Everyone has brain farts, especially when you make so many videos all the time. I would hate to have videos of me talking on the internet because I would say the most wacky stuff I don't mean and get cancelled so fast 😂
It's fine, happens to everyone. I once started a war in a discord server by calling a dude wrong nationality while projectile starring at the flag in his nickname...
@@adish1401 i had a huge project where i talked about the different spanish dialects and how they were created-one sentence in, mid intro, i unintentionally combined both the words Spain and Spanish and dropped the word “Spainish”. i hadn’t even been talking for a minute yet. literally haunts me to this day.

@@FortheLoveofBeespeople gain the weight back cuz they don’t eat clean or workout and think they can just get surgery without maintaining it, so they end up needing it redone over and over again
@@valerie-pinkpeach I think you're confusing BBLs with the gastric sleeve/gastric bypass surgery. BBL is a Brazilian butt lift. They take some far from elsewhere in the body and use it to give people an ass. It's not really for the purpose of weight loss or becoming skinny tho. The sleeve it's where they surgically remove like half or more of the stomach so people get full quicker and physically cannot eat as much as they used to. It's specifically for weight loss. BBLs are super common but also super dangerous. The fat can migrate and mess with your heart and lungs and has caused many deaths. It's the most risky cosmetic procedure you can do.
Or you're thinking about Liposuction. It's most likely Liposuction. It didn't come up in my mind until I already replied. It's less drastic than lipo and more likely to need repeat sessions than the sleeve.
In Hong Kong, there’s a law that spas and gyms have to have a 48 hr cool down period where you can cancel the contract because they’re so predatory and it’s such a widespread issue
@@UhOh-pt7sk its 14 days in Austria too! And in my opinion, it should be at least 14 days since things can happen and your mindset can change! It's crazy and bad for business too to try to trap people in a predatory contract, first it's unethical and second with social media the people that are affected by that will talk about it. I truly don't understand why these companies do that, even if they don't care about being ethical, they are losing money and nobody is going to trust them even if they stop doing that shit.. It's baffling
I'm only at the first girl and jfc. Every time she brought up something dodgy, I was expecting her to say she stopped and said no. She noticed and brought up everything wrong but then just carried on! "It took me to this loan website and I was like 'wait no, I don't want to take a loan out'" "oh so that was the moment right? That's when you realised it was proper sketch" "so wtv, I took the loan and I made the appointment" "..."
the world of back alley veneers is so wild to me because i think even well done veneers on people who don’t really need them look BAD ! the ‘before’ photo always looks better 😭
Not only do they not look good, there’s always a risk. They can destroy your teeth - no matter if it’s well done or not. People should just leave their natural teeth alone if they’re healthy.
I loved my original front teeth but I got in an accident and lost one of them. I had a veneer on it since ontop of a filling and I’ve had to have it redone 5 times so far due to it not looking right and falling out and breaking. I still wish for my old tooth back 😢 I don’t get why anyone would choose this life unless they had a serious issue with their teeth or missing or broken teeth 😭
Not even like hairstyles and nails cuz that's my jobs and trust and believe there's hygiene needed, respect, transparency, offering quality and SAFE services. What they're doing is ridiculously wrong and low in quality 😭
@@logic7753ok? But anyone can do hair. My friend does my hair at home and does it great, no schooling. Sorry not sorry, but your 9 months of training that isn’t even really needed has nothing on the amount of knowledge you need to be a dentist or professional in the field
@@evda4919from what I can tell, Americans do tend to emphasize the importance of straight white teeth as a status symbol more than other countries. combine that with the fact that dental insurance is separate from our already notoriously terrible healthcare industry, and you’ve got a perfect storm for ppl seeking out cheap alternatives to give the illusion of straight white teeth with veneers tbf though, it seems to be more popular in the UK to fly to another country to get cheaper dental work, like turkey.
ppl don’t treat plastic surgery seriously bc the ppl that promote it online and get them are rich and can afford to get them and get it on a whim and all these girls walk around with the same face, so ppls perception of beauty online is so warped they think that’s the normalized standard so ppl feel influenced to do it
Especially when the big celebrities getting even the most major and deadly surgeries like the Kardashian’s, just get it all undone a few years later when a different “aesthetic” becomes popular. Why would anyone take it seriously when for example they see people like Kim K getting dozens of procedures to get that unnatural hourglass, then a few years later she had basically every surgery reversed? Or how that entire family look completely different to when their show started/they turned 18.
So true but also, most of them get that shit done for free even if they don’t promote it online in hopes they may tell their friends to go there. Like that nude Joannah a few years ago that was doing literally everyone including tana mongeau and anyone in her circle. That shit went so far I was getting surprised by the people she was servicing. I understand her marketing technique that then increases her “value” so she can charge more by saying all those people go to her. The whole thing is wild to me.
I had a consultation with ideal image when I was 17 telling them my age and birthdate and they sold me a cool sculpting procedure for $7,000. I quickly realized I made a mistake and got caught up in the idea of looking how I wanted instead of thinking about financial implications. The same day I emailed saying I was 17 and any contract I signed wasn’t legally binding. They refused to give me my money back. Fortunately my dad’s a lawyer and it took one call for him to get me out of the contract and all my money back.
Oh my god I almost got cool sculpting because a woman I worked with recommended it to me (she had her own business on the side doing it apparently which in hindsight major red flag lol) ! I was totally sold on it but did some more research on it and realized it wasn’t worth the risk of the possible side effect (like it creating lumps apparently). I’m glad your dad was able to get you out of that mess! It’s always good to have a trusted older adult with more life experience for advice and help! It is sickening that place tried to take advantage of you.
I cannot imagine the stress that social media is putting on young women … not just the image problems and money, but the constant time commitment … laser appointment, teeth whitening appointment, hair extensions appointment, nail appointment, Botox, appointment, lip filler appointment, face filler appointment … it must be EXHAUSTING
Unfortunately I think the individuals who can afford all of that also can probably outsource other responsibilities so they just have an easier time overall.
@@bjh107some people r just more vulnerable and regardless if its stupid victim blaming in any situation is weird u can acknowledge that it was a dumb decision but to say she deserved it is rude at best and ableist at worst
Some people are more vulnerable like neurodivergent folks, older folks, young teens, and folks with mental health struggles. We don’t know her and it is unkind to assume that you do.
@@kyoyameganebereznoff everyone that you listed is capable of learning from their mistakes. you shouldn't go around afraid of offending people. many need to hear the truth even if it's from a stranger
@@fekdjdhsijsxj yeah, and once is fair enough it can happen to anyone, twice is unlucky but anymore than that you need to learn from your mistakes and stop playing victim. If they’re that bad with money they need to get someone to help them with it
the thing ab plastic surgery is that it’s bodily taxing, like not only do you have to have money but the time for the surgery and recovery period as well. your body went through a traumatic experience, as is any surgery, where it was cut up and, depending on the surgery, could have been either filed down, had implants put on, skin removed, etc. that’s hard on the body, really hard actually. and it’s not a short recovery time either, it can be long and uncomfortable and you can absolutely be in pain for days after. it’s not easy at all, it’s not just something that’s started one day and done the next.
I wanted a cosmetic procedure for my ptosis as I'm really self conscious about my appearance. Because of scarring, the toll cosmetic procedures can take and because it doesn't last long, I decided to wait until the droop is affecting my daytime vision to do anything about it. I'm only 25, it's going to get worse with age (it affects my low light vision but didn't when I was younger) so the less surgeries I have, the better it will be for me
I bet not a single one of these people carries liability insurance. You can sue all you want but you can't get blood from an uninsured stone that deals only in cash.
Does anyone else think this kind of sounds like a multi level marketing scheme. The way that the first girl describes them as “girlypop” and having people take out loans and put themselves in debt. Like I know it’s not an mlm, because it doesn’t seem like they have salespeople, but that kinda confirms that it’s scammy to me.
I got laser hair removal through laser away. It’s not scammy she seems to be misinformed about how the payment plans work. The total cost of my laser package was $4000. Unless you want to pay all that up front, you will need a payment plan. And yes, it’s a “loan”, just like a car that you make payments on if you don’t buy in cash up front. The employees are salespeople, so yes, they are very bubbly and want to sell you things. I personally didn’t get treated poorly due to being on the monthly payments but if that was her experience that’s unfortunate. The nurses performing the procedures are actually real licensed nurses so it is a legit company.
This may sound "ok boomer" of me, but as a 37 almost 38 year old woman, seeing all these young twenty somethings get so much done honestly makes me sad when people my age, including myself, did not look near as beautiful as these young women. It was the wild west in makeup and skincare in the late 2000's and we had no idea what we were doing. I also worry the state of their skin when they reach my age. The moral of this is do what you'd like ladies and gents, but be aware that you only get one face and body and no beauty standard is worth risking your one chance in life or regretting that you didn't leave well enough alone.
I’m 39 and agree with most what of what you said, except that I think our generation is aging much better and looked way better at that age. I think that all of these procedures age young people so much! I always think these people are much older than they actually are. And I also wonder, as you mentioned, what the consequences off all this work will do to their skin and looks as they age? 😩
On the topic of veneers... my mom got hers, when she was around 20. Due to horrible genetics, she needed them (teeth rotting from inside while looking perfect from outside, so doctors didn't notice) so growing up, I saw her struggling. The cost being so high,she couldn't always afford new ones and it was very visible. Her teeth didn't look clean anymore, no matter how much she brushed and so she hid her smile most of the time. It was really sad and when she got a set of removable teeth a few years back, the dentist really struggled, to fit them to her, as those stubs provided no hold. So they drilled into her gum to make new anchors and the whole process left her unable to eat properly for around 4 month. The suffering those people will have to endure in a few decades is no joke at all :/
One more info: I am from Germany. We DO HAVE health care AND she was with professional dentists and surgeons. And it was still so expensive AND painfully AND took so long... Don't even want to think about, how bad it would be in America .....
How do these people even do taxes? What do they file their profession as? If they’re not legit dentists,and tech veneers isn’t a thing,what do they file their earnings as? They’re going to get caught like Al Capone. 😂
I work for a company that distributes fillers. People who come for training are trained by a plastic surgeon (not our sales rep) and they have to either be a doctor, nurse or dentist. “Filler tech” is not a thing.
Unfortunately in Texas, anyone can inject as long as they have a medical director. It’s so wild to see all of these scammy companies host 1 or 2 day Botox/ filler trainings to anyone who wakes up and decides they want to do it.
i had a mole on my chin that i got removed, but only because i actually thought about it for YEARS. it’s improved my confidence tremendously. i also got bullied for my nose being big as a child. i thought about surgery as a child, but as an adult i don’t really care. i never really had an issue with my nose, it was them. DONT DO IT BECAUSE OF OTHERS… DO IT FOR YOU!!!
What blows my mind is if you asked any of these people getting these dangerous procedures done on their teeth, "Hey, would you get a bone reset or have surgery in a house by someone who had a 2 day course?" They would immediately say no. But somehow getting their teeth permanently altered is A-OK because it isn't seen as medical work and it is!
I have started asking these folks if they are overseen by a board certified doctor. Ideal Image dodges the question every time. A lot of dermatologists will perform the same procedures and purchase their injectables through proper channels. Always ask these places what medical training they have! You will be shocked at how many do not! I know it mah be unfeasible for someone to go to a medical doctor to get this work done, but I promise you and your gorgeous skin are worth it!!
Also, dental health is closely linked to heart health. Infections of the mouth can cause endocarditis. All of this stuff is so invasive, it makes me shudder.
demi lovato trying to cancel a yogurt place bc they had sugar free yogurt and it was “triggering” her body issues and then proceeding to be sponsored by a filler brand is crazy
Laseraway literally had the exact same script as the first girl, like identical. I was going to do lip fillers and the lady was like oh my goodness my nurses asked if you’ve already had filler, your lips look so perfect! You’re the perfect candidate blah blah blah, they did the monthly payments but as soon as they sent me the link for the loan I was like nope. It’s sad that these companies are preying on people’s insecurities.
Luckily she doesn’t need your “grace”, as she just made an obvious mistake! She’s been working ridiculously hard recently, yet there’s been what this one mistake in this singular video and even then it was because she tripped up on her words and not due to lack or research or something? Maybe next time think about how your comment might come off rude before posting it? As the whole comment makes it sound like she was just being ignorant and she should’ve been cancelled or some bullshit.
@@parrotstoriesrelax, she obviously meant it in a joking way, she literally typed “lol”, she knows it was a mistake, therefore the “giving grace” comment. Not even Angelika is bothered so why are you? Nobody is canceling her, it was a funny mistake which is what the op comment pointed out - la gente se ofende por hvdas (una ecuatoriana)
9:49 I feel so sorry for people who get sold and fall under the narrative of "getting rid of the skin's texture" the only way to do that is with foundation and photoshop and even foundation has texture. A lot of people forget that the skin is an organ, it is alive, it has pores and is composed by cells, its constantly renewing itself! You cant have textureless skin you are not a porcelain doll!
