Can You Perform Body Sculpting Over Illegal Polymer Injections?

The Serious Question Every Body Sculpting Professional Must Know

Hey Queens, ✨️

This is one of the most important questions to understand if you're working in the body contouring industry:

"Is it safe to use body sculpting machines over areas where someone has had illegal polymer injections?"

The answer is an absolute, unwavering NO.

And if you're serious about protecting your clients, your business, and your reputation, keep reading.

What Are Illegal Polymer Injections?

Illegal polymer injections are not your typical fillers or cosmetic enhancements. These substances are often injected by unlicensed individuals and include dangerous materials like:

Industrial-grade silicone

Liquid polymers

Mineral oils or other unknown foreign substances

In the past decade, these injections surged in popularity in places like Miami and have now made their way across the globe—including Australia.

These materials are NOT biocompatible, meaning they are not meant to be inside the human body. They can cause chronic problems that often don't surface until months or even years later.

Why Are Illegal Injections So Dangerous?

Illegal polymer injections pose long-term risks such as:

➡️ Permanent foreign material remaining in the body

➡️ Migration to other parts of the body

➡️ Chronic inflammation and pain

➡️ Formation of hard lumps (granulomas)

➡️ Risk of infection, abscesses, and even tissue necrosis

The damage is often invisible on the surface but catastrophic beneath the skin.

How Body Sculpting Treatments Can Make It Worse

Using machines like:

• Fat Cavitation (ultrasound vibration)

• Radio Frequency (RF heat)

• Vacuum RF or G5 Massage (pressure and suction)

• Lymphatic drainage devices

  
  

Can seriously aggravate the situation.

These treatments may:

• Aggravate the injection site

• Cause illegal materials to migrate to other tissues

• Trigger inflammation, swelling, and dangerous complications

Even if a client’s skin looks "normal," machines can activate hidden issues lying underneath, leading to permanent damage.

How To Handle Consultations Professionally

Professional consultation is your first line of protection — for you and for your client.

Always ask direct, clear questions:

✔️ "Have you had any injections in this area, even overseas or by someone who was not medically licensed?" ✔️ "Were any treatments done outside of a clinic or hospital setting?"

If there’s even a hint of uncertainty:

❌ Do not proceed.

❌ Refer the client to a qualified medical professional for proper evaluation.

Protect your business. Protect your license. Most importantly, protect your client’s health.

Why Choosing a Properly Trained Technician Matters

Sadly, many salons and technicians are not taught to ask about injection history. This puts clients at major risk.

✨ How to conduct safe consultations ✨ How to recognise red flags that others miss ✨ How to apply real safety protocols that protect you and your clients ✨ How to gain trust and position yourself as a true professional
