However, some products for female customers, although the "wind" is very large, but the practicality is not high, and it may be harmful to use.

Face Slimming Meter: Unable to eliminate facial fat and masseter muscles

What if you want to have a small "v" face and don't want to dance a "knife" on your face to get a "needle"? In order to meet this demand, the slimming instrument known as non-invasive slimming face came out and was favored by many beauty lovers.

Although the slimming instruments on the market have different shapes and different principles of slimming, the main working principle of most slimming instruments is to stimulate the face through microwaves, microcurrents, etc., thereby helping the synthesis of subcutaneous collagen and elastin.

"Theoretically, massaging and stimulating the skin through microcurrents and microwaves, accelerating facial blood circulation and discharging excess water from the face will make the face feel smaller visually, so the role of the slimming instrument cannot be completely denied." However, it is almost impossible to rely on the slimming meter alone to complete the goal of slimming the face. Li Hongwei said.

He further explains: "Slimming masks are not wrong with tissues such as fat, bones and masseter muscles on the face, because these tissues cannot be eliminated by massage. ”

"For the hot face slimming device on the market, consumers must not be confused by its advertising slogan, and do not choose 'three no products' for cheap purposes." Li Hongwei reminded that the quality of "three no products" is not guaranteed, some of the materials used are toxic, and some although the materials are safe, there may be problems in the workmanship, once used improperly, it is easy to cause adverse reactions and damage to the facial skin.

Breast patches: basically ineffective against common breast diseases

Among the many women's health products, the sales of breast patches are very eye-catching. On an e-commerce platform, many stores selling the product have a sales record of "100,000 +". In the promotion of merchants, breast stickers can be described as "artifacts" of female breast health care, such as breast hyperplasia, breast cysts, breast pain, breast nodules and other breast problems Breast patches can be easily solved.

The reason why breast patches are popular with women is because the problem of breast hyperplasia is more common in women. Many people also always equate breast hyperplasia with breast cancer lesions, and even "talk about breast hyperplasia discoloration".

"Breast hyperplasia is caused by elevated estrogen levels in the body and does not lead to breast cancer." Yin Jian, director of the Department of Breast Reconstruction at Tianjin Medical University Cancer Hospital, said in an interview with Science and Technology Daily that women will experience a process of breast hyperplasia and recovery in the normal physiological cycle. When the mammary glands are stimulated by hormones in the body, they become congested and enlarged. After the estrogen subsides, some people's breasts do not fully recover to what they were before, and they will thicken a little. This is a normal physiological phenomenon and does not require overtreatment at all.

Some people may have breast lumps, breast pain, nipple itching and other problems, at this time usually as long as you maintain a good mood, stable work and rest, the symptoms will slowly improve. "When we encounter patients with breast hyperplasia in the clinic, we will ask them whether they are in the physiological cycle, whether they are angry, tired and other triggers, and generally recommend that patients adjust their work and rest first, and then see if breast hyperplasia has improved." Yin Jian said that for breast hyperplasia patients who need to receive drug treatment, we do not recommend that they take medicine for a long time, and they can take one or two courses of treatment according to their condition.

At present, the more common breast patches on the market mainly include cold compresses and far-infrared breast patches (hot patches). In this regard, Yin Jian said that whether it is cold or hot, it is basically useless for the treatment of common breast diseases such as breast hyperplasia.

"The mammary glands are very fragile and can't withstand all kinds of tossing. Clinically, we often see cases of hot compresses scalding the skin of the breasts, acupuncture to bring out mastitis, and massage to crush breast fat. Therefore, I advise the majority of female friends to try not to use various topical products to 'toss' the breast. Yin Jian stressed.