I feel like upselling and medical treatments should not be used together. It's so manipulative and preys on people's insecurities in order to get more coin
Dentists need to be available for all people of all income levels, then people will stop seeking basement braces. It’s actually sad how screwed up our health system is.
As someone who is Turkish, born and raised in Istanbul, i can fully say that even for people who are from Turkey it's sometimes tricky to find a good surgeon. From what I have observed is that usually surgeons that are recommended by doctors I know are all on the pricier side, and might be even close to the pricesEuropen eu at times. The surgeons that have a customer base from abroad are usually known but honestly considering some even offer to pay for the flight and hotels and still be a more affordable option I think shows that although not all are bad , its still questionable in my opinion.
The funny not so funny part about all this is that in 10-20 years we’re going to see all these people having serious medical problems because of these cheap clandestine plastic surgeries.
Truth! Plastic surgery is often used to restore function and form. For example someone could get plastic surgery on their lips/mouth for cleft lip. Or a “nose job” that actually corrects the sinuses and makes it easier to breathe. Or skin grafts to improve the skin barrier after a severe burn. Aesthetics are just one part of plastic surgery. The other is function.
my country, finland, i think is the only country in europe where you dont need to have any training and/or certification to give fillers. like legally nothing stands in your way; anyone with any bussiness can offer them. it’s so dangerous and crazy, we desperately need some laws here to change it. it’s especially harmful because these places will give fillers to minors, there was a big investigation into it by the state media YLE. my lip fillers were done by a literal doctor, and i love them, no complaints, but most people who offer fillers here are absolutely not doctors 😅😅
it’s bad in scotland as well because under 18s are allowed filler and so many people advertise doing them when they’re not qualified. we are said to be the worst in europe for risky fillers😅😅
38:04 at my dentists office they take a picture of you as a new patient. Like, not of your teeth at different angles, but just a picture of you, smiling big for the camera. And everytime i sit in the chair and stare into their computer monitor, i see that picture staring back at me. They are definitely not trained in the art of photography. Maybe they should take this course..
My dad (who is almost 60 now) recently had to get veneers due to his poor teeth health. They removed all of his teeth and then put in the veneers. This wasn't an aesthetic choice it was literally either that or dentures or no teeth. They told him they will have to redo them every 10-15 years because of the wear the veneers can experience. He had no teeth for 8 months because for full removal they had to wait for his gums to heal and he is genuinely dreading having to go through the process of getting new ones put in again cause of how much it hurt and how hard it was to eat for the month following the implants. Also i had braces for 4 years ( as pre-teen to early teen) and before that i had to see my dentist who determined i had to get surgery to get 5 teeth removed due to cavities and had to have a bridge in my mouth for 6 months prior to widen the roof of my mouth so there was actually room for my teeth to straighten out properly. PLEASE DO NOT SEE BASEMENT BRACES OR VENEER TECHS THEY AREN"T PROPERLY TRAINED SO THEY DON"T ACTUALLY KNOW WHAT THEY ARE DOING!
I am actually ill at the thought of a veneer tech. I hate the dentist and those are real, medically trained professionals that went to actual dentistry schools for years.....I cannot ever IMAGINE letting some random person who took a virtual course put metal tools in my mouth that is INSANE to me
I visited the UK last year and was so shocked there's just filler places hanging out in strip malls. Like you can get teeth whitening, brows waxed, your cavities filled, and fillers all in one go! I was like, "What the actual hell?"
I have a few composite teeth done for free by a licensed dental school with proper dental work… next week I’m having a root canal done for free by student dentists. Please people there are options other than ruining your teeth
I hate when people blame the scam victims, like it’s a literal crime to trust people and be a newbie at something. If people are more proactive at blaming the actual unemployed leeches who prey on other people’s hard earned money, I bet the law be alot harsher to these people.
But its the persons responsibility to ask the right questions and research. Take accountability and stop blaming others. People do know the dangers of things and still choose to pursue things, for some sort of external or internal validation.
@@iamReptar While the victim does have some fault into the issue, but the bigger blame should fall on the scammers. Scammers are always coming up with new schemes, some which are not even up on the internet that you can research about. Some even do the clever trick of manipulating reviews online or giving mixed services. Plus, everyone has been a novice at something, Everyone has been in a situation where they have been so desperate that they would take a chance. It's awful that people blame the victims more that the scammers. Stealing is stealing even if it's neatly packaged with a bow.
To add to what you said in the beginning, whilst it may be normalized to a lot of the influencers creating this content to have had cosmetic procedures done, the average viewer is NOT going to have had any cosmetic procedures done. Idk, especially considering the economic climate rn, where the average household is worried they won't be able to afford groceries soon (at least in my country.) It seems so insensitive to recommend expensive products without any kind of disclaimer to the procedures they've had done when it might affect the products outcome, especially when the people you're recommending them to likely can barely afford them. this ended up being a rant but i have a lot of thoughts about the beauty industry lmao
I worked for a "med spa" when I was in HS as the patient coordinator/receptionist. All the sales people there would tell clients it took 3-6 treatments for laser when it really took 12+ for most people. They absolutely knew it took more than 6 but lied to get them started and then hooked enough to keep coming. The real scam was the product they pushed along with it that promised better results....which never happened. While I know it can work for people....its not a "one size fits all" and people should go to an actual esthetician or RN/MD for these types of things and not a "med spa" which are often full on untrained people working beyond the scope of their certification/license.
I worked at Milan, the other big place, they absolutely break you down and make sure you do. not. leave. until you sign that paper. their practices are absolutely horrible and predatory. I hated this job so much. I refused to push people that said they couldnt afford it and i was constantly getting in trouble for not forcing people to upgrade when they couldnt afford too.
In my town we have a "Med spa" but they only offer vitamin IV's and and saline/ hydration IV's is that even safe or legal? I have not personally gone but i have been wondering about the legitimacy of such products and services.
My dad got veneers when he was done with braces because his jaw was larger than his teeth and he would have had gaps between them. He got them done professionally and they’ve held up for 35 years and look amazing. THE INVESTMENT IS WORTH IT. You really do get what you pay for.
My parents are dentists and they are horrified by the veneer boom. Pretty looking teeth are not better than your own teeth. Just… destroying healthy teeth for veneers is so horrifying
To be fair, nearly everything in the US requires a third party loan service. Car broke down? Monthly payments. Tooth chipped? Monthly payments. Can’t afford Christmas presents this year? Monthly payments. It’s easy to sign off on these types of loans when it’s become normalized across the board.
So I get botox for chronic headaches and migraines, and it is legitimately dangerous to have people potentially injecting themselves or other people with it if they aren't properly trained especially with the amounts that girl's family was talking about seeing those places selling. You're injecting botulism, a neurotoxin, into your face and the areas on and surrounding your head, including some places very close to veins. Very much like lip fillers and BBLs, if you do that wrong, you could very easily get very sick or die. I have nothing against people getting it cosmetically. I don't quite understand it because it's painful but I don't care if people want to be masochists in their spare time. I had a vertical wrinkle between my eyebrows from permanent eyebrow furrowing disappear as a side effect of the botox and it made me feel inexplicably better about myself. I just hate that it can be so expensive or inaccessible, regardless of why you get it, that so many people are willing to increase their risk of serious bodily injury and that so many people are willing to take advantage of that desperation.
Thank you for mentioning that Botox is derived from the botulinum toxin (one of the most dangerous poisons in the world). Not enough people mention this, but there's definitely a risk associated with Botox, it's not just an easy fix.
😁 In no way trying to be rude. Mexican -> Spanish. And one of the biggest problems is that these people are not getting veneers. When you shave down the teeth they are technically being crowns. That's why the need to be replaced. Also, true veneers will end up being Cheaper! Even in the US. Like you said it's just a bonding overlay. Btw: So glad to find your video! I was looking into laser treatments.
I'm watching this on day 3 post-op after a pretty extensive rhinoplasty. Between the bruising, swelling, mouth-breathing, pain and inability to sleep for more than 1 hour at a time it's been okay-ish. What I'm saying is: there is a LOT of discomfort and risk between the before and after pictures. This isn't my first and probably not my last plastic surgery operation, but I advise everyone to weigh these decisions with extreme care.
Perhaps saying "the banalization of plastic surgery" could be a good term. Because normalization is okay, no-one should be stigmatized for that, but it shouldn't be a banal thing you do one random Wednesday afternoon because you were bored.
It blows my mind that the first girl had to take out a loan for 6 months worth of treatment that claims to do the same as a simple Tretinoin cream/gel. Tretinoin or even OTC Differin gel is much cheaper and, in some cases, does not take that long to see results.
Gods I wish people would go to ACTUAL dentists. I have actual need for veneers (multiple missing teeth) and I'm only 28. If you cannot afford to go to a licensed dentist, PLEASE PLEASE seek out your local dentistry school. The dental school girl is legitimately true; they WILL help you. They did a wisdom tooth removal for my ex partner. Please also avoid aspen dental if youre in the US. It is apparently NOTORIOUSLY difficult to get insurance to cover your shit. Your teeth are SO important. I'm so so so serious. 28 years old and missing FIVE teeth (genetics and some dental malpractice.)
I recently watched a video where a girl went to one of these fly by night filler places and got a flesh eating disease. They were ordering their fillers from alibaba. She was in the hospital for over a year and is still dealing with the repercussions. The place changed their name and moved to a new location.
I'm in the process of getting veneers, but that's because I have shitty crooked teeth. People with healthy, almost perfect teeth getting them is like... Nooooo, what are you doing???
When I got my lip filler, I was looking at different places in my town to get it, Ideal Image being one of them. Before I could get any info on prices, what brands of filler they use, etc, it had me put in my email address, phone number, and the procedure(s) I was interested in…. Sh!t you not, within 5 minutes, my phone was ringing and these bitches would contact me AT LEAST 3 times a week either by phone or email. Always saying the same thing: “hey love! I see you were looking at getting lip filler! I’d love to schedule a free consultation with you! Also, we offer payment plans on our procedures too! Give us a call when you can!” Obviously I chose a different plastic surgeon, and finally had to ask them to leave me the hell alone. I get it’s their job and all, but holy sh!t if I didn’t respond or answer your 137 messages, give it up.
As someone who has watched many videos on the TikTok drama with the Veneer techs and lip techs and plastic surgery. I agree it melts your brain 😂 I start mixing my words too
As an older lady (50+), I like to use the lipstick that gives a "velvet" look or a lip stain that you can use lip balm over because as we age our lips naturally get lines. I've always worn capstick to protect my lips, especially lip balm at night. This helps keep your lips naturally soft. Try not to lick your lips through out the day because that'll dry them out.
Wasn't there a book series about a society where once a kid turned 18, they were mandated to get plastic surgery so that no one would give the city a bad name? Full of plot holes, but this kinda reminds me of that series.
Omg even before getting crowns, braces, veneers you have to have gone to your dentist to make sure your teeth are cleaned and there’s no cavities or any oral concerns 😭
I’m fortunate to have had good results from laser hair removal. You can’t expect perfect results after the initial 8 sessions. It’s common to need maintenance if you want to be 100% hair free. They’re very clear about the fact that each session only removes about 15% of the hair. It’s not cheap but it’s worth it IMO
the thing with the veneer techs is quite literally illegal. It’s medical malpractice if they aren’t licensed. i’m sure there’s loopholes and stuff but still it’s sketch as hell
I think there are many people who don't consider the effects of e.g. botox and filler when they think about how a certain product looks one someone or is said to make the skin look glowy, smooth, whatever. Obviously, one knows what those "substances" do, but I don't think I am the only one, forgetting to think about that. When I watch a video from an to me unknown creator I don't know what procedures they might have done with their face and think that e.g. a cream they shout out made this effect. But I don't see any creator mention what they did in the beginning of every video. Then it is on us to dig and find out if we really wanna know if a certain product might work.
Where I live you need to be a Nurse or Doctor to be able to do injections. The course to be certified cost about $4000, you have to pass exams and re certify yearly. It’s sad that there are scammers out there using people’s insecurities to make money.
I feel so bad for the girl who got scammed on the laser treatment. People are so harsh. Being naive or trusting medical professionals isn’t a damn crime like come on. Yes most of us wouldn’t “fall” for that, BUT being naive and being stupid are two different things. This woman was clearly manipulated to the max and I know how hard it is to say no in those situations. They are trained to scam, so it’s not that strange that she, as a more naive or trusting person, will give them a chance.
The amount of people coming out that they have lost a kidney when getting a bbl done is insane. Please try and get a trusted doctor when getting ANY cosmetic surgery.
Somehow I was not ready for the 'beauty service' to 'scammy loans' pipeline .... Like I'm not going through the procedure you need for a house or a car with some random third party company after calling up about a spa treatment 😟 If they don't give a reasonable and affordable quote over the phone on the day...There's no way I would mess with it
This is why anytime I get botox/facials/laser I do it with the dermspa that is associated with my dermatologist's office. All of the service providers are RNs/NPs so I can trust there's no scam behavior going on.

