Kind of eyelashes, hot maji, honeycomb picoseconds, "dangerous" behind the hot
Medical beauty also has an "IQ tax"
Exuberant demand and chaotic industry status have become pain points and difficulties in the development of the current medical aesthetics industry.
In the face of beauty seekers, professionals’ caution is, “If you have a need for beauty, you must go to a formal institution with medical institution qualifications; beauty is only relative. For some beauty items that may harm your health, you must weigh the pros and cons. ."

Remaggi, heat lift, honeycomb picosecond, ultra picosecond, hyaluronic acid injection, eye lift, thread embedding and wrinkle removal... these professional terms that sound a bit "in the mist" are now being Become a beauty term for some post-80s, post-90s and even post-00s.
"Seriously, if you have the money to buy a home beauty instrument for five or six thousand yuan, it is better to go directly to the beauty salon and get a shot, and you will get immediate results." The 28-year-old Xiao Rong (pseudonym) has bought three models: Yameng, Zeus, and TriPollar Recently, the hottest home radio frequency beauty "artifact", she has also done medical beauty projects such as Thermo Maggie and Photon Skin Rejuvenation, and has rich experience.
She told reporters that there are various "pits" in all the above-mentioned beauty projects. To do a formal beauty, "it is basically impossible without professional knowledge of pit prevention."
A reporter from China Youth Daily and China Youth Daily learned from the People’s Court of Changning District, Shanghai that the court released Shanghai’s first white paper on medical aesthetic disputes-"2015-2019 White Paper on Judicial Trial of Medical Cosmetic Disputes", 5 years 94 All medical and aesthetic disputes occurred in private hospitals.
At the same time, another internet ecology big data report released by the Yicai Data Center shows that medical beauty has become a hot spot for post-90s consumption.
Among medical aesthetics users, 59% of the population are post-90s, 22% are post-80s, and 14% are post-00s who are ready to "take over."
Post-90s women like minimally invasive double eyelids, hyaluronic acid filling, rhinoplasty, liposuction, and face-lifting needles. Boys prefer botox wrinkle removal, hair transplants, rhinoplasty, etc.
Exuberant demand and chaotic industry status have become a pain point and difficulty in the current development of the medical aesthetics industry.
Pull out a protein thread buried by the "master" with a hand
In her beauty shop in Tianjin, 36-year-old Li Jing (pseudonym) retrieved a photo of herself and her twin brother from her mobile phone, and shook it in front of the customer. “Everyone says that he is at least 5 years older than me!”
She likes to show her face to others: her eyes are big, but there are big bags under the eyes and crow's feet; her skin is delicate, but it is easy to loosen, "In recent years, how can my sister spend more than 100,000 yuan on her face!" she said. At that time, the flaked dander on the chapped lips seemed to fall off.
It was a sequelae of severe inflammation when she dyed her lips in her beauty salon. She attributed it to allergies.
Her face has been treated with photon rejuvenation, ultrasound knife, hot Maggie, hyaluronic acid, botulinum toxin, countless protein threads, and chin pads.
People familiar with her have seen her holding her face without a smile, and she has seen pits on her face that lasted for several months after the line carving, but only she knows that she developed allergies after injecting anesthetics in a small clinic Symptoms, the pain of having to stay in bed at home for a month.
She once tried every means to invite a "Korean thread carving master" directly to the country, opened a suite in a five-star hotel, and introduced her beauty guests to the hotel for direct thread carving surgery.
Seeing some guests, Li Jing was the first to lay down in front of the master to "proof samples" for everyone.
The "Master" didn't understand Chinese, so after looking at her face, he pierced her face with dozens of long and short threads.
She felt her face so tight that she couldn't even smile.
Two days later, she touched a small lump on her face, and pulled out a thread with her hand. It was the protein thread that the "master" buried her in her skin.
The effect of medical beauty is not as long as expected.
