Popular social media personality and self-acclaimed online police, VDM, has called out CreamyDove-Medspa, an online beauty/cosmetics brand, for alleged sham dealing, malpractice and unprofessional conduct, stirring a tide of concern among netizens.
The intervention of VDM came after a client’s acne treatment at the CreamyDove_medspa went horribly wrong. The client, seeking a chemical peel, ended up with facial burns and further skin damage. Instead of taking responsibility, the beautician reportedly dismissed the client’s concerns, saying “it’s not my fault and I cannot do anything about it”, leaving the lady with no recourse.
This incident has reignited the debate about the prevalence of unqualified practitioners in the cosmetics and beauty industry. As VDM pointed out, many of these businesses lack the necessary certifications and registrations and thus poses a significant risk to unsuspecting clients.
In reaction, netizens stated,
“These people need to do better with their services. Someone complained like that to you, and you still had the guts to tell her it’s normal after what you did? That’s very wrong.” This comment highlights the lack of accountability and empathy often displayed by such establishments.
“Instead of going to a dermatologist, she chose to go meet a fake Chemical Engineer 😂” This underlines the importance of seeking treatment from qualified medical professionals, like dermatologists, rather than relying on self-proclaimed medics on social media.
“Nigerians always prefer to see quãcks than seeing a professional. She can’t do anything because she’s not a doctor.” This observation sadly reflects the tendency to prioritize cost or convenience over expertise, often with disastrous results.
The incident serves as a serious reminder of the need for stricter regulations and greater consumer awareness in the beauty industry and other brands. Before undergoing any cosmetic procedure, it’s crucial to thoroughly research the practitioner’s qualifications and experience. Don’t let the allure of online glam overshadow the importance of safety and professionalism.