Someone I went to high school with died from complications of getting multiple BBLs. She wasnt even 30. :(
MULTIPLE BBLs?!?!?!
@@FortheLoveofBeespeople gain the weight back cuz they don’t eat clean or workout and think they can just get surgery without maintaining it, so they end up needing it redone over and over again
@@valerie-pinkpeach I think you're confusing BBLs with the gastric sleeve/gastric bypass surgery. BBL is a Brazilian butt lift. They take some far from elsewhere in the body and use it to give people an ass. It's not really for the purpose of weight loss or becoming skinny tho. The sleeve it's where they surgically remove like half or more of the stomach so people get full quicker and physically cannot eat as much as they used to. It's specifically for weight loss. BBLs are super common but also super dangerous. The fat can migrate and mess with your heart and lungs and has caused many deaths. It's the most risky cosmetic procedure you can do.
Or you're thinking about Liposuction. It's most likely Liposuction. It didn't come up in my mind until I already replied. It's less drastic than lipo and more likely to need repeat sessions than the sleeve.
@@FortheLoveofBees yes, multiple. I think it was the 3rd one.
In Hong Kong, there’s a law that spas and gyms have to have a 48 hr cool down period where you can cancel the contract because they’re so predatory and it’s such a widespread issue
SUCH a good rule to have in place!
It’s a minimum of 14 days by law in England. *edit to add this is for all contracts from any ‘seller’
Same in France it's 15days@@UhOh-pt7sk
@@UhOh-pt7sk its 14 days in Austria too! And in my opinion, it should be at least 14 days since things can happen and your mindset can change! It's crazy and bad for business too to try to trap people in a predatory contract, first it's unethical and second with social media the people that are affected by that will talk about it. I truly don't understand why these companies do that, even if they don't care about being ethical, they are losing money and nobody is going to trust them even if they stop doing that shit.. It's baffling
48 hours is not enough time

