JOIN THE CLUB

Meet Clean Skin Club

Clean Skin Club is a fast-growing company with a strong presence in the industry thanks to their original creation, the Clean Towels. The company was founded in 2019 and quickly found a strong market through social media. It was not long before the product gained popularity in the professional skincare industry with aestheticians and dermatologists. 

DANGEROUS METHODS

ASDSA Members Discover Youths Self-Injecting Filler

The American Society for Dermatologic Surgery Association (ASDSA) altered the public’s view about children buying and using hyaluron pens to inject hyaluronic acid filler into the epidermal and upper dermal layers of the skin. 

ASDSA member Sandra Lee, MD shared, “TikTok is proving to be an extremely powerful platform to communicate, entertain, and educate, which is why many physicians are getting involved and finding success there. Unfortunately, just like the internet, there is misinformation,and this is where the danger lies. It is very concerning to see young people posting a how-to on injecting their own lips with hyaluronic acid serum using an airgun pen, (similar to a BB gun) which pushes the product under the skin. So many things can go wrong.”

ASDSA has contacted the United States Food and Drug Administration with its safety concerns and hopes to work together on keeping medical devices in the hands of trained and properly educated medical professionals. Additionally, ASDSA is alerting state medical and aestheticians boards regarding these patient safety concerns and alerting consumers directly about the risks through social media and other education materials.
