A PROFESSIONAL’S PERSPECTIVE
Dr. Stephanie Ho, a specialist neurologist who runs her own office at Scotts Medical Centre, is aware of the appeal of these home-based companies.
These companies make it easy for clients because the treatments can be done in a private environment and may fit their schedules.
According to Dr. Ho, a skin expert with more than 25 years of medical knowledge, this reduces travel and simplifies transportation.  ,
She continued,” Home-based treatments typically cost less than what people will pay in hospitals because of the high rental costs of commercial spaces.”
They could possibly customize their treatments to more in-depth specifications, such as applying one treatment to the mouth to the eye area while applying another remedy to the scalp, Dr. Ho suggested.  ,
Putting off the advantages, there are a number of potential risks that need to be addressed.
According to reports in the media, some home health professionals may use illegal substances like unapproved injectables, illegal laser procedures, fake Botox injections, or unconfirmed skin-lightening products, according to Dr. Ho.  ,
Home-based experts are less likely to have seen proper and thorough training and certification, which can lead to poor methods and uncomfortable processes, she continued.  ,
Such processes could result in serious complications like burns, swelling, infections, or suboptimal outcomes.
She added that home businesses do not face rigid industry regulations. Tools and instruments may not be properly cleaned, increasing the chance of cross-contamination, infections, and skin reactions.
Home-based settings may not have the appropriate medical tools or trained staff to handle allergic reactions, burn, or other difficulties, in contrast to specialized facilities.
Because of the lack of professional liability insurance, buyers may not have many options when something goes bad.
Even in the most improperly lit or ventilated areas of the house, it might not always be suitable for professional techniques.
While using home-based beauty treatments, clients should be careful with health, solution safety, and practitioner credentials to ensure safe and competent treatments, according to Dr. Ho.  ,