the world of back alley veneers is so wild to me because i think even well done veneers on people who don’t really need them look BAD !
the ‘before’ photo always looks better 😭
Selena Gomez had a beautiful teeth, now they dont fit in her mouth.
@@iamReptarSame with Miley Cyrus, her teeth now look crazy.
Not only do they not look good, there’s always a risk. They can destroy your teeth - no matter if it’s well done or not. People should just leave their natural teeth alone if they’re healthy.
I loved my original front teeth but I got in an accident and lost one of them. I had a veneer on it since ontop of a filling and I’ve had to have it redone 5 times so far due to it not looking right and falling out and breaking. I still wish for my old tooth back 😢 I don’t get why anyone would choose this life unless they had a serious issue with their teeth or missing or broken teeth 😭
the way these "tech" treat veneers, botox, filler and braces as the same level as hair styles and lashes is downright sociopathic.
Not even like hairstyles and nails cuz that's my jobs and trust and believe there's hygiene needed, respect, transparency, offering quality and SAFE services. What they're doing is ridiculously wrong and low in quality 😭
I went to nine months of school and had to pass state testing to be able to do hair.
@@logic7753ok? But anyone can do hair. My friend does my hair at home and does it great, no schooling. Sorry not sorry, but your 9 months of training that isn’t even really needed has nothing on the amount of knowledge you need to be a dentist or professional in the field
Is this an American thing cause it would be wild if thing happened in the uk.
@@evda4919from what I can tell, Americans do tend to emphasize the importance of straight white teeth as a status symbol more than other countries. combine that with the fact that dental insurance is separate from our already notoriously terrible healthcare industry, and you’ve got a perfect storm for ppl seeking out cheap alternatives to give the illusion of straight white teeth with veneers
tbf though, it seems to be more popular in the UK to fly to another country to get cheaper dental work, like turkey.
ppl don’t treat plastic surgery seriously bc the ppl that promote it online and get them are rich and can afford to get them and get it on a whim and all these girls walk around with the same face, so ppls perception of beauty online is so warped they think that’s the normalized standard so ppl feel influenced to do it
Especially when the big celebrities getting even the most major and deadly surgeries like the Kardashian’s, just get it all undone a few years later when a different “aesthetic” becomes popular. Why would anyone take it seriously when for example they see people like Kim K getting dozens of procedures to get that unnatural hourglass, then a few years later she had basically every surgery reversed? Or how that entire family look completely different to when their show started/they turned 18.
So true but also, most of them get that shit done for free even if they don’t promote it online in hopes they may tell their friends to go there. Like that nude Joannah a few years ago that was doing literally everyone including tana mongeau and anyone in her circle. That shit went so far I was getting surprised by the people she was servicing. I understand her marketing technique that then increases her “value” so she can charge more by saying all those people go to her. The whole thing is wild to me.
@@stephaniegunnison5908 I’ve not heard about this! Who are you talking about sorry?
You nailed it!
I had a consultation with ideal image when I was 17 telling them my age and birthdate and they sold me a cool sculpting procedure for $7,000. I quickly realized I made a mistake and got caught up in the idea of looking how I wanted instead of thinking about financial implications. The same day I emailed saying I was 17 and any contract I signed wasn’t legally binding. They refused to give me my money back. Fortunately my dad’s a lawyer and it took one call for him to get me out of the contract and all my money back.
Oh my god I almost got cool sculpting because a woman I worked with recommended it to me (she had her own business on the side doing it apparently which in hindsight major red flag lol) ! I was totally sold on it but did some more research on it and realized it wasn’t worth the risk of the possible side effect (like it creating lumps apparently). I’m glad your dad was able to get you out of that mess! It’s always good to have a trusted older adult with more life experience for advice and help! It is sickening that place tried to take advantage of you.
I cannot imagine the stress that social media is putting on young women … not just the image problems and money, but the constant time commitment … laser appointment, teeth whitening appointment, hair extensions appointment, nail appointment, Botox, appointment, lip filler appointment, face filler appointment … it must be EXHAUSTING
YES. I can't even keep up with getting my roots done! I can't imagine all the other appointments on top of this.
Unfortunately I think the individuals who can afford all of that also can probably outsource other responsibilities so they just have an easier time overall.

