<p>In one of her video tutorials: “The Duchess” claims that <em>“It is so easy to do, and I am going to show you how to angle the needle and inject yourself, it is so exciting</em>”</p> <p>Wearing no gloves, and cleaning her face with a standard make-up wipe, the vlogger proceeds to push a needle into her skin, giggling in between with excitement.</p> <p>This week when The Safety in Beauty Campaign published a series of risky YouTube tutorials online on their campaign Facebook page, a string of industry experts, and public safety supporters slammed the practice as shocking:</p> <p>Nouf Skarsgard said: “N<em>o aspiration and injecting on a 2nd plane. Absolutely shocking. She’s on the right track for vascular occlusion of the angular artery.</em>"</p> <p>Naomi Jones was horrified and said: “<em>I couldn't watch it more than a minute!! Unbelievable ….that is all.</em>”</p> <p>Lorna Jackson stated: “<em>Speechless. So many things wrong and more wrong and even wronger!</em>”</p> <p>Lyn Anderson added: “<em>Change our skins’??? Her face is completely uneven, this is scary!!!</em>”</p> <p>Amba Morris concluded: “<em>Honestly why would you do this yourself scary how stupid some people are.</em>”</p> <p>The potential for disaster is real and serious.</p> <p>The risks of dermal fillers depend on who performs them and the type of filler used.</p> <p><strong>General risks of dermal fillers include:</strong></p> <ul> <li>Rashes, swelling, itching and bruising</li> <li>The <a href="/treatment/dermal-filler-injections/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">filler</a> may move away from the injected treatment area over time</li> <li>You may have an immediate allergic reaction to the filler, which can lead to anaphylaxis</li> <li>In rare cases, the filler may form lumps under the skin, which may need to be treated with surgery or medication</li> <li>In rare cases, the filler could block a blood vessel, which can lead to tissue death (necrosis), permanent blindness or a pulmonary embolism</li> <li>Anaphylaxis is a medical emergency, if you do make the ill-advised decision to inject yourself, make sure to call 999 immediately if you’re having a serious allergic reaction to the filler.
