Oncologist and chemotherapist Andrey Bazylev named cosmetic procedures that can be unsafe if abused. Otherwise, such a departure can lead to cancer, writes Channel Five.
If we talk about procedures related to hair, then frequent straightening is dangerous, since preparations for it contain formaldehyde. The most careful thing is to be masters, since straightening more than eight times a month is unhealthy. Contrary to rumors, ordinary hair coloring does not carry any oncological risks – carcinogens are no longer added to the dyes.
Among cosmetic preparations, those containing dioxane should be avoided. This substance can provoke various endocrine disorders in the body, which can cause the development of cancer. Botulinum toxin injections have been shown to be safe and risk-free.
Bazylev also added that the UV nail lamp, which is used for manicure, can provoke skin cancer if used frequently. However, for this it must be applied more than 10-15 times a month.
