Everyone has a love for beauty, and everyone has the right to pursue beauty. Nowadays, the vigorous development of medical aesthetics has also provided a channel for more people to become beautiful. Skinboosters are one of the most common aesthetic treatments on the market, and many people are tempted by just looking at the advertising slogan that it can "reverse the age of the skin", but before you act, do you really know about skinboosters?
Aunt Chen, who lives in Wenzhou and runs a fruit shop in the community, is 42 years old this year but still dresses stylishly, and her hair color changes every few months in line with the trend on her mobile phone's short videos. On January 8, 2024, Aunt Chen's neighbor Aunt Li came to the fruit store to buy fruit, and Aunt Chen praised Aunt Li when she saw that Aunt Li's skin was shining in the light and her complexion was so good. Aunt Li smiled: "I've done the effect of water light injections." ”
Aunt Chen has also heard of the water light needle, but after all, there is a "needle" in the name, she doesn't dare to touch it, so even if she sees many people recommending it on the Internet, she has never learned about it carefully, and now that the living example is in front of her, Aunt Chen can't help but be moved, the New Year is approaching, if you can make the wrinkles at the corners of your eyes and eyebrows fade, some of them will be more beautiful in New Year's clothes.
Aunt Chen began to search for specific information on the Internet, and it turned out that under the control of the computer, according to the needs of different skin conditions, the drug was injected into the dermis layer of the skin at a fixed point and quantitatively with a single or double row of special negative pressure needles of 3-5mm, so that the drug could work directly on the dermis layer of the skin, thereby improving the skin quality.
One of the commonly used drugs for skin boosters is sodium hyaluronate, commonly known as hyaluronic acid, which has many clinical applications. It can be made into sodium hyaluronate eye drops, which can be dropped on the eyelids to relieve dry eyes and fatigue when the eyes of patients with dry eye syndrome have eye discomfort, and in orthopedics, it can also be injected into the joint cavity to relieve the pain of arthritis patients, which is equivalent to the "lubricant" of the joint.
In the dermal layer of the skin, hyaluronic acid originally exists as a gelatin, which has good hydrophilicity and plays a role in storing water, which can make the skin look more supple and plump. According to this principle, skin boosters inject small molecules of hyaluronic acid into the dermis, which can make dull yellow, dull, rough, and wrinkled skin plump and elastic, which is a relative "reversal of skin age".
Three days later, Aunt Chen passed by a beauty salon and saw the sign that said Skinbooster and pushed the door in. As soon as she opened the door, a young girl led Aunt Chen inside, and she opened her mouth to sell Aunt Chen all kinds of instruments and beauty products in the store. Aunt Chen's heart retreated, and she quit the beauty salon by saying "next time, next time".
But after understanding the efficacy of skin boosters, Aunt Chen still wanted to give it a try, since medical beauty has the word "medicine", can the hospital do it? Aunt Chen went to the hospital with a twist of footsteps.
While waiting at the door of the clinic, the nurse introduced the hospital to Aunt Chen, saying that the drugs used in the public hospital are all approved and purchased by the State Drug Administration, and the injection of the skin booster is a minimally invasive operation, and the operator must be a registered practitioner in a related specialty with more than 3 years of clinical experience in dermatology or a plastic surgeon with more than 1 year of clinical experience in medical cosmetology.
At present, there is frequent chaos in the skin and dermis market, and unqualified beauty institutions blindly follow the trend to carry out skin booster business and the abuse of illegal products, which will cause patients to have various discomforts after surgery, because there are many blood vessels and nerves in the dermis layer of the skin, which may lead to congestion at the injection point, which will take at least a week to subside, and if the facial nerve is injured, the consequences will be endless; if the aseptic operation cannot be strictly adhered to during the operation, it will lead to infection at the injection needle hole, and the skin will be red and swollen. Pus, if the drugs used do not conform to the norm and cause rejection in the body, it may lead to the formation of granulomas of foreign bodies in the face.
After hearing this, Aunt Chen sighed, fortunately, she didn't do skin boosters in the beauty shop outside. The doctor explained to Aunt Chen that not everyone can do skin boosters, and due to the different physical constitutions and physical conditions, there are three types of people who must pay attention to the skin boosters before injecting them......
1. Minors
Minors are not suitable for any non-therapeutic medical aesthetic surgery, minors have poor resistance, and it is usually not recommended to undergo skin booster injection, because hyaluronic acid is originally a part of the dermis layer of the skin, minors are in the process of growth and development, the content of hyaluronic acid in the body is sufficient, there is no special situation, it is redundant to inject hyaluronic acid through skin boosters, and blind supplementation of hyaluronic acid may affect the physical development of minors.
2. Various special periods
Women who are pregnant, menstruating, breastfeeding, or trying to conceive should not be given skin boosters. Because women in this period have low immunity and decreased coagulation function, the risk of bleeding and infection during and after minimally invasive injections increases, and the healing time of minimally wound wounds becomes longer and more difficult, which may not achieve the desired effect. Moreover, the effect of the drug injected by the skin booster on the fetus is unknown, and these special periods should be avoided as much as possible.
When the face is in a state of inflammation, it is not urgent to inject skinboosters, and such injections should be considered for some time after the inflammation has subsided. For example, during the active phase of acne, commonly known as the acne popping phase, the sebaceous glands of the hair follicles on the face are in a state of inflammation, and the injection of skin boosters may aggravate the inflammation.
3. Allergies and scars
People with allergies have poor adaptability when encountering external factors that are easily sensitized, and are more likely to have allergic reactions than ordinary people, ranging from skin itching, rashes, nausea, vomiting, to syncope and shock. Allergies can be congenital, inherited from parents, or acquired, and can lead to reduced immunity when the body is too tired, too stressed, etc. Such people should be cautious before administering any drug injections. Also, skin boosters during allergy periods may worsen allergy symptoms.
Although skin boosters are only a minimally invasive procedure, they can also create wounds at the injection site, and people with scar constitution are at risk of scarring once they have wounds on their bodies. Originally, the injection of skin boosters was for aesthetic purposes, but it is very likely that the wound will proliferate due to improper follow-up care, which will affect the aesthetics and outweigh the losses.
After 30 minutes, the anesthetic effect appeared, and the doctor began to slowly inject hyaluronic acid into Aunt Chen's face from top to bottom, and the whole process was completed after 15 minutes, and the nurse told Aunt Chen to keep her skin clean after returning home, use pure water to cleanse her face, and do a good job of sunscreen every day to prevent pigmentation.
In addition, it should also be noted that although skin boosters can play a role in improving skin texture, they have a certain absorption period and cannot be injected frequently for a long time, otherwise it will lead to skin thinning and cause damage to the skin.
