People want to become more beautiful and younger are easily allured by cosmetic procedures and treatments services.  There are a few advice provided by NSW Fair Trading when it comes to purchasing the beauty service;
•    seek advice from a health practitioner such as your GP
•    ask about the qualifications, training and experience of the person who will perform the procedure or treatment.
•    check that the facility is clean and hygienic.
•    check that the provider is complying with any applicable Codes of Conduct.
•    dramatically cheaper estimates could indicate that the products are counterfeit or non-registered Australian medicines

It is also recommended to be aware of special offers, sales pitches, false and misleading advertising.
