"Hey there, peeps! 👋️ Let's chat about skin treatments, shall we? Cause, you know, it's became like, a big deal lately, right? 💉

We've seen it on ads, Instagram, our favorite celebs, everyone's trying to achieve that flawless, wrinkle-free, plump-lipped look 🌸 And who could blame 'em? But honey, hang on a sec! That journey might not be as smooth as it seems.

That's why, your Hamburg school authorities, with an 📣 loud and clear message, are saying: 'Nope, not all hands touch your skin equally!' 🙌 Our friends at Hamburg Police asked them to spread the word, so young'uns stay aware of the risks and make informed decisions.

Their Instagram post tells us that non-medical staff doing hyaluronic acid injections (not just for smoother skin but those fuller lips too) is a rising trend. But here's the deal: improper procedures can lead to some nasty consequences 🙅‍♀️ like infections, inflammation, allergic reactions, bulges, bumps, and, in the worst-case scenario, vascular occlusion. Spoiler alert, that could mean dead tissue and even loss of vision or blindness! 😨

The school authorities are hoping to spark a discussion about how these trends contribute to perfectionist beauty standards and can push young folk to undergo unnecessary procedures. 🤔

You might be thinking, 'But what about all those filtered cheekbones and perfect lips on Instagram?' Well, a young woman in the Instagram post warns that these procedures should ONLY be managed by qualified medical professionals.

Wanna dive deeper? Check out the Jugendserver Hamburg Instagram account where they've shared a post about the potential dangers and the importance of getting hyaluronic acid injections from medical pros. 🔎

And keep this in mind: if you're DTG (drawn to greatness) and wish to look your best, be informed and safe about what you choose to do. Don't let the 'gram glamour blind you to the real costs. 🧪

Lastly, the 'gram isn't always the reality! Remember that beauty comes in all shapes, sizes, and skin types. Be proud and love your own unique look! 🌟❤️

Non-medical hyaluronic acid injections can pose serious risks, including vascular occlusions, infections, allergic reactions, scarring, and vision loss. The US Food & Drug Administration specifically warns against needle-free devices for filler injections due to the high risk of serious injuries and permanent harm. By properly educating young people, schools aim to prevent these dangerous and potentially irreversible procedures."
