A Georgia man plans to sue an Atlanta spa after suffering severe injuries from a chemical peel.
According to TMZ, Neyo White shared his experience at the establishment by posting a video to his TikTok account. He said the chemical peel was performed on Feb. 17 at Diamond Facez Skincare Bar. Though he said he’s never had the procedure done before, he’s received other treatments at the spa.
Additionally, the Georgia native shared a series of photos and videos of his face covered with dark blemishes.
“My life is over,” Neyo wrote on social media. “I don’t know what else to do.”
When White made the appointment, he said he didn’t know what to expect since he’s never gotten the treatment done before.
“I knew it was going to be bad, but I did not think it was going to be this bad,” he said in a since-deleted Facebook video, per Complex.
Neyo said he started to feel a burning sensation in his face during the process and informed the esthetician about his discomfort. However, she assured him that the feeling was normal.
“After she’s finished doing the chemical peel, my face is white and gray. And so I asked her, I said, ‘Hey, aren’t you going to remove this [acid] off me face?’ She said, ‘Oh no, you’ll be fine.’ She said, ‘It’ll dry up a few minutes later, a maybe a few hours later.’”
After he returned home, Neyo said he noticed the scars on his face had turned from white to gray. As they turned darker, he didn’t feel too concerned about it but decided to seek medical treatment after the blemishes started to resemble burns on his face.
Neyo said the esthetician refused to take responsibility for the incident or refund him the money he spent for the procedure. In addition, he intends to file a lawsuit against the spa and created a GoFundMe page to help with medical costs, hospital trips, and legal fees.
“I did not do this for any type of clout chasing or views or anything like that,” he said in a video posted by TMZ.
“People also saying, ‘Oh, he created a GoFundMe account, so he’s trying to scam people.’ I created the GoFundMe because I have to pay out of pocket for Ubers to the burn specialist. That’s 45 minutes away. I still have to pay other fees—medical fees after the insurance covers what it’s going to cover.”
