You’ll have probably seen promotions for road traffic accidents solicitors and accidents at work claims. However, did you know there are specialist solicitors who can help you with beauty salon negligence claims?
The beauty industry is a fast-growing sector, contributing billions of pounds worth of products and services to the UK’s economy. The beauty treatments you can access cover a broad range of services, from laser hair removal and eyebrow tattooing to dermal fillers and chemical peels. Many of us regularly visit our local beauty salon for a variety of treatments to look and feel better about ourselves. However, there are always risks that come with putting ourselves in the care of others.
Unfortunately, there are situations which could lead us to receive a beauty treatment injury, leading to pain and suffering, physical damage and a loss of confidence. These types of injuries occur more than you would think, whether it’s a chemical burn, you’ve suffered an allergic reaction to a tint, or the results are poor. If this has happened to you, you may wish to get in touch with solicitors or lawyers specialising in beauty treatment injuries.
When visiting a beauty salon, treatments will often be carried out using methods which involve some form of risk. This includes the use of high temperatures, chemicals, dangerous equipment or invasive techniques such as those used for eyebrow tattoos. Unfortunately, much of the beauty industry is still unregulated, which means health and safety standards can vary from salon to salon, and the chance of negligence is higher than in regulated industries.
If your beauty therapist doesn’t have the right training or experience to perform the treatment, there is a serious risk of personal injury to the client. This could occur through a lack of information about possible side effects, ineffective consultations, improper use of equipment or a failure to perform a patch test.
Beauty treatment injuries occurring to the skin and hair can be very distressing and painful, and could take a long time to heal. Just like those who experience an avoidable injury in a healthcare setting may put in medical negligence claims, you can also sue a beauty salon if they’ve caused you harm due to negligence.
However, it’s always important to receive legal advice about your case, giving you a better idea about your chances of winning your beauty treatment compensation claim.
There are many different types of beauty accident claims thanks to the broad range of beauty treatments and cosmetic surgery services available and the various accidents that could occur from these. Common injuries caused by beauty treatments include allergic reactions, burns, scars, infections, blood-borne diseases, blisters, cuts and bleeding, disfiguration, hair loss, sight loss and psychological trauma. Take a look at more information below.
Many beauty treatments use products containing potentially harmful chemicals to get the desired effect. However, this comes with risks to the skin, eyes and mouth. A chemical burn injury can range from superficial to severe, with symptoms including redness, irritation and burning at the site of contact. This type of injury can be serious if not treated, and a medical professional will assess the extent of the injury and treatment plan.
Some of the most common beauty treatments that could result in this type of burn include those which use hydrogen peroxide, sodium peroxide or ammonia, found in many types of hair dye or hair treatments. If you’ve suffered a burn injury after this kind of treatment, contact our team.
Dermal fillers involve a cosmetic procedure that injects fillers into the face. The aim of the beauty treatment is to add volume to specific areas such as the cheeks while filling out wrinkles and smoothing fine lines. If things go wrong, the consequences could be severe, including infections, lumps under the skin, displacement of the filler and scarring. There have even been cases of the dermal fillers blocking facial blood vessels, causing permanent blindness. If there was any negligence from the beauty practitioner, we could help you make a claim.
Lip fillers use hyaluronic acid injections to give fuller, plumper lips. However, there are risks involved, and negligent practice could result in severe injuries, such as infections, scarring and allergic reactions. The way they look may also cause distress, including irregularities, lumps and differences between the lips. If you think you’ve had a poor experience due to beauty therapist negligence, get in touch for claims advice.
Botox is a drug made from a toxin that’s used to help temporarily smooth fine lines and wrinkles with the injections usually given around the eyes and eyebrows. It can also be injected in other areas of the body, including the jaw, neck and armpits. While this is a highly popular treatment, things can go wrong, leading to issues with eating and breathing or even facial disfigurement. If you think you have a claim, contact our team.
Microdermabrasion such as Bloomea treatments use a device with an abrasive surface to renew facial skin tone and texture, exfoliating with tiny crystals sprayed on the surface. While it’s considered a non-invasive cosmetic procedure, accidents and injuries can occur. The risks of this are increased if there is inadequate safety precautions in place, improper handling of the microdermabrasion device, lack of hygiene or the incorrect setting is used for the client’s skin. This could result in eye injuries, hyperpigmentation of the skin, pain or infections. If you think you have a claim, contact our team.
Gaining the perfect eyebrows is something many people strive for with the beauty sector seeing a rise in semi-permanent treatments such as microblading. This treatment uses a tattooing technique to add coloured pigment to the skin using a fine needle. While often a semi-permanent makeup treatment, permanent scarring to the skin, serious infections and poor quality outcomes could occur if the beauty professional doesn’t have the right training. Some clients also suffer an allergic reaction to the pigment. Eyebrow tattoos could also be completely different on both sides, which is embarrassing and distressing for the client. If you think you have a claim, contact our team.
When any type of chemical product is used such as hot waxing, hair dye treatments or eyelash tinting, a patch test should be carried out. While most beauty professionals understand the importance of this, it’s not always completed, failing to detect if a client is likely to have an allergic reaction to the dye, wax or tint. This could result in severe skin reactions. With eyebrow and eyelash tinting, it could even result in the areas swelling up and becoming infected. If you’ve suffered a beauty salon injury after a patch test should have been carried out, you could claim compensation.
Some of the other common types of beauty salon accident claims include:
Always seek medical help as soon as possible if you’ve suffered injuries caused by a beauty treatment. However, to help support any case for injury compensation claims, you could:
If you’re claiming special damages after beauty treatments have gone wrong, you’ll probably want to know how much injury compensation you could secure. If your beauty treatment negligence lawyer thinks your case will be successful, you can often receive between £3,000 to £9,000 for a moderate injury, but this figure could be £90,000 or above if your injuries are permanent. However, it’s not as easy as using a claims compensation calculator – your case must be reviewed by an expert to give you a better idea about how much you could receive.
