These 4 "magical" beauty projects, how many Chinese women have been miserable?

Not long ago, Zhimei saw such a news on the Internet, Ms. Li of Anhui spent 2,000 yuan on facial filling surgery in a beauty hospital in Nanjing, and the result was a serious adverse reaction after the operation, and she was treated in two hospitals, and the total cost has reached 600,000 yuan, which is really unaffordable.

Seeing this, I believe that everyone's first reaction is: dare to do facial filling in the beauty hospital? The boldness is also too great.

However, due to the lack of awareness of surgical risks and cosmetic projects, many people are unaware of the great health risks. There are many people like Ms. Li in life, so today Zhimei will take stock for everyone, those common projects that burn money in beauty salons may also hurt the body, and avoid these pits together!

"Detox regimen" is simply a killing trick of the beauty salon, once you go in, whether it is acne spots, dull skin tone, constipation... Or any discomfort, can be hardened by the merchant into "the body has accumulated a lot of toxins", need to do "lymphatic drainage SPA".

So the question is, does the human body really need to detoxify?

The truth is: NO!

There is no "toxin" in the body of healthy people, and the "toxin" advertised is actually a waste produced by the normal metabolism of the human body, which can be discharged by sweating, defecating, and lacrimation [1].

Speaking of lymph, it is an important defense system of the human body and has a "detoxification" function in itself. When germs invade the human body from the outside world, the body does produce problems, when the lymphatic system and germs are at war, it will produce reactions such as pain and inflammation, and when the lymphatic system destroys the germs, these reactions will disappear [2].

If the lymph is massaged arbitrarily, it is possible to destroy the capillary lymphatic vessels and cause the lymph to be injured.

Acne affects the "face" problem, and it is not easy to cure. Therefore, "rapid acne removal" is also vigorously promoted by beauty salons as one of the money-making projects, usually claiming that as long as XX days can remove acne, is it really so powerful?

The truth is: believe in your evil!

People's Daily reported that in November 2019, a beauty salon in Xinghua, Jiangsu Province, announced to Ms. Zhang that the acne effect could be seen in as long as 15 days. Unexpectedly, a simple acne treatment made Ms. Zhang mercury poisoned into the ICU, and her life was once in danger. Follow-up tests found that the mercury used by Ms. Zhang exceeded the standard by more than 9,000 times [3].

Which is the quick acne removal? It's a hypnotic...

Acne on our face, a skin disease, scientific name "acne", mainly on the face, is a chronic inflammatory skin disease of the hair follicle sebaceous glands, with an incidence of up to 70% to 87% [4].

Since it is a disease, of course you have to see a doctor! The usual method used in beauty salons is generally "needle clearing" and "mask", coupled with homemade "ointments" or skin care products that may be mixed with hormones, at that time, you may feel that there are fewer acne, but the acne bacteria in the depths of the hair follicles are still multiplying, and the acne will continue to grow, and it does not solve the fundamental problem.

In order to make money, some beauty salons will also use some unqualified products, similar to ms. Zhang's encounter, hurting the "face" and hurting the body.

Therefore, acne still has to go to the dermatology department of a regular hospital for treatment, and beauticians and skin care products cannot replace the doctor's diagnosis and treatment.

There is a lump of fat hanging under the eyes, the bright and dangling people are a few years old, and it is difficult to cover up the thick cosmetics, many people think that they will have eye bags when they are old, but young people often stay up late, and they may also produce eye bags.

First declare: eye cream can not remove eye bags, the best way to remove eye bags at present is surgery, but when you hear about surgery, many people are scared to retreat...

At this time, the beauty salon appeared, known as "you can get rid of eye bags without surgery", and such a good thing?

The truth is: fake!

The current eye bag removal surgery, no matter how minimally invasive, is a wound, but the wound location is different!

Remove eye bags, focusing on cutting off excess fat and sagging skin.

The common exotomy (also known as external eye bag removal) is to cut the skin at the base of the lower eyelashes, remove some of the fat and excess skin, and then suture it to smooth the wrinkles around the lower eyelids [5].

This method is more suitable for people with loose skin around the eyes, the disadvantage is that the lower eyelid will have obvious wounds, there may be scars.

Those known as "unsheathed eye bags" generally use the internal incision method (also called internal road eye bags)[5], and cut a small opening in the inner eyelid membrane of the lower eyelid to remove the fat. The incision is small, the recovery is fast, and it is suitable for young people whose eye bags are not particularly serious.

Line: No matter which one you choose, you have to be stabbed!

Here also reminds beauty lovers that some lower eyelid edema is caused by kidney function problems, but it is easy to be mistaken for eye bags, so once abnormalities are found, they should be treated in time.

When Zhimei surfed the Internet, she saw that on a social platform, a beauty project that claimed to be able to slim down the face without cutting bones, without injections, and without any side effects, was very popular, and many people appeared to say that it was "very effective".

According to online accounts, Japanese osteopathy mainly achieves facial fine-tuning by regulating bone slits, muscles and soft tissues, and the effect is immediate. This set is inevitably heartwarming, but is there a scientific basis for this?

The truth is: unreliable!

First of all, "bone slit" is a pseudo-concept, and the gaps between bones and bones seen on X-rays are actually fat, soft tissue, ligaments and so on. Besides, the connection between adult bones is tight and stable, and it is unlikely that this connection can be changed by external forces.

So what is the reason that the face looks small after doing the "osteopathy"? Probably because the swelling of the massage face has subsided, and it is only visually small.

In this day and age

Beauty can be generously expressed

But don't be tempted to be beautiful

Mistakenly into the various pits of profiteers~

Do the sisters have any lightning protection experiences they would like to share?

See you in the comments section.
