I'm going to give you a fair warning. If you are at all squeamish, needle phobic, or perhaps afraid of aliens, then read no further. All who go beyond this point, do so at their own risk. Understood? Good, let's continue.
There are some crazy beauty fads out there but I haven't seen any as creepy as this. National Geographic have just reported on Japan's latest trend: the Bagel Forehead. The process involves saline being injected into the forehead until it creates a bulging reservoir. Then, the "therapist" uses his/her thumb to push an indentation into the middle, hence the name 'bagel'.
It only lasts anywhere between 16 to 24 hours before the saline is absorbed into your body but why anyone would want to walk around with a bagel forehead for 16 to 24 minutes is beyond me. It looks like something citizens of The Hunger Game's Capital would be all over, or extras from Avatar. It's so disturbing in a number of ways. Also, what happens afterwards? Are there any side effects, headaches, saggy skin after repeated use? Who the heck knows?
I'll tell you one thing, call me a spoil sport but I'm not prepared to find out. But if you want to add it to your menus, knock yourself out.