the thing ab plastic surgery is that it’s bodily taxing, like not only do you have to have money but the time for the surgery and recovery period as well. your body went through a traumatic experience, as is any surgery, where it was cut up and, depending on the surgery, could have been either filed down, had implants put on, skin removed, etc. that’s hard on the body, really hard actually. and it’s not a short recovery time either, it can be long and uncomfortable and you can absolutely be in pain for days after. it’s not easy at all, it’s not just something that’s started one day and done the next.
I wanted a cosmetic procedure for my ptosis as I'm really self conscious about my appearance. Because of scarring, the toll cosmetic procedures can take and because it doesn't last long, I decided to wait until the droop is affecting my daytime vision to do anything about it. I'm only 25, it's going to get worse with age (it affects my low light vision but didn't when I was younger) so the less surgeries I have, the better it will be for me
This! And some procedures have weeks of feeling under the weather or having limited movement.
I bet not a single one of these people carries liability insurance. You can sue all you want but you can't get blood from an uninsured stone that deals only in cash.
Does anyone else think this kind of sounds like a multi level marketing scheme. The way that the first girl describes them as “girlypop” and having people take out loans and put themselves in debt. Like I know it’s not an mlm, because it doesn’t seem like they have salespeople, but that kinda confirms that it’s scammy to me.
When she talked about the things they said, I got mlm vibes as well.
It's a two level marketing scam. Dude sells the course, dips, and the people he scammed do all the actual criminal work...
I got laser hair removal through laser away. It’s not scammy she seems to be misinformed about how the payment plans work. The total cost of my laser package was $4000. Unless you want to pay all that up front, you will need a payment plan. And yes, it’s a “loan”, just like a car that you make payments on if you don’t buy in cash up front. The employees are salespeople, so yes, they are very bubbly and want to sell you things. I personally didn’t get treated poorly due to being on the monthly payments but if that was her experience that’s unfortunate. The nurses performing the procedures are actually real licensed nurses so it is a legit company.
I love how we all collectively laughed at the "in mexican" 😭😭 i was walking my dog while listening and i laughed way too loud lmfao
I'm listening on the school run home and I cackled. Got a few weird looks off the mums 😂😂
This may sound "ok boomer" of me, but as a 37 almost 38 year old woman, seeing all these young twenty somethings get so much done honestly makes me sad when people my age, including myself, did not look near as beautiful as these young women. It was the wild west in makeup and skincare in the late 2000's and we had no idea what we were doing. I also worry the state of their skin when they reach my age. The moral of this is do what you'd like ladies and gents, but be aware that you only get one face and body and no beauty standard is worth risking your one chance in life or regretting that you didn't leave well enough alone.
I’m 39 and agree with most what of what you said, except that I think our generation is aging much better and looked way better at that age. I think that all of these procedures age young people so much! I always think these people are much older than they actually are. And I also wonder, as you mentioned, what the consequences off all this work will do to their skin and looks as they age? 😩
You are 22-23 years too young to even qualify as a boomer. 😃
Yikes, scammers that have access to people's bodies and well-being are scary.