This year, she went to a clinic to do a mandibular sculpting upgrade. “I don’t know what’s going on. This time it’s very painful and tears can’t be controlled.” So far, there is still a depression near the corner of her mouth. The doctor told her, "I will grow well."
An insider in the micro-integration industry revealed to reporters that some small beauty shops and nail shops are currently doing beauty and nail business on the surface. In fact, they are quietly engaged in medical beauty. They have no qualifications, and they dare to buy a machine and dare to make various Kind of deceiving ads.
In Shanghai, in a beauty salon without any medical institution qualifications, when I heard that the reporter intended to do facial lift, the beautician immediately "sacrificed" the business card of another "flagship store" of his own, "Go here, they have Medical institution qualifications. You can do Remaggi and Photorejuvenation. One of my clients also had auto-skeletal rhinoplasty there."
The beautician told reporters that auto-skeletal rhinoplasty is to take out a rib from the patient's body and implant it in the patient's nose after trimming to achieve the effect of permanent rhinoplasty.
But when the reporter visited this so-called flagship store, the clerk could not show a valid medical institution qualification certificate, but the clerk said, "Our instruments are all certified by the US FDA and China CFDA, and the practicing team is also a medical team."
60 sets of honeycomb picosecond instruments "change" 2000 sets?
The FDA in the clerk's mouth refers to the Food and Drug Administration in the United States; CFDA is the Food and Drug Administration in my country.
All formal medical devices imported into China should obtain medical device certification issued by CFDA.
The reporter noted that "instrument" is an important criterion for practitioners in the medical aesthetics industry to prove to customers whether they are "regular".
The reason why some beauty salons that do not have the qualifications of medical institutions dare to declare themselves as "regular institutions" to customers. An important reason is that the "equipment" they use is formal.
However, Zhang Zhen, deputy chief physician of the Department of Dermatology and Laser Beauty, the Ninth People’s Hospital Affiliated to Shanghai Jiaotong University School of Medicine, told reporters that regular “instruments” with CFDA certificates belong to the category of “medical devices”, and these instruments can only It is operated and used by doctors or nurses in hospitals, outpatient departments or clinics with business licenses of medical institutions.
In other words, it is theoretically impossible for a beauty salon without a business license for a medical institution to obtain a medical device certified by the CFDA.
The so-called "regular instruments" in their hands are mostly "fake products" or equipment that has entered the country without legal channels.
The aforementioned industry insiders took the hot Maggie in the medical and beauty industry as an example. Genuine imported instruments cost more than one million yuan, while some domestically produced instruments can be bought for more than 10,000 yuan.
The laser head of genuine instruments has a fixed number of shots. Once the number of times of use reaches the upper limit, the laser head must be replaced before it can be used. "And for some very cheap copycat instruments, the laser head does not need to be replaced at all and can be used forever."
Zhang Zhen took the same popular honeycomb picosecond project as an example. At present, the only one in China that has both FDA and CFDA certification is the Picosure honeycomb picosecond instrument with a wavelength of 755nm.
However, according to Zhang Zhen’s verification with Sinoshow, the company only sold 60 honeycomb picoseconds to the Shanghai area. According to statistics, there are about 2000 various institutions in Shanghai claiming to use Sinoshow’s honeycomb picoseconds. .
Inferior equipment and non-professional practitioners' operations to the skin are irreversible.
It is not uncommon for Zhang Zhen outpatient clinics to get burns after an irregular hotmaggie operation. "Light blisters on the face, heavy blisters on the entire face. Cosmetic disfigurement." This kind of scald takes several weeks to several weeks. It will fade within a few months, and in severe cases, permanent scars will be left, and scars "can only be improved, not completely removed."
It is reported that thermage, honeycomb picosecond, and super picosecond are the most popular medical aesthetics items, but there are many dangers behind the popularity.
The reporter searched for "Remaggie" on a grassy platform and found thousands of bloggers' sharing, with anesthetic applied to the face, many bloggers "playing Remaggie" while sharing the whole process of the live broadcast, almost all bloggers All are recommending "Thermage".
