The CONCERNING girlboss-ification of cosmetic procedures on Tik Tok. 

I really like you putting the relevant content on the left side of the screen instead of cutting to it entirely. I think it makes those sections more engaging.

You know what they say, rules are written in blood, and I have a feeling nobody is going to heavily crack down on these scammers until someone loses their life

people can do whatever they want with their bodies but they should at least be fully aware of what exactly it is they’re doing ☠️☠️ wtf

Girl you are spot on with the pinkification of this stuff. They think getting pink applicators and making the session aesthetic makes up for the lack of certification

the teeth acrylics made me visibly cringe. imagine the sensitivity problems if it went wrong

It will be a cold day in hell when I let someone practice lasering a UV light into my eyeball.

You guys should hear about a case here in Brazil where an “influencer”, did an online course on PHENOL PEEL towards the end of last year and was doing the procedure in her clinic where she pretended to be a graduated esthetician- even though the phenol peel can only be done legally in a safe surgical environment. And now the worst has happened, a young man d13d soon after the procedure, and she’s facing a hom1c1d3 accusation…

What grinds my gears is knowing people personally that participate in these unsafe practices but flat out question or deny medical professionals on let’s say OTHER matters. Face

I don’t know why people are comparing nails to eyes. Isn’t the skin over the eye the thinnest , also nails grow back??

Dude, 10 years ago when I wanted to get into gel and acrylic nails, it was SO HARD to find/buy products without a cosmetology license or proof me actually being a trained nail tech. Now people are getting lip filler pens off Amazon. I’m just shocked that we’re even having this issue in the first place. Scary!

Why is no one talking about the possibility of getting contact dermatitis with the un-cured gel on skin around the eyes 💀💀terrifying

Why would anyone want uv light by your eyes😭 that’s scares me so much

Care for a side of ocular melanoma with those lashes 😭😭😭 jfc why

Why are people so desperate to destroy and or change their bodies? It scares me. And how selfish and evil are they to do such procedures on people. Great that you are talking about this! ❤

it’s almost like you knew i was about to sit down and eat 🤭

I had a cosmetic surgery last year after considering it for a long time for health as well as well as aesthetic reasons and even with me having professionals that I trusted and a lot of body image centered therapy before and after, it was still a brutal physical and mental recovery. It was definitely the right choice for me and my body but it shouldn’t be trivialized like this and sold as this “easy” thing that everyone should be doing.

"I bought my pens from South Korea." Ah yes, because there is no criminal activity in South Korea 🙄

This is nightmare fuel. It's really time for new legislation. People need to protect themselves as well. I'm glad you did this video because it could help someone not make a terrible mistake.

Absolutely disgusting that people can be greedy enough to put other people's live at risk, just to fill their pockets... I hope karma will get them all.

I hope they make their clients wear sunscreen before shining UV on their faces like that...

The new laptop IMMEDIATELY being put to work! 😂

iiiii rare crossover of two of my fav creators

Also I’ll never understand why people want veneers so bad, veneers are essentially dentures for people that have beyond damaged teeth, but the people getting them have natural fine teeth but want them to be straighter, (obviously they’re getting them bc social media told them to) but why would you immediately jump to veneers as if invisline and braces don’t still exist, and they’re getting veneers from people with no licenses at that, now these people have permanently effed up teeth and probably have to pay a life time to get them fixed

New fear unlocked with that mycobacterium thing. I had no idea it was a thing and am now terrified.

It’s so refreshing seeing someone actually speak on this since people are taking this way too far

This type of lamp being used near the eye? This is so dangerous....

I think social media has really normalized cosmetic surgery for average people. Now instead of changing your hair and makeup to "camoflauge" the imperfection, people are resorting to cosmetic surgery way too soon.

I feel like this isn’t gonna stop till someone gets seriously hurt and can’t fix it

hearing about the lip filler makes me sooo queasy. how gnarly is it that random stuff is getting injected into lips to swell them up omg.

I wish you could legally get your medical debt transferred via courts to the person who caused your medical issues. Poor medical practice, an attack, negligent driver and so on? Just transfer the debt to the company or person involved. Why the hell should it be a victims problem to deal with?

even if i wasn’t a licensed esthetician, as well as a lash tech, using UV light around your eyes is clinically insane…

Am I the only one who really doesn’t like the look of lash extensions?

Those hylaron pens they are using to fill Lips are so dangerous. I've never seen good results on anyone who had filler done with one of those pens. I looked into it years ago because it was like 50% cheaper than normal filler...thank God I didn't follow thru with it because I met an amazing nurse/esthetic trainer who gave me the most beautiful lips. I had no top lip and she had to be very precise and patient while filling them. I've seen her 4 times now and I'm beyond happy with my results. Please don't get filler with the Hylaron pen! I saw a video where they were even using it to do fat dissolving! (Bootleg kybella) I've seen some really scary reactions from that one too.

One of my favourite commentary creators highlighting and featuring my other favourite content creator !!! I feel so spoiled. Love everyones work!

