Today, when the problem of food and clothing has been solved, and various media are bombarding the standards of "beauty", everyone's demand for their own beauty is getting higher and higher, but not everyone can be as good-looking as a celebrity genes. There are nearly 20 million medical aesthetics consumers in China. At the same time, there is a very short supply of regular medical aesthetics practitioners in the country. There are less than 3 qualified professional medical aesthetics or plastic surgeons per million people. Affected by factors such as huge profits and low illegal costs, China's medical beauty market is flooded with a large number of black medical beauty clinics and black medical beauty personnel. The number of such black medical beauty institutions is much greater than that of regular medical beauty institutions. clubs, beauty salons, nail salons, residential buildings and even hotels.

1. Medical aesthetic projects not allowed by the state

1. Calf nerve cut off leg slimming surgery

Calf nerve cut off leg slimming surgery has long been a A medical beauty project that was popular among many apps and was quickly banned was quickly stopped by the country after it was found to be extremely harmful. The principle is to cut off part of the nerves in the calf and cause the calf muscles to atrophy to achieve the purpose of shaping and slimming the legs. But behind the glamorous publicity, there is a huge risk of irreversible nerve damage and lower limb motor dysfunction. In severe cases, people can only live in a wheelchair for the rest of their lives. What's more tragic is that the shrunken legs will become thicker again.

2. Whitening injections

The my country Food and Drug Administration has not approved any injections for whitening. It is illegal for any institution or individual to use unregistered drugs on others. However, in the daily life of the public, the push of small articles and short videos in the APP is in full swing and bombarded indiscriminately. There are no legal whitening needles in China, and there are many fake ones overseas. Moreover, even the US FDA has issued warnings about whitening injections. To put it bluntly, whitening injections actually put a variety of whitening ingredients and auxiliary ingredients into a bottle of saline and inject them intravenously into the body. Because the side effects of the main active ingredient may cause thrombosis, dysmenorrhea and even cerebral thrombosis. In order to be effective, this ingredient accounts for a large proportion of the whitening injection, and multiple injections are required, and the risk will also increase significantly. In addition, when multiple drugs are mixed into the same saline, not to mention whether there are any incompatibility between the drugs, just the simultaneous intravenous infusion of multiple drugs into the blood will have great safety risks, which will affect the liver, kidney and other metabolic organs. The injuries also increased suddenly, seriously damaging life and health.

3. Fat-dissolving injections

my country’s Food and Drug Administration has not approved any injections for weight loss. A fat-dissolving injection that claims to be registered has not actually been approved for use as an injection. It is illegal for any institution or individual to use unregistered drugs on others. In other words, “fat-dissolving injections” have not yet been legalized in my country, and there is a lack of a large number of clinical trials to test its safety.

Hazards of fat-dissolving injections:

① When fat cells are destroyed and disintegrated, an inflammatory reaction occurs and they are eventually metabolized. This inflammatory reaction may cause long-term serious consequences such as redness and swelling, infection and suppuration, fat liquefaction, nodules and masses, ulceration and perforation, pain, movement disorders, etc. as shown below. Once it occurs, even after formal treatment, it cannot be 100% restored to the original state.

② A large number of fat cells are destroyed, disintegrated, emulsified and enter the blood. Lipid droplets are likely to cause serious microcirculation disorders, causing ischemia, hypoxia and even necrosis of local tissues, causing a series of serious clinical symptoms. .

③ What’s even more frightening is that more and more clinical observations have found that the main components of lipolysis injections do not specifically target fat cells. Studies have shown that higher concentrations of fat-dissolving products, while destroying some fat cells, can also cause irreversible damage to muscles, skin, blood vessels and other normal tissues! The seriousness of its harm is far greater than the cosmetic effect of lipolysis.

2. Black medical aesthetics also exists in the medical beauty projects permitted by the state

1. "Acid brushing" treatment

"Acid brushing" is used in various types of medical beauty projects. Medical beauty projects are nothing new. The most common ones used by the public are cosmetics containing "acid" used by beauty lovers (the acid content is limited to less than 3).

Consumers who purchase acid-containing cosmetics such as fruit acids and salicylic acid through regular channels do not need to be too nervous. Qualified acid-containing cosmetics are generally less risky and can be used daily according to the instructions. The so-called "acid brushing" in medical aesthetics, that is, chemical peeling, refers to applying a certain concentration of acidic chemicals to the skin, causing controlled damage and promoting skin regeneration, so as to improve acne, dissolve acne, and shrink pores. , reduce oil production, dilute fine lines and other beauty effects. Because it can cause damage to the skin, chemical peels belong to the category of medical cosmetology, so they must be performed by trained professionals in hospitals or clinics with medical qualifications. The acid used is not a cosmetic (the concentration of the acid is generally Generally above 20). The risk of "acid brushing" is that uncontrollable skin damage will be caused by going to unlicensed medical beauty institutions without medical beauty qualifications, using high-concentration acids by non-professionals, or obtaining high-concentration acids through improper channels. There is a very high risk of "bad face".

2. Shoddy goods

Medical cosmetology involves many drugs, consumables, equipment, photoacoustic and electrical cosmetology equipment, etc., which are domestically produced or imported, with different prices and different effects. . This resulted in such an illegal behavior. During the pre-operative conversation, black medical beauty institutions informed them that they would inject, implant or use certain drugs, materials, photoacoustic and electrical beauty equipment, but in actual operations they secretly replaced them with different ones. Cheap medicines, materials or equipment. For example, in the early stage, low-price promotion was used to attract beauty seekers, and the first few injections of leg-slimming injections were mixed with physiological saline. But when you go for injections later, you will be told that the trial discount price has been used up, and the price will immediately rise.

3. Potion/nevus spotting pen

Commonly known moles, also known as pigmented nevus in medicine, are benign growths composed of local accumulation of nevus cells in the skin. This disease is quite common, almost everyone has it, and it usually develops slowly. They are flat in childhood, and then gradually grow with age, and the moles enlarge to a larger area or bulge the skin surface.

Mole removal treatment belongs to the category of medical cosmetology because it invades the skin and causes damage. It can only be performed by professional medical personnel in regular medical cosmetology institutions. But in our daily lives, we can see many people using so-called "mole-spotting pens" or "potions" to remove moles on many online shopping platforms or social apps. They are promoted to be effective in removing moles without recurrence. The comparison photos before and after treatment make people excited to try it. However, in fact, it is easy to cause disfigurement such as infection, ulceration, and hypertrophic scarring. This situation is extremely common in clinical practice, which requires more time and money to be repaired in the future, and it may not be possible to recover as before.

The above is just the tip of the iceberg of black medical beauty. In reality, beauty seekers encounter countless tricks that are hard to guard against. All in all, anything that can damage the skin, bleed, or pierce the flesh belongs to medical beauty. You should go to a regular medical beauty institution: such as plastic surgery, micro-plastic injection, photoacoustic and electrical therapy (laser, photon, radio frequency, etc.), chemical Skin rejuvenation (fruit acid, salicylic acid, etc.), tattooing (eyebrow tattooing), etc. Beauty salons and hairdressers can only provide non-invasive daily beauty services, such as facial massage care, body massage care, manicure, etc. It is illegal for institutions and personnel without medical cosmetology qualifications to provide medical cosmetology, which poses great safety risks, ranging from disfigurement to death. The majority of consumers must keep their eyes peeled before undergoing medical aesthetics, and better upgrade their "appearance" on the premise of safety.