The thought of people without medical licenses giving veneers makes my teeth hurt.
On the topic of veneers... my mom got hers, when she was around 20. Due to horrible genetics, she needed them (teeth rotting from inside while looking perfect from outside, so doctors didn't notice) so growing up, I saw her struggling. The cost being so high,she couldn't always afford new ones and it was very visible. Her teeth didn't look clean anymore, no matter how much she brushed and so she hid her smile most of the time. It was really sad and when she got a set of removable teeth a few years back, the dentist really struggled, to fit them to her, as those stubs provided no hold. So they drilled into her gum to make new anchors and the whole process left her unable to eat properly for around 4 month. The suffering those people will have to endure in a few decades is no joke at all :/
One more info: I am from Germany. We DO HAVE health care AND she was with professional dentists and surgeons. And it was still so expensive AND painfully AND took so long...
Don't even want to think about, how bad it would be in America .....
How do these people even do taxes? What do they file their profession as? If they’re not legit dentists,and tech veneers isn’t a thing,what do they file their earnings as? They’re going to get caught like Al Capone. 😂
I doubt they're paying taxes if they're not even bothered to get the right education/certifications for the procedures they're doing...
They only handle in cash, not by card.

I work for a company that distributes fillers. People who come for training are trained by a plastic surgeon (not our sales rep) and they have to either be a doctor, nurse or dentist. “Filler tech” is not a thing.
Unfortunately in Texas, anyone can inject as long as they have a medical director. It’s so wild to see all of these scammy companies host 1 or 2 day Botox/ filler trainings to anyone who wakes up and decides they want to do it.
i had a mole on my chin that i got removed, but only because i actually thought about it for YEARS. it’s improved my confidence tremendously. i also got bullied for my nose being big as a child. i thought about surgery as a child, but as an adult i don’t really care. i never really had an issue with my nose, it was them. DONT DO IT BECAUSE OF OTHERS… DO IT FOR YOU!!!
What blows my mind is if you asked any of these people getting these dangerous procedures done on their teeth, "Hey, would you get a bone reset or have surgery in a house by someone who had a 2 day course?" They would immediately say no. But somehow getting their teeth permanently altered is A-OK because it isn't seen as medical work and it is!
I have started asking these folks if they are overseen by a board certified doctor. Ideal Image dodges the question every time. A lot of dermatologists will perform the same procedures and purchase their injectables through proper channels.
Always ask these places what medical training they have! You will be shocked at how many do not! I know it mah be unfeasible for someone to go to a medical doctor to get this work done, but I promise you and your gorgeous skin are worth it!!
That is a good idea
its like nobody is taking into account HOW close ur mouth is to ur brain and how if u get the wrong infection ur cooked
Also, dental health is closely linked to heart health. Infections of the mouth can cause endocarditis. All of this stuff is so invasive, it makes me shudder.
My heart goes out to the people who have ruined their teeth AND had a huge expense to fix the work done. So sad.

demi lovato trying to cancel a yogurt place bc they had sugar free yogurt and it was “triggering” her body issues and then proceeding to be sponsored by a filler brand is crazy

As someone who is Turkish, born and raised in Istanbul, i can fully say that even for people who are from Turkey it's sometimes tricky to find a good surgeon. From what I have observed is that usually surgeons that are recommended by doctors I know are all on the pricier side, and might be even close to the pricesEuropen eu at times. The surgeons that have a customer base from abroad are usually known but honestly considering some even offer to pay for the flight and hotels and still be a more affordable option I think shows that although not all are bad , its still questionable in my opinion.