Like fuck am I going to just anyone to get my lips filled, are you joking? It should ONLY be a nurse prescriber, what happens if you have an anaphylactic reaction? They aren’t able to administer Adrenaline, they might not even be able to recognise the signs of anaphylaxis. Are they aware of the signs of occlusion and/or tissue necrosis?

It’s all fun and games until somebody loses an eye.

Skin cancer anyone??

That's crazy.. in dentistry we look away of the light while curing fillings cause the light is damaging to the sight... lighting it right into the eye is a crazy concept

I cant tell if the camera is new or not but u look ethereal in this set up!

Are lawsuits not scary anymore?

As someone with an eye condition that is painful it horrifies me to see people messing about near people's eyes like the start of this video. DON'T MESS WITH YOUR EYES PEOPLE. Thanks for highlighting this stuff, it is absolute insanity

The fact that her receipts are like random articles and app dms

Lash tech here 👋 the vast majority of lash techs in the industry are equally horrified by the LED/UV lamps. There is a lash supply company that has been viewed as reputable for a very long time now selling them, Temu/amazon etc aren’t the only problem. This company sells the lamp & kit with safety goggles for the lash tech. Surely that proves it’s not safe for eyes? But go ahead and use it on your clients’ eyes.. mind blowing

im 2 mins in and so far it looks like they are adapting gel nails for eyelash extensions... also my nail tech told me once that the heat and zapping people feel while curing the gel nails in a lamp is the rapid movement of molecules in the gel as they solidify or something like that and that i should take my hand out is it hurts, otherwise i can get a literal burn on my nail (idk the validity of that, never bothered to google and fact check the scientific explanation)

Sp glad someone is talking on this.I have been thinking of doing something myself and may go forth.Someone needs to look into online boutiques.

I LOVE Isabella thank you for shouting out her content

So thankful for this long video getting me through my walk on the treadmill 😂 love ya! ❤

if the uv lamp that’s used on the eyes is “safe” because it isn’t as strong (at least that’s how i understood it) how do you know the gel is being fully cured ?? the uv lights that are used on nails are a certain wattage for a reason.. i can’t even imagine what contact dermatitis would feel like on the eyes jfc

Thanks for spreading the word on this 😭 I have always been scared of getting cosmetic procedures (not like I could afford it) but I am going to continue to be wary and vigilant and I hope younger more impressionable people do the same! It's so sad you could go for a simple procedure and end up battling serious medical conditions because of unlicensed practitioners

The person with the plant in the background talking about the lip filler was just so well spoken and client centered like you can tell a real person in the industry. But that's hind sight for some, these MALICIOUS people searching for the bag are so predatory and disgusting, they take advantage of people who might not tell they're not legit. Professionals buy supplies from professional places. Drop shipping is scary, the tools around are scary when it comes to people preying on others for a buck. Nasty.

Its mostly happening to black women so regulations aren’t being rushed.

Woooo! I just discovered Isabella a few weeks ago. So happy to see you include her

That first woman, UV??!!! On the eyes??!!! Have they never heard of cancer?

I'm so glad I never got into any of these procedures. I'm a nurse and I just question how all these procedures are gonna play out as the years go on. I see more bad than good. They've already proven that filler never fully goes away. They have done multiple MRI scans on people and they can see filler still visible years and years after they've been injected. So I wonder how that will affect them as years go on.

I love Isabelle! & these "techs" are getting outrageous!

You and Isabella are my faves

i just cant imagine pointing uv light directly at my eyes like what

Our health insurance in the US is the WORST

Thank you for bringing awareness to these "procedures"!!! 😊

Ahh love you & Isabelle ❤️ so good to see you both in one video 👌👌

As someone who has been getting LED lash extensions with very professional and experienced tech I could not imagine my eyes being burnt?! Poor girl, and it makes me so sad that people aren’t being properly educated.

I have been subscribed to you for YEARS I watch your videos everyday even if it’s not new I normally fall asleep to your videos at night. Anyway tell my why it just told me I’m NOT subscribed!! Please RU-vid get it together I only watch this and good mythical morning so come on lol

I was waiting for you to mention the nail lamps (10:50) and honestly I would absolutely not be surprised if they are also using some nail product on the lashes, it would explain the burn when they are 'curing' them....

Whyyyyy do people keep experimenting with body parts that don't grow back, are very expensive to fix if they can be and hurt the worst when something goes wrong???? Teeth. Eyes. Aaaaah.

not even 1 minute into the video and had to full stop because the uv light burning the eye took me out!!! what are these people doing?!

when you have really thin nails (I do from a year of gel and I know it’s bad to keep applying gel but my nails were damaged from biting anyway) the burn hurts SO BADLY and doesn’t go away for 10-15 seconds. I’ve writhed in pain sometimes 😭 I’ve improved on my technique overtime though, and get it rarely

you cannot take a shortcut in health or in self-confidence. if your teeth do not align together when you bite, it will ruin your jaw in a big way, wreck your whole life. the cost of fixing veneers & those acrylic things?? will ruin your whole life for decades- financially, physically, emotionally, & mentally. whatever decision made in desperation & self-shame will haunt you much longer than the inner work necessary to overcome this. i know it's hard, but finding people to surround yourself with who will love & cherish you, that you will be able to be loving & silly & happy together without worry, will be infinitely more healing than any shame induced actions created by peer-pressure from those that don't even respect you. love without respect isn't love at all. you deserve real love with real respect. be safe, be kind to yourself, be gentle.

