Whether it's Hydrafacial, lip fillers, or a thread facelift: In the jungle of beauty options, it's hard to keep track. In addition, supposed professionals repeatedly offer treatments that do more harm than good, come with great risks, or are ineffective but expensive. To ensure you don't fall into the trap, 20 Minuten asked dermatologists which treatment they would never undergo.
The dermatologist warns against fillers that do not dissolve again: "I would never use permanent fillers like silicone oil or polyacrylamide gel. If a complication occurs - in the worst case, this can be blindness due to a vascular occlusion - the substances cannot be dissolved again." According to the dermatologist, such fillers can also cause problems years later. "Surgical removal is then very difficult."
The expert also disapproves of the removal of fat from the cheeks, known as buccal fat removal, which is hyped on social networks. "It can look good at a younger age. However, with age, there is a loss of volume, and the face then appears hollow and prematurely aged." In addition: Once removed, fat cannot be regained.