The funny not so funny part about all this is that in 10-20 years we’re going to see all these people having serious medical problems because of these cheap clandestine plastic surgeries.
2 years ago I had plastic surgery to remove a tumor. I want people to know that sometimes plastic surgery is not purely cosmetic.
Truth! Plastic surgery is often used to restore function and form. For example someone could get plastic surgery on their lips/mouth for cleft lip. Or a “nose job” that actually corrects the sinuses and makes it easier to breathe. Or skin grafts to improve the skin barrier after a severe burn. Aesthetics are just one part of plastic surgery. The other is function.
Obviously no one’s referring to a tumour …

my country, finland, i think is the only country in europe where you dont need to have any training and/or certification to give fillers. like legally nothing stands in your way; anyone with any bussiness can offer them. it’s so dangerous and crazy, we desperately need some laws here to change it. it’s especially harmful because these places will give fillers to minors, there was a big investigation into it by the state media YLE. my lip fillers were done by a literal doctor, and i love them, no complaints, but most people who offer fillers here are absolutely not doctors 😅😅
same thing here in texas! i think its so scary to get something done by someone who isnt a nurse or doctor
it’s bad in scotland as well because under 18s are allowed filler and so many people advertise doing them when they’re not qualified. we are said to be the worst in europe for risky fillers😅😅
Unfortunately this is the case in the UK as well.

Omg the veneers and braces are sending chills down my spine 💀
My dad (who is almost 60 now) recently had to get veneers due to his poor teeth health. They removed all of his teeth and then put in the veneers. This wasn't an aesthetic choice it was literally either that or dentures or no teeth. They told him they will have to redo them every 10-15 years because of the wear the veneers can experience. He had no teeth for 8 months because for full removal they had to wait for his gums to heal and he is genuinely dreading having to go through the process of getting new ones put in again cause of how much it hurt and how hard it was to eat for the month following the implants. Also i had braces for 4 years ( as pre-teen to early teen) and before that i had to see my dentist who determined i had to get surgery to get 5 teeth removed due to cavities and had to have a bridge in my mouth for 6 months prior to widen the roof of my mouth so there was actually room for my teeth to straighten out properly. PLEASE DO NOT SEE BASEMENT BRACES OR VENEER TECHS THEY AREN"T PROPERLY TRAINED SO THEY DON"T ACTUALLY KNOW WHAT THEY ARE DOING!
I am actually ill at the thought of a veneer tech. I hate the dentist and those are real, medically trained professionals that went to actual dentistry schools for years.....I cannot ever IMAGINE letting some random person who took a virtual course put metal tools in my mouth that is INSANE to me
As a nurse injector not in the wild west (the UK) it’s absolutely insane to think a beauty therapist is doing dermal fillers

Truly, it's a systemic issue -- we structure society to enrich grifters and that entails throwing their victims under the bus for their credulity.
But its the persons responsibility to ask the right questions and research. Take accountability and stop blaming others. People do know the dangers of things and still choose to pursue things, for some sort of external or internal validation.
@@iamReptar While the victim does have some fault into the issue, but the bigger blame should fall on the scammers. Scammers are always coming up with new schemes, some which are not even up on the internet that you can research about. Some even do the clever trick of manipulating reviews online or giving mixed services. Plus, everyone has been a novice at something, Everyone has been in a situation where they have been so desperate that they would take a chance.

To add to what you said in the beginning, whilst it may be normalized to a lot of the influencers creating this content to have had cosmetic procedures done, the average viewer is NOT going to have had any cosmetic procedures done. Idk, especially considering the economic climate rn, where the average household is worried they won't be able to afford groceries soon (at least in my country.) It seems so insensitive to recommend expensive products without any kind of disclaimer to the procedures they've had done when it might affect the products outcome, especially when the people you're recommending them to likely can barely afford them. this ended up being a rant but i have a lot of thoughts about the beauty industry lmao
I worked for a "med spa" when I was in HS as the patient coordinator/receptionist. All the sales people there would tell clients it took 3-6 treatments for laser when it really took 12+ for most people. They absolutely knew it took more than 6 but lied to get them started and then hooked enough to keep coming. The real scam was the product they pushed along with it that promised better results....which never happened. While I know it can work for people....its not a "one size fits all" and people should go to an actual esthetician or RN/MD for these types of things and not a "med spa" which are often full on untrained people working beyond the scope of their certification/license.
I worked at Milan, the other big place, they absolutely break you down and make sure you do. not. leave. until you sign that paper. their practices are absolutely horrible and predatory. I hated this job so much. I refused to push people that said they couldnt afford it and i was constantly getting in trouble for not forcing people to upgrade when they couldnt afford too.
In my town we have a "Med spa" but they only offer vitamin IV's and and saline/ hydration IV's is that even safe or legal? I have not personally gone but i have been wondering about the legitimacy of such products and services.
My dad got veneers when he was done with braces because his jaw was larger than his teeth and he would have had gaps between them. He got them done professionally and they’ve held up for 35 years and look amazing. THE INVESTMENT IS WORTH IT. You really do get what you pay for.
Yes! Longer form videos! Please make more in the future because I love hearing you talk 🥰
My parents are dentists and they are horrified by the veneer boom. Pretty looking teeth are not better than your own teeth. Just… destroying healthy teeth for veneers is so horrifying
To be fair, nearly everything in the US requires a third party loan service. Car broke down? Monthly payments. Tooth chipped? Monthly payments. Can’t afford Christmas presents this year? Monthly payments. It’s easy to sign off on these types of loans when it’s become normalized across the board.
A payment plan is not the same thing as taking out a loan
??? I have never had to take out loans for any of that stuff, and I am not even middle class well off. Payment plans don't require loans.
So I get botox for chronic headaches and migraines, and it is legitimately dangerous to have people potentially injecting themselves or other people with it if they aren't properly trained especially with the amounts that girl's family was talking about seeing those places selling. You're injecting botulism, a neurotoxin, into your face and the areas on and surrounding your head, including some places very close to veins. Very much like lip fillers and BBLs, if you do that wrong, you could very easily get very sick or die.
I have nothing against people getting it cosmetically. I don't quite understand it because it's painful but I don't care if people want to be masochists in their spare time. I had a vertical wrinkle between my eyebrows from permanent eyebrow furrowing disappear as a side effect of the botox and it made me feel inexplicably better about myself. I just hate that it can be so expensive or inaccessible, regardless of why you get it, that so many people are willing to increase their risk of serious bodily injury and that so many people are willing to take advantage of that desperation.
Thank you for mentioning that Botox is derived from the botulinum toxin (one of the most dangerous poisons in the world). Not enough people mention this, but there's definitely a risk associated with Botox, it's not just an easy fix.
these things have become as common as a manicure, it’s out of control & people end up looking like a caricature of their former self.

