EXCLUSIVE: Bradford’s Farnaz Khan decided to get a plasma treatment to help her stressed skin. Unfortunately, he didn’t go as planned because he got third-degree burns.
In a skin treatment gone awry, a Bradford woman suffered third-degree burns to her face that doctors told her she could go blind.
When Farnaz Khan’s father Hadayat suffered a stroke in 2016 at the age of 61, the resulting stress caused him to develop acne and hyperpigmentation.
Farnaz spoke to a doctor and recommended plasma treatment that she hoped would clear her skin, but she was hospitalized after suffering third-degree burns.
She spoke exclusively of the emotional toll the burns took on her.
To make matters worse, strangers stared at her every time she left the house.
“I was very depressed, my mother cried when she saw my face. I’ve been crying for months! In fact, I thought I was disfigured for life. He was terrifying, my anxiety skyrocketed, “she told us.
“I stopped going to parties, events and weddings. I felt like every time I went out in public people noticed my face despite trying to cover it with camouflage makeup. The pigmentation was so bad it was still noticeable.
“Strangers looked shocked, horrified, so I couldn’t come out as it would make me aware that I’m attracting unwanted attention.
“Even with the camouflage it was still noticeable and it looked like he had two black eyes.”
The health of Farnaz’s father was so precarious that he was bedridden and in need of constant care.
She said there were many long nights and constant stress, which made her skin “terrible”.
“My skin was terrible, my eyes were really puffy and my confidence was at a minimum, so I wanted to find something I could do to get it back,” she said.
“I had pain throughout the treatment, but the doctor told me it was normal. The burning sensation continued afterwards, but he just told me to take the acetaminophen.
“I woke up the next morning and my whole face was sore and extremely swollen. In the evening I went to the hospital and had to stay there overnight.
Doctors told Farnaz they were “extremely worried” that he might lose his sight from burns and that he had severe scars on his face.
She explained: “My heart was broken, I thought I had been disfigured all my life. When my mother saw my face, she burst into tears.
After being discharged from the hospital and narrowly escaping her vision loss, Farnaz continued to contact the skincare professional, who began dodging her pleas.
“All I wanted was some help to get my face back to normal. I tried to call her for three weeks until her husband came to me and he told me to stop harassing her wife, ”she shared.
“I couldn’t believe it, I was completely alone facing the huge dark spots and hyperpigmentation under my eyes.”
Farnaz says the long-lasting damage made her skin extremely sensitive and most of the skin care products she used caused more breakouts and damaged the skin barrier.
However, she was determined not to give up and wanted to find a solution to her dark spots. So she came up with her own formula.
“My skin was like cling film, I couldn’t even put on makeup without my skin peeling off. I decided my skin needed a break from chemicals and started making my own oil with only natural ingredients,” he said. called Farnaz.
“It turned out to be the best I could do. I spent months and the best part of a couple thousand dollars on skin care products and something I did myself gave me my face back.
“I was excited and banging at the same time. My family started asking me to use my oil and it got rid of acne for my daughter, niece and sisters.
Farnaz continued to develop its home oil and launched its own skincare brand called SCX Global.
Her goal since launching the brand has been to help other people like her with sensitive skin while working with local food banks to provide meals to those in need.
SXC harnesses the power of nature to bring out the best in you with clean, vegan and cruelty free beauty products.
“My dad had a passion for helping people and that’s something he instilled in me. I lost my father to COVID in 2020 after being bedridden for four years and promised him I would continue honoring him in heaven, “he said.
“We donate at least three meals to people in need for every order and have already donated hundreds of food packages and wheelchairs. I want to expand my business globally and help as many people as possible. “
