What is a hormone face?
The hormone face does not appear because the hormone is "hidden" in the muscle base. It is more likely that the skin barrier is damaged due to irregular use of hormonal drugs or long-term use of skin care products containing hormones, resulting in skin problems. So it's a lie to let you "secrete hormones"
Everyone loves beauty. In order to retain customers, many unscrupulous merchants will take advantage of customers' anxiety to get better, hoping that their products will get quick results and recommend some "artifacts". After using it, the skin turned white, the pimples disappeared and people became beautiful. Seeing satisfactory results, many people have found a savior, but you should know that most of these quick whitening and acne-removing products contain excessive functional ingredients, especially the long-term use of skin care products containing hormones, which has formed what we call a "hormone face".
Ⅱ
What is the secret of the "artifact"?
Glucocorticoid, scientific name: adrenocortical hormone, has anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive effects. It can make blood vessels contract rapidly, so the red blood disappears and the skin becomes white and tender. But at the same time, it will quickly reduce the activity of cells, and cellular immunity and sebum secretion will also be inhibited.
Therefore, glucocorticoids should be used when doctors strictly prescribe and guide the lower limit, which is a medical behavior to temporarily relieve facial inflammatory reaction, and it is forbidden to use strong glucocorticoids on the face. If long-term use forms dependence, it will form hormone-dependent dermatitis.
Ⅲ
The manifestations of dependent dermatitis
After stopping using it for a long time, there will be many symptoms such as thinning skin, redness, aging, dryness, blood vessel exposure, obvious itching, burning pain, acne, pimple, and even skin ulceration in severe cases.
Once the hormone is stopped, no matter what skin care products are used, inflammation and allergic reaction will occur due to the decrease of hormone level. There is even an outbreak trend, which is the root cause of the so-called "acne explosion", "oil field" and "anti-black".
1. Mild skin injury, no obvious dependence on hormones, no obvious changes in the appearance of hormone face (such as bloodshot, etc.). ), I just feel that my skin is more sensitive than before.
2. In severe cases, skin damage has formed and the skin becomes very sensitive. Dare not use ordinary skin care products, the skin looks thinner, and there are symptoms such as bloodshot, desquamation, redness, pigmentation, aggravated hair and acne.
3. Serious, the skin has been seriously damaged, and you can't use any ordinary skin care products. Facial inflammatory edema, redness, burning sensation, discomfort and acute pustules. Ⅳ
What about hormone face?
The treatment of hormone face is troublesome, mainly to prevent and repair the skin barrier function. Avoid using effective and quick-acting skin care products; Don't blindly follow the trend, carefully choose "word-of-mouth products" such as Taobao, WeChat purchasing and celebrity recommendation, so as not to fall into the trap of hormone products.
Rule 1: Always follow the doctor's advice. If you have hormonal dermatitis, the first thing to do is to stop using all glucocorticoid topical preparations. In addition, psychological adjustment is needed to get rid of psychological dependence on glucocorticoid application.
Principle 2: Do a good job in moisturizing, anti-inflammatory, anti-allergic and other treatments, such as external use of medical skin care products, increase the moisture content of the stratum corneum and restore the epidermal barrier function. Combined with non-hormonal immunomodulators such as tacrolimus and pimecrolimus cream, oral antihistamines.
Principle 3: The growth cycle of the skin from the basal layer to the granular layer takes about 28 days, and then it takes about one and a half months for the cuticle to fall off completely. Therefore, after our skin barrier is damaged, it will take 3-6 months or even longer to repair it. Therefore, patients with hormone dependence must not be rushed, and they should be treated patiently and confidently. Moisturizing skin care is the foundation: it is recommended to use medical skin care products to repair the skin barrier and restore the original ecology of the skin.
Medical beauty: Shu Min expert, red and yellow LED, intense pulsed light.
The first stage: Shu Min experts, 65438+ 0-2 times a week, about 4-6 times in a row. Shu Min experts include: ultrasonic cleaning, long RF and red/yellow LED. Among them, field radio frequency can promote the emulsification of drugs and skin care products, facilitate absorption, repair sebum membrane and stratum corneum, calm blood vessels in dermis, and inhibit flushing and burning.
The second stage: Shu Min expert+intense pulsed light. 3 weeks/kloc-0 times, about 6 times in a row. Strong light can effectively promote the metabolism of inflammatory cells and remove red blood silk through light modulation (note that it is not contraction, but really removed through "selective photothermal effect"). Only when the excess red blood is knocked out will the skin recover as before. Intense pulsed light starts the self-repair function of skin, promotes metabolism and gradually restores the original thickness of thin skin. At this stage, we can choose botulinum toxin droplet injection, ACT (autologous blood nucleated cells) or PRP (platelet-rich plasma) water light injection.
The third stage: non-stripping lattice laser. 2-3 months 1 time, about 3 times in a row. For people with thin skin, non-exfoliating lattice laser is needed to stimulate collagen synthesis and skin regeneration.
