Rospotrebnadzor made recommendations when visiting beauty salons to pay attention to the observance of hygiene standards and what kind of cosmetics they use there, RIA Novosti reported, citing the press service of the department.
In particular, how the instruments are disinfected and sterilized, whether the masters wash their hands with soap, and whether they lay disposable underwear for each client.
The correspondent of "VM" interviewed cosmetologists and experts of the "beautiful" business to find out how to get the most out of visiting a beauty salon and not go broke.
Mikhail Kuznetsov, head of a consulting company that helps beauty salons build their business, said that now there are five positions in the rating of the most popular and demanded services: epilation, massage, nails, mesotherapy, peeling, and recently the permanent eyebrow tattoo has become very popular., eyelashes.
- Any procedure consists of two things: hardware technology and a person. If everything is more or less clear with the apparatus, then the quality of a person's services is more difficult to determine. Therefore, first of all, take an interest in education and work experience, and look at the reviews on the Internet. If hardware manipulations are carried out, then ask if there are licenses, although this is not a guarantee of quality.
In general, it should be alarming if the salon gives a lot of advertising, while the salon is not new, then you need to think - good things are not advertised, which means that customers do not stay late. Also, if salons sit on coupon sites, you also need to think about it.
But on the positive side - pay attention to whether the employees of the salon have certificates and diplomas of participants and winners of competitions. Not a qualification improvement diploma, but competitions. If there is, this is a positive point. This means that the salons care about the professional growth of their employees.
The expert also answered the question of whether a massage can cost 600 rubles.
- It depends on what kind of massage. If there is a foot massage, then maybe, but the whole figure is not, - the specialist explains. - Good specialists value themselves. And such amounts do not pay off for the salon and the specialist, even with a large flow.
Also, an expert in the business of beauty salons advised to closely monitor that permanent tattooing is done with disposable games and syringes.
And best of all, the business coach noted, before signing up for a complex peeling or mesotherapy, come to the master for a small procedure - eyebrows, face massage, see how it works, if you liked everything, then you can come to a more serious process.
One of the most effective, but also serious procedures is mesotherapy. Done incorrectly, it can lead to very sad consequences, and the right one can completely solve the problem.
According to unconfirmed reports, Ukrainian politician Viktor Yushchenko was not poisoned, but experienced the consequences of unsuccessful mesotherapy.
Alexandra Gont, a dermatologist with 20 years of experience, a member of the Russian Society of Medical Aesthetics and Mesotherapy, a member of the French Society of Anti-age Physicians, told what mesotherapy is about, how to perform it safely and with high quality.
Our skin has protective properties and not all products can pass through itself when applied to the epidermis. Back in the 50s, a technique was developed when special nutritious cocktails are applied with the help of small needles perforating the epidermis.
The most popular are mesotherapy procedures to combat excess body fat.
But initially a doctor should conduct a survey, since some people may have contraindications for this cocktail. If we talk about drainage and weight loss, then there are contraindications in the form of stones in the gallbladder and other diseases. If this is not genetic obesity and not a severe neglected degree, then from the second, third procedure, people see the result. It is important - when we talk about body shaping procedures, drainage manipulations are first performed to open peripheral vessels, and then lipolytics are injected. This should be done unambiguously by a doctor who collects anamnesis and monitors.
The second most popular mesotherapy procedure is hair loss treatment. Special cocktails are injected into the scalp. And mesotherapeutic cocktails for the onset of androgenic alopecia, when, under the control of an endocrinologist, are introduced into the hairy part to stimulate and grow follicles.
- The results are very good, I have been practicing this technique for 20 years and I can say that if there are no atrophied follicles, if the bald spot is not like a smooth knee, then in 2-3 months you can awaken these follicles and grow young growth. Sometimes I prescribe tests before choosing a cocktail, - said the beautician.
Also very popular are rejuvenating, anti-aging procedures when preparations based on hyaluronic acid, vitamins, and a peptide complex are introduced.
Mesotherapy can actively treat acne - in combination with other procedures, start at the age of 13-14. But the main indications for mesotherapy are after 35 years.
It is better for a doctor to do the injections, although by law, nurses can do it. But it happens that nurses, when faced with redness, allergic reactions after the procedure, panic and do not know what to do, because there is not enough knowledge, there is no comprehensive medical education.
Take the same peptides - they are not shown to everyone, there are contraindications for the administration of peptide cocktails, although they are very effective.
As for the cost, how not to overpay - the best cocktails come from France, there are good Spanish, Swiss, Luxembourgish products, Italian hyaluron. All of them must be certified on the territory of the Russian Federation. And the needles that the doctor uses are very important. There are cheap needles, but there are Japanese laser-sharpened needles that penetrate the skin almost painlessly. On average, a mesotherapy procedure costs from 5 to 7.5 thousand rubles per procedure.
In time, the surface treatment of the face and head lasts 15 minutes. And the body - from half an hour.
- You have to understand that it is in this procedure that the price determines the quality, and you cannot save money here. Otherwise, the complications will be more serious than the problem with which you consulted a doctor. This is an allergic reaction, edema, post-traumatic pigmentation up to a rough scar, which can then be treated for many years, the doctor explained.
Do not skimp on yourself, check everything carefully and refuse the session if something did not like you or aroused suspicion, the experts advised the readers of "VM".
