Who knew that there might be risks from injecting pieces of other people's bodies into your own?

It's (supposed to be) their own, not someone else's. The place was reusing needles and whatnot.

Well, it's supposed to be injecting bits of your own body. But when the place doesn't even own an autoclave and reuses disposable equipment, I suppose you get what you pay for.

  Oh, that makes much more sense, I misunderstood the description of the procedure. Edit: But it still sounds like an insane thing to do.

    Then there is the whole thing about the procedure having no effect anyway which is easy to find out.

Someone gets sick, they close and re-hire under a new proprietor. The practices clean up for awhile, until they aren't.

  Do you think the staff making minimum wage (or less) at a salon are qualified to do that? Is this a regulated industry with certification for these treatments? Genuinely asking because I barely feel comfortable having my blood drawn at an actual medical lab by a random worker.
