A beauty clinic client shared her traumatic experience after a beauty procedure went wrong, resulting in severe burns on her face. The beauty treatment was carried out by a new employee who apparently adjusted the equipment incorrectly.

 

The client, named only as Am, works as a TV show host. She has been left in agony, unable to work, and facing a significant financial burden for corrective treatment.

 

The incident occurred on September 3, at an unnamed clinic in a local Thai shopping centre. After receiving a usual acne treatment, the client underwent a basic laser treatment, performed not by a doctor, but by a clinic employee.

Am reported feeling intense heat during the beauty treatment, which did not subside even after it had finished. Despite her distress, the clinic only provided steroids for relief, without any immediate cooling treatment.

Following the incident, Am immediately reported it to the police. The clinic, admitting their mistake, promised full compensation for the costs incurred. However, as of September 22, the client had not received any form of compensation or an apology from the clinic’s management.

It's so sad that people insist on prioritizing vanity over common sense.

This particular incident, has nothing much to do with that. The wrong person at the clinic, did the service, and used the tools in a wrong way. Normally this is a very easy procedure.

Sad

 

I wonder if any beauty treatment ever helped. I don't remember any female actually looked better after some treatment. Different, yes. Better? No.

And when they are not happy after they got some treatment, what do they do? More treatment, with the same unsatisfying result. Amazing! 

Its always best not to name the maiming clinic so others can enjoy getting their face burnt off ????

Might have something to do with the insane defamation laws here.

Yes. On the plus-side, she might have skin white like a wall now, which seems to be more important in this part of the world than getting a couple more scars...

My daughter had her nose narrowed and asked if I thought she looked better, I said you still look the same, but you look 25,000 baht poorer now

Understand if she feels pressure as a TV host to seek beauty treatments.  When girlfriend wanted Botox I did some research and quizzed the Doctors at multiple clinics.  Thought she would do basic Due Diligence as her face was very important to her occupation.

Is it just me (probably is lol, ????) or do folks, often, who have plastic surgery, lip filler to the point of looking like some sort of weird blow-up doll, skin whitening so they look like ghosts, way too big boob jobs that look so fake and inflated, look like strange anime quasi-aliens?

I see the Euro, and it seems especially the Russian gals around the island and they look totally deformed to me.

Jesus wept. Sue the bastards for billions of baht.

You are right

 

I'm with Forrest Gump on this.

 

Stupid is as stupid does.

 

You are pretty enough to get a job on television but then have to gamble it away in the hope of being prettier.

That is an issue here, people and businesses are not held accountable for their own errors or ineptitude.....

This girl went for an acne treatment, so no neet to compare it to your bargirl's botox or tit job.

 

I remember in my teenage years wanting to get rid of acne too. 

 

I'd swear it was set to stun!

It's just environmental madness where crazy people are running rampant

 

The issue here is not that a girl went for treatment, but that long term damage has caused as a result of poor training and poor standards.

 

This could be considered 'mal-practice' however, I wonder if such a place has a licence to practice in the first place. 

 

The insult here is the offer of a refund for the procedure and not compensation. 

 

Of course, all such places of treatment should carry insurance to cover such eventualities... I doubt many do. 

 

 

 

Poor las, feel sorry for her. Hope the ‘beauty clinic’ gets shafted, but unlikely. Here on television more so than many places would drive a lady to try to look perfect. She’s gone from a rather fetching hooman with a few spots to a, nonetheless fetching, tiger with a few spots.

She had finished the Acne treatment, but then she let a padwan practise on her face with a light sabre.
