    Beauty treatment goes wrong! Woman left with ‘lizard neck’ after skin-tightening procedure
    The 59-year-old was approached by the police for "harassing" the beautician after posting a critical review on Facebook.

    Digital Desk: A woman alleged that a botched cosmetic treatment left her neck with a "lizard" appearance.

    Jayne Bowman, 59, spent £500 (about Rs 48,000) on a fibroblast therapy procedure to tighten the skin on her neck. A gadget zaps a high-frequency electric current across the skin during cosmetic surgery to promote tissue regeneration.

    However, Jayne was left with several red spots and scars as a result of the procedure. She visited a beautician she found on Facebook for the procedure. Even though the dots ultimately disappeared, the elderly woman found the experience difficult.

    "I never leave the house without a scarf. In reality, I hate being outside; I'd much prefer go outside in the rain, where I can wear a hood and no one can see me. There are a lot of poor beauticians out there, though I'm not criticising all of them because they aren't all the same. Remain with professionals, "The Daily Mail quoted Jayne as saying.

    Jayne went on a diet and lost weight, but she still had extra skin. She claimed to "hate" her double chin and to have looked into cosmetic surgery.

    It is to be noted that she had posted on Facebook, "Can anyone recommend me a place to have Botox on my double chin?" Later she was informed about a procedure known as "fibroblast plasma" by a beauty therapist.

    "I looked at her page and found that she met all the requirements and had excellent reviews. My neck, though, felt like it was on fire when I came home. After a few weeks, nothing had changed but the terrible scarring. Thousands of brow dots covered my entire chest. I appeared to be a reptile." said Jayne.

    She added, "All that was left of me was a neck covered in unattractive red dots. The terrible scarring made leaving the house unbearable for me."

    The 59-year-old was approached by the police for "harassing" the beautician after posting a critical review on Facebook.

    "I was shocked. But when the other individuals messaged to indicate that the same had occurred to them, I felt I was in the correct, "she said.

    Jayne went on, "Now that I am actively campaigning, I have even started a petition requesting even stronger rules for the beauty sector. I merely want justice after being murdered at the beauty salon; money is not my goal. I have the scars to show it; it has truly been a living nightmare. "

    "Anyone seeking a cosmetic operation should take the time to identify a reputable, safe, and qualified practitioner and consider the potential consequences of surgery on both their physical and mental health," a representative for the Department of Health and Social Care said.

    "Patient safety must always come first, which is why we are examining whether further clarity about therapy classification and better, more rigorous protections for the regulation of providers of these treatments are necessary," they added.
