Horrified woman left ‘looking like a lizard’ after botched procedure

Jayne Bowman, 59, paid £500 to have a fibroblast therapy treatment to tighten the skin on her neck - but it didn't go to plan.

A woman has claimed that her neck was left looking like a ‘lizard’ after a botched cosmetic procedure.

Hampshire-based Jayne Bowman, 59, paid £500 to have a fibroblast therapy treatment to tighten the skin on her neck.

The procedure sees a device zap a high-frequency electric current through the skin to encourage tissue regeneration.

But instead of tissue regeneration, Jayne was initially left with hundreds of red blotches and scars after getting the treatment from a beautician she found on Facebook.

While the dots eventually faded, the experience proved an ordeal for Jayne, who wants to spread the word and is now calling for more regulations around the procedure.

Jane said: "I don't go out without a scarf on. In fact I don't like going out at all, I'd rather go out in the rain where I've got a hood up and nobody can see me.

"I'm not slating all beauticians because they're not all the same, but there are many of them out there that are bad. Stick to professional people.”

Jane looked up cosmetic procedures after a diet left her but an 'ugly double chin' and appealed on Facebook for help.

Soon after, a message popped up from a beauty therapist suggesting she get a treatment called 'fibroblast plasma'.

Jane said: "I checked out her page and saw she had great reviews and all the qualifications. But when I got home my neck felt like it was on fire.

"Weeks later there was no change at all apart from horrible scarring. I had hundreds of brow dots all over my chest and chest. I looked like a lizard!"

Jayne wanted to tighten the skin of her neck following a diet, pictured before her treatment.

"All I was left with was unsightly red dots all over my neck. I couldn't bear going out of the house because of the awful scarring.”

Jayne, who grew up in Mountain Ash, South Wales, but now lives in Hampshire, spoke to a solicitor but they couldn't get any further with her.

She said: "Now I am fighting hard and have even launched a petition calling for much stricter regulations in the beauty industry.

"I am not after money, I just want justice for being butchered at the beauticians. It honestly has been a living nightmare and I am living with the scars to prove it."

A Department of Health and Social Care spokesperson said: “Anyone considering a cosmetic procedure should take the time to find a reputable, safe and qualified practitioner and consider the potential impact of surgery on both their physical and mental health.

“Patient safety must always come first, which is why we are considering whether there needs to be more clarity around how treatments are classified and stronger, more robust safeguards for the regulation of providers of these treatments.”
