That Quest to Enhance Beauty Can Leave Scars

QUOTE: ...medically complex cosmetic procedures are being offered in beauty salons, day spas and some nurses' clinics. And sometimes, they say, the procedures are performed by unlicensed or unqualified people, increasing the chances of something going wrong.

ABSTRACT: Chemical peels, Botox injections, collagen injections, laser treatments, microdermabrasion, and other normally medical procedures are increasingly becoming available from providers other than doctors (e.g. nurses and spa operators). Despite the danger of serious side effects, not all states require doctors to oversee such procedures, and even those who do don't always actively police those regulations. Buyer beware!
