- Nowadays, cosmetic applications and medical devices that
promise to improve the skin problems are popular and
widely used and some of them are easily accessed due
to the lack of government regulations in some countries.
Peeling skin with a jet stream (shortly named as jetpeeling)
is a new technology for cosmetic resurfacing and
deep cleansing of the skin. It is reported as a safe and
effective tool for the usual indications for facial peeling
such as resurfacing, wrinkles, scars, and acne treatment
[1]. Indications of jet-peeling are also developing, such as
delivering antiseptic and anesthetic solutions to the deeper
layers of skin [2]. However, increased and unauthorized use
of such emerging technologies may also lead to increases
in unexpected results and complications as well. Infectious
complications after cosmetic procedures by unauthorized
persons are commonly reported [3–5]. To the best of our
literature search, facial cellulitis developing after a session
of jet-peeling has not been reported previously. The aim of
reporting this case is to draw attention to the possible complications
which might be caused by the misuse of cosmetic
devices.