😁 In no way trying to be rude. Mexican -> Spanish. And one of the biggest problems is that these people are not getting veneers. When you shave down the teeth they are technically being crowns. That's why the need to be replaced. Also, true veneers will end up being Cheaper! Even in the US. Like you said it's just a bonding overlay.

Perhaps saying "the banalization of plastic surgery" could be a good term. Because normalization is okay, no-one should be stigmatized for that, but it shouldn't be a banal thing you do one random Wednesday afternoon because you were bored.
It blows my mind that the first girl had to take out a loan for 6 months worth of treatment that claims to do the same as a simple Tretinoin cream/gel. Tretinoin or even OTC Differin gel is much cheaper and, in some cases, does not take that long to see results.
I did not have braces for 4 years just for people to get them done in basements aha
Gods I wish people would go to ACTUAL dentists. I have actual need for veneers (multiple missing teeth) and I'm only 28. If you cannot afford to go to a licensed dentist, PLEASE PLEASE seek out your local dentistry school. The dental school girl is legitimately true; they WILL help you. They did a wisdom tooth removal for my ex partner. Please also avoid aspen dental if youre in the US. It is apparently NOTORIOUSLY difficult to get insurance to cover your shit. Your teeth are SO important. I'm so so so serious. 28 years old and missing FIVE teeth (genetics and some dental malpractice.)
I recently watched a video where a girl went to one of these fly by night filler places and got a flesh eating disease. They were ordering their fillers from alibaba. She was in the hospital for over a year and is still dealing with the repercussions. The place changed their name and moved to a new location.
This is my first video and I’m only a couple minutes in. But I really like your thought process and way of speaking!
I'm in the process of getting veneers, but that's because I have shitty crooked teeth. People with healthy, almost perfect teeth getting them is like... Nooooo, what are you doing???
This video just shows how bad people are at parenting daughters and giving them lessons on saying no
Idk if it’s ur plans but I hope there’s a chill grwm soon! Miss those ✌️
Xeomin (what Demi was advertising) isn't a filler, it's essentially botox. Just a correction.
yeah it’s a botox competitor-also assuming her “frown lines” are her glabella and maybe DAOs so not much to do with cheeks and lips
Tbh loving the longer vids 🤭🤭
When I got my lip filler, I was looking at different places in my town to get it, Ideal Image being one of them. Before I could get any info on prices, what brands of filler they use, etc, it had me put in my email address, phone number, and the procedure(s) I was interested in…. Sh!t you not, within 5 minutes, my phone was ringing and these bitches would contact me AT LEAST 3 times a week either by phone or email. Always saying the same thing: “hey love! I see you were looking at getting lip filler! I’d love to schedule a free consultation with you! Also, we offer payment plans on our procedures too! Give us a call when you can!”
Obviously I chose a different plastic surgeon, and finally had to ask them to leave me the hell alone. I get it’s their job and all, but holy sh!t if I didn’t respond or answer your 137 messages, give it up.
As someone who has watched many videos on the TikTok drama with the Veneer techs and lip techs and plastic surgery. I agree it melts your brain 😂 I start mixing my words too
As an older lady (50+), I like to use the lipstick that gives a "velvet" look or a lip stain that you can use lip balm over because as we age our lips naturally get lines. I've always worn capstick to protect my lips, especially lip balm at night. This helps keep your lips naturally soft. Try not to lick your lips through out the day because that'll dry them out.
Wasn't there a book series about a society where once a kid turned 18, they were mandated to get plastic surgery so that no one would give the city a bad name? Full of plot holes, but this kinda reminds me of that series.
This is why I've never downloaded TikTok - it rots your brain.
Omg even before getting crowns, braces, veneers you have to have gone to your dentist to make sure your teeth are cleaned and there’s no cavities or any oral concerns 😭
I’m fortunate to have had good results from laser hair removal. You can’t expect perfect results after the initial 8 sessions. It’s common to need maintenance if you want to be 100% hair free. They’re very clear about the fact that each session only removes about 15% of the hair. It’s not cheap but it’s worth it IMO
Was about to go to sleep and then I saw 45+ mins of Angelika on my feed. Guess i'll sleep later 😌
the thing with the veneer techs is quite literally illegal. It’s medical malpractice if they aren’t licensed. i’m sure there’s loopholes and stuff but still it’s sketch as hell
I think there are many people who don't consider the effects of e.g. botox and filler when they think about how a certain product looks one someone or is said to make the skin look glowy, smooth, whatever. Obviously, one knows what those "substances" do, but I don't think I am the only one, forgetting to think about that. When I watch a video from an to me unknown creator I don't know what procedures they might have done with their face and think that e.g. a cream they shout out made this effect. But I don't see any creator mention what they did in the beginning of every video. Then it is on us to dig and find out if we really wanna know if a certain product might work.
Loving these long form videos!!!
Trust your instincts people! If something is telling you something is off with a certain situation......it probably is.
Omg I haven’t watched you for years and randomly thought about you awhile ago and then this video popped up in my recommended! Wild
To your very last point:
If a dentist put veneers over cavities, yes, I would expect them to get sued because THEY KNOW BETTER.
Where I live you need to be a Nurse or Doctor to be able to do injections. The course to be certified cost about $4000, you have to pass exams and re certify yearly. It’s sad that there are scammers out there using people’s insecurities to make money.
I feel so bad for the girl who got scammed on the laser treatment. People are so harsh. Being naive or trusting medical professionals isn’t a damn crime like come on. Yes most of us wouldn’t “fall” for that, BUT being naive and being stupid are two different things. This woman was clearly manipulated to the max and I know how hard it is to say no in those situations. They are trained to scam, so it’s not that strange that she, as a more naive or trusting person, will give them a chance.
The amount of people coming out that they have lost a kidney when getting a bbl done is insane. Please try and get a trusted doctor when getting ANY cosmetic surgery.
Somehow I was not ready for the 'beauty service' to 'scammy loans' pipeline .... Like
I'm not going through the procedure you need for a house or a car with some random third party company after calling up about a spa treatment 😟
If they don't give a reasonable and affordable quote over the phone on the day...There's no way I would mess with it
This is why anytime I get botox/facials/laser I do it with the dermspa that is associated with my dermatologist's office. All of the service providers are RNs/NPs so I can trust there's no scam behavior going on.
Long form content!!!!!!! IM HERE FOR IT ❤
you 100% should need medical training to do injectables too btw. A registered nurse at the very least
