Multiple Cosmetic Procedures Carry Both Benefits And Risks

Cosmetic treatments are procedures people use to change or improve how their skin looks.

Botox relaxes some muscles, while fillers add volume under the skin.

Profhilo is meant to improve hydration, and microneedling helps stimulate collagen.

Lasers can treat concerns such as pigmentation or acne scars.

These treatments can have side effects like swelling, redness, bruising or tenderness.

Using too much filler or Botox may make the face look uneven or less natural.

Microneedling and lasers can also cause problems if they are done incorrectly.

Uorfi Javed said removing her lip fillers was very painful.

Doctors should carefully plan these procedures and explain their risks before treatment.
