“Vulnerable” cosmetic procedure patients are being taken advantage of and “getting anything that’s recommended to them,” a clinical psychologist has warned.
“They’re seen as being these quick and easy low-risk treatments… [but] the research tells us that body dysmorphic disorder and other mental health issues are much higher prevalence in people seeking non-surgical cosmetic procedures,” Pikoos said.Patients that have had Botox treatments claim they’ve been “medically gaslit” after receiving the treatment, and told the side effects were normal, according to the outlet.
“Mental health screening needs to be mandatory for all procedures,” Pikoos said. “I’ve seen lots of clients who have had really bad experiences with anti-wrinkle injections and fillers, who were really vulnerable at the time that they went to go to a clinic.”
