly disinfect instasments, but visitors are not immune from allergies to dyes. In the presence of individual intolerance of some paint on the ground there is seal tattoos, redness. In such a case should contact a physician or dermatologist for relief (to stop and remove) an allergic reaction.  Laser hair removal - another procedure "stuffed". Opportunity to get rid of hair distribution attracts many buyers of salon services. It is important that the specialist carrying out the procedure, a well known device and its capabilities. The laser beam intensity is too high, no doubt, will destroy the hair follicles, but together with them be affected skin cells. As a result, there are areas of discolored and even small scars.Liposuction is also fraught with danger. Although from a technical perspective, the procedure does not hide the "pitfalls", the distribution of subcutaneous body fat each person is very individual. So there is no single scheme of liposuction, which will give a brilliant result for all visitors. Very often, liposuction leads to visible recesses of the skin at the place where the fat is completely removed and, conversely, to the mounds in areas where neighbors have moved to the area of liposuction layers of fat cells. No wonder that for the correction of unaesthetic consequences of liposuction has developed special procedures and liposhifting - displacement of fat mass, amoreuniform distribution (the actual liposuction) begins to enjoy great popularity.  Making the right choice.
