Beauty must be done properly, in the right place.

Many women watch and beautify themselves following the advertisements, introductions, and reviews on social networks... but they do not see any beauty, and some have to be hospitalized to deal with the consequences. Dermatologists warn that beautifying according to social networks can cause serious harm to the skin and health, even leaving long-term consequences.

The reporter presented at the conference.

Speaking at the 2025 National Dermatology Conference and the 3rd Dermatology Research Conference in Hoi An, Da Nang City from November 13-15, dermatologists warned that in the context of social networks being flooded with false information, people must be more alert and not become real victims of virtual information.

Skin peeling is a method of treating skin diseases or rejuvenating the skin by applying peeling substances (mostly acids or enzymes) to the layers of the skin, especially the epidermis and part of the dermis, to help regenerate the structure of these layers to improve pathological conditions (pigmentation, acne, scars, etc.) or rejuvenate the skin.

When such an impact process will cause damage to the layers of the epidermis and dermis and it takes time for these layers to regenerate and recover completely. Therefore, depending on the needs and characteristics of the peel, the dermatologist will give a different time schedule and interval between each time.

When saying that the more you peel, the faster you rejuvenate, it is both true and false, because this "more" requires close control by a dermatologist, must assess the skin condition before each peel, create a suitable regimen and monitor unwanted effects, anticipate risks, even peeling at home, you need to have a proper examination and prescription along with proper instructions and management from a dermatologist to get good results. The risks that occur when doing it yourself, not following the instructions of a dermatologist are: skin is easily irritated, sensitive, hyperpigmented and can form scars if the depth of peeling is not controlled.

Doctors also warn that the current trend of quick beauty treatments is becoming a trend that can easily lead to potential risks due to improper use of beauty methods, excessive use, and use by people who are not doctors, which can easily cause accidents and unwanted side effects, even endangering life and causing permanent disabilities such as blindness.

Therefore, before deciding to choose a quick beauty method, consider carefully because beauty needs to respect naturalness and safety; you need to go to a specialized facility, by specialized doctors to be carefully advised on the benefits and harms and unwanted effects.

Before the "wave" of advertising for quick beauty treatments using skin whitening, PRP, and algae implants. Dermatologists say that quick beauty treatments all have risks, including procedures that have scientific evidence, while others do not have or do not have enough evidence of safety. Therefore, if you want to do quick beauty treatments, you need to go to a dermatology clinic for examination and consultation before doing it to avoid risks when doing it.

Dr. Pham Thi Minh Phuong, Deputy Director of the Central Dermatology Hospital at the 2025 National Dermatology Conference and the 3rd Dermatology Research Conference.

During her daily medical examinations, Dr. Pham Thi Minh Phuong, Deputy Director of the Central Dermatology Hospital, encountered many patients who came to the hospital with serious injuries after following beauty tips spread online.

Patients often experience complications after self-rolling needles at home or doing it at a facility that does not guarantee quality, peeling skin with chemicals bought online; there are cases of skin whitening infusions, injecting fillers of unknown origin or applying corticosteroids according to "TikTok reviews"....

“Worryingly, many people believe that following online tips is both cheap and effective. When the skin is severely damaged, it is often too late to go to the hospital, and treatment is long and expensive,” warned Dr. Pham Thi Minh Phuong. Therefore, people should absolutely not do any invasive procedures at home or buy medicine according to online instructions. When the skin shows signs of irritation, redness, itching or infection, people should go to a reputable medical facility for an early examination.

Dr. Phuong also noted the trend of using “organic-handmade-natural” products. This is a common misconception. Handmade products are often not microbiologically tested, have unknown ingredients, and cannot control pH or preservatives, so they are susceptible to bacterial and fungal infections and contact dermatitis. Some natural extracts are even more likely to cause allergies than products manufactured according to medical standards. Therefore, people should only choose products with declared quality, carefully check labels, ingredients, expiration dates, avoid floating products, products of unknown origin... And should not absolutely believe advertisements “100% organic, no preservatives”.

Dr. Vu Thai Ha, Head of the Department of Research and Application of Stem Cell Technology, Central Dermatology Hospital, said that the trend of rapid beauty treatments using fillers and lasers contains many risks if abused or performed by non-professionals. Improper application, excessive use or entrusting the skin to non-doctors can lead to serious complications, even permanent disabilities such as blindness. Therefore, before deciding to perform the procedure, it is necessary to be fully advised of the benefits and possible risks and should be performed at reputable facilities. However, no matter which beauty method is chosen, people need to be evaluated and consulted by a specialist before proceeding to avoid unfortunate risks. Any intervention on the skin, no matter how small, must be based on science and performed by a professional.
