A Hong Kong resident identified as Ms. Zhang is facing a health crisis after undergoing a microneedling procedure at a beauty center.
The woman was seeking flawless skin for her wedding photos, but the use of an electric device caused pus-filled lesions and severe inflammation on her neck and face. The symptoms worsened to the point of affecting her vision and making it difficult for her to breathe, forcing her to cancel her planned trip to Japan.
After spending nearly $1,285 on emergency medical care, the beauty salon is refusing to cover the full extent of the damages caused. The victim is currently wearing masks to hide the physical aftermath.
