Two-thirds of Britons are at risk of an intimate resin injury.
Around 60 per cent of those who have been regularly do not know whether their therapist has statutory qualification or liability insurance, according to a survey of 1,000 British women.
Just under 65 percent are unaware of what products are being used on their skin, while less than half receive no aftercare advice.
Experts say practitioners with a Level 2 NVQ or equivalent in beauty therapy have received basic safety training.

Rebecca Crawford, founder of Salon Rated, which carried out the study, said: “Unfortunately, cutting corners and using cheap, harmful products has become the norm for some salons in the UK.”

Early babies fight at school
Babies born prematurely are more likely to have problems when they start school.
A study suggests that teenagers born before the age of seven months score lower on math and language tests than teenagers who come of age.
However, the study, which analyzed the educational data of more than 1.2 million Danish teenagers, found no major difference in overall intelligence.
The NHS considers children born before the 37th week of pregnancy to be premature – around eight in 100 newborns.

We share many things with the people we live with, including the bacteria in our mouths.
Scientists from the University of Trento in Italy examined organisms in the saliva of people living in the same households and found that a third of oral bacterial strains are shared among people who live together.
This trend was evident regardless of whether the relationship between roommates was romantic or not. In contrast, only 3 percent of oral bacteria were the same among those who did not live under the same roof.
According to researcher Professor Nicola Segata, the results show how common it is to share bacteria with others and suggest that transmission occurs through people inhaling the same spores that linger in the air.
Two aspirins a day can be as effective as blood thinning injections in preventing fatal complications in fracture patients.
About one in 100 broken bones can cause life-threatening blood clots, so hospitalized patients are given injectable blood thinners to reduce this risk.
Scientists from the University of Maryland enrolled 12,000 people who had suffered a serious fracture of their leg, arm or pelvis. After 90 days of medication, there was no difference in the number of blood clots between patients receiving aspirin versus blood thinning injections.
