A woman, with a hope to cut off excess body fats as prompted by her children's mockery; almost did not make it out of the slimming center alive after a horrifying 1 hour treatment process. Throughout the treatment, the staffs had assured her the whole procedure was safe and effective.
The 35-year-old had gone for a slimming treatment at the Geneva Face Body Spa Outlet in Ang Mo Kio Central on the 28th of October. The service, which involved the igniting an alcohol-soaked towel on her abdomen, costed a shocking $250.
Mdm Lee laid faced down with the towel on the abdomen, and was alarmed only until the employee started whipping out a lighter.
She stayed calm only when one of the employees asssured her that this was one of the professional preocedures they had mastered in order to help her to cut off her fats.
Her trust was nonetheless betrayed - the fire spread across the alcohol rapidly, leaving a long and severe burn welt injury on her abdomen. Instead of taking any apologetic actions, the employees could even remark: "Is it that painful?"
This incident should serve as a warning to those thinking about turning to artificial methods to slim down. It is age-old wisdom that one should do things the natural way, or pay a huge price. It is definitely a costly lesson for Mdm Lee never to trust artificial methods and services ever again, but a free lesson to us.
