Botched Wrinkle Treatment Leaves Woman With Horrific Facial Burns - They Are Butchers

A woman in Kahramanmaras, Turkey went in for a wrinkle-fixing appointment, and came out looking like the treatment went to war with her skin. Filiz Demet, 40, says the laser procedure was supposed to smooth her forehead, but it turned into a nightmare of burning pain, swelling, and pus oozing from her face.

What makes it extra ugly is how the whole thing was handled. Demet claims the beautician told her not to ask questions, warning that talking about the procedure would “send out bad energy.” She says she paid £261, got numbing cream, and then had a laser treatment called “Flexcr Laser,” only to watch the damage escalate after she got home.

Now Demet is taking legal action, and her warning is not subtle, they were “butchers.”

A woman, Filiz Demet, aged 40, underwent a wrinkle removal treatment at a clinic in Kahramanmaras, southeastern Turkey. However, instead of achieving the desired results, she was left with horrifying facial burns and pus oozing from her skin. Demet expressed her anguish, branding the practitioners as "butchers" as she endured not only pus pouring from her skin but also bleeding from her eyes.

The second she realized her forehead was reacting badly, Filiz Demet’s “baby skin” promise started sounding like a cruel joke.

Ms. Demet visited the clinic with the intention of addressing the wrinkles on her forehead.

The 40-year-old recounted that the beautician advised her not to inquire about the procedure to avoid "sending out bad energy."

Demet explained, "The specialist there informed me that filling is not a permanent solution and that the wrinkles on my forehead would reappear after six months. She proposed applying another method."

After the swelling and bruising showed up following the “Flexcr Laser,” the situation stopped being cosmetic and started turning into something much worse.

It’s the same kind of “pet sitting gone wrong” conflict as the friend whose negligence sent a cat to the emergency vet, then demanded reimbursement.

"I inquired about the method she mentioned, but she insisted that telling me would only lead to worry and negative energy being spread into the universe," Ms. Demet recalled. "So, she refrained from disclosing the method but assured me that my face would resemble baby skin."

Ms. Demet, who paid £261 for the procedure, stated that the beautician applied a numbing cream to her face and proceeded with a laser treatment called "Flexcr Laser."

Following the procedure, Ms. Demet noted swelling and bruising on her face.

Then Demet went from searing facial pain to describing pus streaming from her skin and even blood seeping from her swollen eyes.

After returning home, Ms. Demet's ordeal escalated as her facial discomfort intensified. She described a searing sensation engulfing her face, accompanied by a distressing sight: pus streaming from her skin and even blood seeping from her swollen eyes.

With her work now impossible and her £261 payment still hanging over everything, she’s moving forward with a lawyer to hold the salon accountable.

The severity of her injuries has rendered Ms. Demet incapable of carrying out her work responsibilities. In response to this devastating turn of events, she has taken the decisive step of seeking legal recourse. Engaging the services of a lawyer, she is determined to hold the salon accountable for the botched treatment.

In a poignant reflection on her experience, Ms. Demet issues a stern warning to her fellow residents. With a heavy heart, she advises against patronizing beauty centers in the city, drawing from her own unfortunate encounters.

Her words carry the weight of bitter experience as she asserts, "They are not specialists; they are butchers." This cautionary message underscores the profound impact of her harrowing journey, serving as a cautionary tale for others.

Filiz Demet didn’t just lose a wrinkle treatment, she lost control of her own face.
