Crypotherapy
This treatment, which submerges your body in a minus-200-degree-plus chamber for 3 minutes, is said to promote weight loss and relieve sore muscles. The FDA released a statement confirming that they do not back the treatment and added, “We found very little evidence about its safety or effectiveness in treating the conditions for which it is being promoted.”
Waist training
Celebrities like Jessica Alba and the Kardashians love rocking fajas, but exagerrated long-term use can cause "crushed organs, compressed lungs, and fractured ribs," according to Dr. Christopher Ochner.
Brazilian blowout
The FDA has warned against this beauty treatment since it contains formaldehyde, a chemical which can cause damage to your system once inhaled.
Laser hair removal
Everyone wants to be hairless nowadays. The issue is that during these treatments, dangerous chemicals are released into the air. The fine particles and chemicals can cause health problems long after you leave the clinic.
Botox
According to Mayo Clinic, a bad Botox job can cause a crooked smile, drooling, headache or flu-like symptoms. Eek!
Lip treatment
Kylie Jenner is known for her lip injections, but it's important to know that not everyone is a candidate. It can also cause facial nerve disorders and bleeding disorders.
Eyelash extensions
This is also a very popular treatment in Hollywood, but watch out. The glue used to hold the eyelashes contains formaldehyde in it. If you're allergic, it can cause major swelling and even blurred vision.
