Skin Deep; The Business of Beauty

A recent episode of the new BBC3 programme Skin Deep; the Business of Beauty presented by Jessica Jane Clement of “I’m a Celebrity Get me out of Here” addressed the issue of the lack of regulation in the beauty industry.

The programme highlighted the experiences of two women who were injured as a result of poorly performed beauty treatment. One suffered scalp damage due to a hair weave whilst the other women suffered scarring as a result of a dermal piercing.

Traction alopecia can occur where a weave is performed to tightly then this can lead to the hair being pulled out of the scalp, pulling with it the scalp tissue. This can lead to permanent scarring which may result in the hair being unable to re-grow in these areas.