Hyaluronic acid sparkling water: not necessarily good skin

As a moisturizer, hyaluronic acid is widely used in the beauty industry. In recent years, after collagen, hyaluronic acid has been pushed by the "ingredient party" as a new generation of "net red" ingredients. Especially on January 7, 2021, the official website of the National Health and Health Commission released the "three new foods" announcement - sodium hyaluronate (hyaluronic acid alias) was approved as a new food raw material, which can be used as an ordinary food additive, and since then, hyaluronic acid "makeup and food homology" has become more and more step. Following hyaluronic acid jelly, filling gummies, chewable tablets, drinks containing hyaluronic acid ingredients have also mushroomed rapidly, and related product advertisements call it "hyaluronic acid that can be drunk", and many female consumers hope to drink "water light muscle". Open the e-commerce platform, the sales of hyaluronic acid drinks of major brands are good.

"Hyaluronic acid is an acidic mucopolysaccharide, which is divided into three types: small molecule, medium molecule and large molecule." Li Hongwei, director of the Department of Plastic and Aesthetic Surgery of the Affiliated Hospital of Nankai University (Tianjin Fourth Hospital), said in an interview with the Science and Technology Daily reporter that in the field of medical beauty, small molecule hyaluronic acid is mainly used for injection of the dermis layer of the face to supplement the missing moisture in the dermis layer; while the macromolecular hyaluronic acid has the role of filling and shaping, mainly used for rhinoplasty, chin augmentation and other plastic surgery; medium molecule hyaluronic acid is usually used for wrinkle removal.

Li Hongwei said that after entering the human digestive system, hyaluronic acid will be digested and decomposed into small molecular substances through the gastrointestinal tract, which is partially metabolized by the human body, and some are absorbed by the human body, and then recombined or become the raw material for the human body to synthesize new hyaluronic acid. But whether it can eventually be converted into new hyaluronic acid depends on the ability of fibroblasts in human skin. If the fibroblasts are aging more severely, even if there are more raw materials, they will not be able to synthesize new hyaluronic acid.

"As of now, there are not enough scientific data to support the conclusion that oral hyaluronic acid can improve skin conditions, and its effect remains to be seen." Beauty lovers who are 'planted with grass' should look at these new products scientifically and consume rationally. Li Hongwei stressed.

Private area care probiotics: or delay the disease, causing the microflora to be out of balance

Recently, probiotics for women's private care have been sold online, and not a small number of people have bought them. The reporter randomly clicked on several stores selling related products on a domestic e-commerce platform, and the average monthly sales of the goods have exceeded 1,000.

In response to the "supplementation" of probiotics to private parts, Yang Yun, deputy director of the Department of Gynecology administration of Tianjin Central Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital, said in an interview with a reporter from Science and Technology Daily that probiotics cannot be used as the primary and important drug for gynecological inflammation, and the abuse of probiotics not only delays the disease, but may also cause imbalance of vaginal flora.

"Gynecological inflammation includes many diseases, such as vaginitis, endometritis, adnexitis, pelvic inflammatory disease." Yang Yun introduced that in the hospital, doctors want to diagnose what kind of disease the patient has, they must go through a series of examinations, and then according to the examination results, they can judge the disease. For different gynecological inflammations, the treatment methods are completely different, and only the right medicine can make patients recover as soon as possible.

"For example, vaginitis, the more common ones are candidal vaginitis, bacterial vaginitis and trichomoniasis vaginitis, etc., the pathogenic bacteria are different, and the antibacterial drugs selected by doctors for patients are also different." Yang Yun introduced that probiotic treatment is only suitable for patients with vaginitis with imbalance of vaginal bacterial flora, and it is only an adjuvant treatment method, and it has no effect on non-bacterial vaginitis caused by trichomoniasis, gonococci, chlamydia, etc. Probiotics have no effect on the treatment of endometritis, adnexitis, pelvic inflammatory diseases and other diseases.

"If you feel that you have some symptoms of gynecological inflammation, it is best to go to a regular hospital to diagnose the diagnosis first, and then prescribe the right medicine." Misuse of probiotics can lead to vaginal infections, causing various gynecological inflammations. Yang Yun reminded that healthy women's vaginas have self-cleaning functions, and there is no need to use probiotics as health care products. (Chen Xi)
