Internet celebrity "Heat Maggie" frequent incidents
Consumers become more beautiful and get burned
Since the beginning of this year, many media have frequently reported on Remaggie's burns.
In October last year, Ms. Ma from Shanghai did a hot-maggie beauty program for the eyes at a medical beauty institution, but she did not expect to have redness and swelling and a lot of blisters after spending more than 10,000 yuan.
Xu Hui, director of the Department of Dermatology, Shanghai Ninth People's Hospital, told reporters that the Remaji technology uses radio frequency to penetrate deep into the dermis, generating 50-60°C heat, and tightening the skin without causing burns.
At present, the Thermomagnet machine and its supporting probes are seriously out of stock.
Xu Hui, director of the Department of Dermatology, Shanghai Ninth People's Hospital: Maybe the original factory did not expect that we will have such a large demand in China, so its production capacity cannot keep up.
Some institutions and hospitals cannot wait a year for the machine after placing an order.
The gap in consumables is quite large.
Due to the scarcity of Remaggies and the expensive machines, fake Remaggies have appeared on the market in the last two years, and there have been continuous consumer disputes.
On a certain complaint platform, taking Remaggie as an example, complaints were concentrated on “fake heat Maggie”, “no effect”, “burns” and “sagging cheeks”.
Fake Hot Maggie
Cost less than two thousand but sold for two thousand yuan
In response to the relatively high overall complaint rate of products in the field of medical aesthetics, the Shanghai Public Security Bureau's investigation and judgment by the General Investigation Team found that some medical aesthetics institutions have used counterfeit medical aesthetics medical devices.
Recently, Shanghai police investigated and dealt with some medical and aesthetic institutions.
A medical beauty institution investigated by the police is located in the core area of Xujiahui, Shanghai. Entering into the store, there are all kinds of documents such as business license, medical device operation permit, and sanitation permit. However, the so-called Thermomagi products here are fakes.
Nie Liu, deputy head of the Food and Drug Environmental Investigation Team of the Shanghai Public Security Bureau: When the Remaji product was bought, we saw that his contract price was 22,000 yuan. In fact, the market price is about 800,000 yuan for the regular product from the United States. To 1 million yuan.
Remage's consumables are mainly radio frequency probes, and the market price is about 4000 yuan. They have long-term contracts with unscrupulous merchants. About a Remage probe is 350 to 400 yuan.
The Remagi equipment seized by the police from the medical and beauty agency looks not much different from the original one.
Although the Remagi official has a set of procedures to guide consumers to verify the authenticity, this set of procedures has been popularized by major medical beauty bloggers.
For example, scan the QR code on the device and probe for verification before starting.
The fake Hot Maggie probe also has a QR code, but the link is to its fake official website.
It is precisely by taking advantage of the trust of consumers that the police seized nearly one hundred contracts for the Remaji project in the medical and aesthetic institutions investigated. The contract amount was mostly between 20,000 and 30,000 yuan, and the cost was one-tenth of the price. Less than.
Nie Liu, deputy head of the Food and Drug Environmental Investigation Team of the Shanghai Municipal Public Security Bureau: The price of Remaji’s facial and eye services is 26,800 yuan, which can be said to be exactly the same as the market price. The consumables and labor used in a contract do not exceed RMB 2,000.