This made me think of John Cuckian. 😂 What happened to him?

You cant see red flags when someone burns your eyes out with a UV lights...

It irritates me so much when people treat teeth like it's nails. Stop there's a reason your dentist trains for so long and gets medical training to be a doctor of teeths. U get one set of adult teeth, that are connected to so many vital nerves in the jaw and more. No to mention if they do that over cavities your teeth will rot underneath that's where "veneer breath" comes from. Yes it's frustrating dental care is so expensive but it'll cost more to fix

34:00 OMG, poor young lady!!! It's crazy dangerous out here! Please look for certifications on your own because many just want $$$$! The ONLY way an Aesthetician can do injectables is if we apprentice under a Dermatologist or get our RN degree/license in addition to our license. Us standard Aestheticians only get 750 hours with limited Anatomy & Physiology of the face/body. More course hours and extensive medical training will be needed to be certified in that area. Ask for their certifications and go to the .gov site in your state to verify them.

I am triggered after having all my teeth removed due to trauma i was left a root system intact after the surgery.Set up infection and down to 110 lbs!Life is done for me...

omg i love seeing you stitch with isabellas video!! i was just watching it!!💕💕

So earlyy love it! U look great 😍 Also wondering about your thoughts on the Cody Tana situation. Are you planning on making a video? Loveee❤❤

could we just go back to strip lashes? lol

when worlds collide!!!! i loveee isabella

We desperately need some kind of regulatory agency that can investigate and prosecute these DIY “techs.” Since these people have no license or regulatory agency they have to report to, it seems the only action victims can take is to file a lawsuit which rarely results in consequences because if the tech being sued has no money, the victim will never receive their restitution. These people deserve jail time yet the police and DA seem unable and/or unwilling to investigate/prosecute.

I absolutely loathe how whenever those "injector techs" are called out for performing life threatening procedures their come back is always something along the lines of "y'all just hate to see a woman being successful", "y'all just hating bc you hate so see a black woman winning" like no girl. Go girlboss however you want but don't put other peoples lives on the line for a 'successful' brand Edit: over $1 million in medical dept what the actual fuck??? how is that legal?? the US is absolutely a third world country nay even a third world country has better medical care

Those lip pens look like the equivalent of getting your ears pierced at Claire’s with a gun by a 16 year old. Like it does work but it’s the worst way to do it and likely to cause some damage 🫣

Ayyy Isabella mention! Love her channel and yours

I love Isabella too you're both great content creators ❤❤❤

Just a reminder from your friendly local physicist that UV light is radiation. The same thing that comes from these lights also comes out of gamma radioactive substances and your microwave, just with different wavelengths/energies. And it can absolutely be used safely and effectively, just like a microwave can be - but when it's going near sensitive body parts you need to let the trained professionals handle the procedure

crying, this girl really saves me from full breakdown

Imagine thinking you are going to save money using these people just to spend the money you saved and more in medical bills or treatments to fix the issue

Please know the red flags to look out for when having any beauty treatments done. Whether it be lashes, nails, facials.. anything! Real damage can be done and it can lead to lifelong issues that impact other treatments (for example 2-HEMA is not only used in Gel nail products, it’s also used in the medical fields which means if you develop an allergy to it, you may not be able to seek medical help if needed x) 😢

As an esthetician, this stuff makes me SO mad. I've seen so so many people neglecting their clients' health just for a paycheck. This industry is wildly unregulated, and it is scary. ALWAYS do research into anyone/any company before you get a procedure done. If you go somewhere and you feel uneasy, don't go through with it.

I really like format of videos ❤

What’s so crazy to me is even with a licensed nurse there’s still a chance of injection going wrong they literally disclaim that so why when the percentage and control of where the product is going is even less with a hyaluronic pen get this service 😮

im sorry but putting a uv lamp up in my eye even if it is the "correct" type just doesnt seem safe either way. Its not like you can get new eyes if something goes wrong.

Isabella is awesome!! Definitely recommend checking out her other content too, have been subbed for a few years

With myopia and night blindness, I’m not risking my residual sight 😮 imma stick to strip lashes

I work with uv leds for my job (for water disinfection) but uv really isn’t something to play with. We have to wear safety glasses, cover our skin, and last week someone still got a sunburn from testing. Let’s not play with that, especially not by the eyes

i believe the medspa victim has done a great interview with doctor mike a few weeks ago, or it was a girl with the same kind of story, really sad that these things happen

im getting botox (a tiny amount between my eyebrows) and im going to a whole doctor with decades of experience, i would never ever let someone without a medical degree touch my face

Im sorry but if i hear the words "tech" and "atlanta" i am RUNNING the other way girl. They should change the name to Scamlanta

They need jail time

I love isabella's channel 😊💜💜

this whole video is making me stay forever "ugly" and happy for it (

crying at the facial reactions

I love watching you and Isabella
