Online presence exhibits a concerning pattern.

In a recent development, a Belarusian blogger has sparked a heated debate online about the legality and safety of beauty injections in the country. The blogger, concerned about the trend of unqualified specialists administering botox and other cosmetic procedures, raised questions about finding legal cosmetologists for such treatments.

The blogger's concerns stem from several observations. For instance, there have been reports of unlicensed practitioners offering free lip augmentation and performing injection procedures without the necessary qualifications. These unqualified specialists may use drugs of unknown quality, as they are not officially supplied, posing a significant risk to the health and safety of those seeking these treatments.

The blogger also noted the worrying trend of specialists without higher medical education performing beauty injections, which is illegal in Belarus. In the country, only cosmetologists with a diploma in "General Medicine" or "Pediatrics" and an active certificate in "Dermatovenereology" or "Cosmetology" are legally permitted to perform beauty injections.

The blogger consulted an expert to understand the correct procedure for beauty injections. According to the expert, a qualified cosmetologist should have the necessary qualifications and a medical prescription for the procedure. In Belarus, a specialist with a secondary medical education can perform injections or draw blood, but only with a doctor's prescription and under supervision.

The blogger's post sparked a series of comments, with some thanking the blogger for bringing up the issue and others making light of the situation. However, the debate has shed light on the importance of ensuring that beauty treatments are performed by qualified professionals using high-quality products such as hyaluronic acid and botulinum toxin. These products are expensive, making the procedures costly, but the risk of using substandard products or unqualified practitioners is not worth the savings.

The blogger's post serves as a reminder to all to prioritise safety and legality when seeking beauty treatments. It is crucial to research the qualifications of the practitioner and the facility where the procedures are performed. Only licensed facilities with a license for medical activities should be considered for such treatments. By doing so, we can ensure that we are in safe hands and are receiving the best possible care.
