The RF beauty device purchased from the webcast room was used only 4 times, and Ms. Jin's forehead and cheeks were poxed one after another. Diagnosed by the dermatologist of Union Hospital: This is irritant dermatitis and the beauty device should be discontinued immediately.
Ms. Kim's diagnosis is confirmed
In December last year, when Ms. Jin was brushing a short video, she was "planted grass" by the beauty anchor and purchased a 4,077 yuan radio frequency beauty device, saying that it could lighten wrinkles and tighten facial skin. "The live broadcast room said that this beauty device sold more than 500 million. I thought to myself, so many people buy it should be very effective! So Ms. Jin quickly placed an order.
This beauty device comes with a special gel that is applied evenly to the face and then used to make small circles in a small area. Ms. Jin followed the instructions to use 3 times a week for about 10 minutes each time. What she did not expect was that her desire to become beautiful was not realized, but she waited for a face of acne.
"When I started to have acne, I didn't pay attention to it, I stopped using the acne for a period of time, and then I started to have acne again, which was more serious than once, and I found that something was wrong!" Ms. Jin said, "The acne is distributed on the cheeks, nose, forehead is the most, a piece of red and white tip, and ordinary acne squeezed out of the thing is different, it is pus, it should be inflammation!" "Ms. Jin, who came from a medical background, felt that something was wrong and went to Union Hospital on January 18.
Ms. Jin talked to customer service to ask about the qualifications and ingredients of the product, and the other party asked her to go to the hospital for allergen testing
After the doctor's physical examination, Ms. Jin was diagnosed with irritant dermatitis due to facial papules and papular pustular rash, which was caused by contact with irritants. The doctor advised Ms. Kim to immediately stop the beauty device and gel. On January 25, Ms. Jin went to Union Hospital again, and Dr. Wen of the Allergy Department looked at the composition list of the gel and said that the fragrances contained in the gel (citronellol, linalool), propylene glycol, etc. are substances that are easy to cause skin allergies, so it is likely to be the cause of herpes, and the allergen can be confirmed after the optional patch test. However, due to the epidemic situation, this test cannot be done at present.
Dr. Wen said that many women are keen to buy and use beauty equipment and products, but often pay the "IQ tax" at a high price. She suggested that golden women should fully understand the performance of these products before purchasing these products, and should go to a regular medical beauty institution for treatment when necessary. "This kind of beauty instrument is neither a drug nor a medical device, and consumers must know it when they use it."
The rf meter does not fully Chinese marked with instructions for use
After the doctor's guidance, Ms. Jin went home to carefully check the packaging of the beauty device and found that the Chinese label of this beauty instrument only indicated the brand, model, size, voltage, power and company name and other information, and the instructions for use, contraindications and other contents were all in English, and there was no Chinese logo on the gel packaging. Ms. Jin contacted her official customer service, and the other party translated the English product description into Chinese through the translation software, and sent it to Ms. Jin in the form of a screenshot. "How ridiculous, such a big brand, the product description is literally translated with translation software, and the preface does not match the afterword, every word is recognized, just don't understand what it means!" Ms. Kim complained.

Cosmetics inspector, formulator, member of the China Cosmetic Chemist Association Wang Jie said that the radio frequency beauty instrument stimulates collagen synthesis and plumps the dermis by heating, which can achieve a certain anti-wrinkle and tightening effect, but the maintenance time is very limited, and consumers with dry skin and sensitive skin should be cautious. In addition, the radio frequency beauty device needs to be used with the conductive gel, and indeed some people will be allergic, and it is recommended that consumers test the sensitivity behind the ear before using it. Wang Jie suggested that although live streaming is hot, the evaluation of anchors is experiential evaluation, not medical evaluation, and consumers should not blindly follow the trend, so as not to pay the "IQ tax".
