THE WHAT? LVMH-owned Sephora has agreed to pay out US$1.2 million and agree to an injunction to settle a lawsuit that charges the beauty retailer with selling customers’ data without their consent, according to a report published by NBC News.
THE DETAILS The case is the first to conclude of a number of lawsuits testing California’s Consumer Privacy Act, which came into force in 2020.
Under the terms of the deal, Sephora is not required to admit liability or wrongdoing.
THE WHY? Attorney General Rob Bonta posted on Twitter, per NBC News, “We reached a settlement with Sephora for failing to disclose that it was selling consumer data, failing to honor requests to opt-out of sale, and failing to fix these violations. I hope this sends a message to businesses not complying with the CCPA.”
Injectable aesthetics are popular due to their ability to provide noticeable results with minimal downtime compared to surgical procedures. They are versatile and can be tailored to meet individual aesthetic goals, whether it's enhancing lips, restoring facial volume, or smoothing out wrinkles. However, they should always be administered by qualified professionals to ensure safety and achieve optimal results.
Injectable aesthetics are used to enhance facial features, reduce the signs of aging, and improve overall facial symmetry and appearance.
Key types of injectable aesthetics include:
-
Dermal Fillers: These injectables are used to add volume, fill in wrinkles and folds, and enhance facial contours. They often contain substances like hyaluronic acid, collagen, or calcium hydroxylapatite, which help plump up the skin and smooth out fine lines and wrinkles.
-
Botulinum Toxin (Botox): Botulinum toxin injections temporarily relax facial muscles that cause wrinkles and lines to form. It is commonly used to treat forehead lines, frown lines between the eyebrows, and crow's feet around the eyes.
-
Collagen Stimulators: These injectables stimulate the body's own collagen production, helping to improve skin texture and firmness over time. Examples include poly-L-lactic acid (Sculptra) and calcium hydroxylapatite (Radiesse).
-
Neurotoxin Injections: Besides Botox, other neurotoxins such as Dysport and Xeomin are used similarly to reduce wrinkles and lines.
