Teenager Critical After Hair Straightening Treatment in Northern Israel
A 14-year-old girl from the Western Galilee region is in the pediatric intensive care unit at the Galilee Medical Center after undergoing a hair straightening treatment. She developed kidney dysfunction, and her condition is described as moderate.
Dr. Yoav Hoffman, director of the pediatric intensive care unit, warned of the health risks associated with hair straightening procedures and urged parents to avoid them. He emphasized that the treatment can lead to serious complications.
According to recommendations from the Ministry of Health, as reported by the medical center, hair straightening treatments should not be performed on individuals under the age of 16. For those over 16, it is crucial to ensure that the products used have Ministry of Health approval.