According to Zhang Zhen, there are two products on the market, the fourth generation and the fifth generation, of which the fourth generation is a certified device approved by the CFDA, while the fifth generation has not yet been certified by the CFDA because it is relatively new.
This directly leads to formal medical institutions that can only use certified fourth-generation products, while many beauty salons can introduce fifth-generation products that have not yet been approved.
Zhang Zhen believes that Remaji needs a qualified medical practitioner to operate it. It is not something that a beautician can do after training. "Our hospital does a facial and neck (remaji) of 30,000 yuan. Some beauty salons It’s just a thousand yuan. The price is not enough for basic supplies."
The hidden danger behind the "flapping" big eyes
In recent years, "eyelashes" has become a popular new fashion among young people.
This kind of eyelashes is neither painful nor itchy, and it seems that the risk factor is low, but it can make the audience have a "flickering" feeling of big eyes.
Earlier, some media reported that someone inoculated with eyelashes caused inflammation of the eye follicles.
A judge of the beauty industry competition told reporters that the training cycle of an excellent eyelash artist may be as long as a year or even longer, but in some small shops, the so-called training is just a few people trying to pick each other's eyelashes several times. , I started directly.
At the same time, the materials used are also very different. "The price of a bottle of environmentally friendly glue is several hundred yuan, and we saw in some small shops that some people actually used that kind of inferior glue for tens of yuan a bottle for eyelash extension."
A beautician in a Shanghai beauty salon known as a professional "eyelash planting" told reporters that the price of eyelash planting here is about four to five hundred yuan, and "mink hair" is used, which is "soft, comfortable and realistic." Next to the beauty salon, the price of another shop is only 198 yuan.
"I have seen people who have swollen eyes after planting their eyelashes. Cheap prices are not good." The beautician said.
The reporter specifically interviewed Zhou Huifang, chief physician of the Department of Ophthalmology, the Ninth People's Hospital, Shanghai Jiaotong University School of Medicine. She told reporters that the so-called "eyelashes" on the market actually replaced the concept of "planting".
"The'species eyelashes' on the market now use glue to glue animal hair to human eyelashes, which has the effect of increasing and densifying the eyelashes." Zhou Huifang said, the so-called "species eyelashes" of "gluing" , May cause blockage of the meibomian glands at the roots of the eyelashes, loss of the lipid layer of the tear fluid, resulting in diseases such as dry eye, sty, and chalazion.
There are also some sweat glands distributed in the roots of the eyelashes, which will also be blocked by glue, blocking the excretion of the skin pores at the roots of the eyelashes, leading to inflammation and infection.
If the chemical components of the glue are more irritating, it can also cause problems such as conjunctivitis, keratitis, and corneal ulcers. These inflammations often occur repeatedly.
She told reporters that pasting animal hair on the eyelashes, on the one hand, increases the burden on the human body’s own eyelashes, and ultimately makes the eyelashes easier to fall off, causing bald eyelashes; on the other hand, human eyelashes have the effect of blocking dust and protecting the eyes, while animal hair The made false eyelashes not only cannot block dust, but also become a parasitic site for harmful substances such as dust and microorganisms.
The real "planting eyelashes" is to implant the live hair follicles of the human head into the eyelash growth area on the edge of the eyelid, rather than glue animal hair to the eyelashes.
"It needs to be operated by experienced practicing physicians and full-time nurses in a microscope environment. It is not something that any beauty institution can do after training." Zhou Huifang said that the real "eyelash planting" needs to be evaluated by a doctor before it can be operated. The charges are "calculated by the number of roots", and the general total cost is more than 10,000 yuan.
She reminded the majority of women who love beauty not to ruin their real eyes and eyelashes for a so-called, short-term, "flickering" big eye.
"First, if there is a need for beauty, you must go to a formal institution with qualifications for medical institutions; second, beauty is only relative. For some beauty items that may harm your health, you must weigh the pros and cons." Zhou Huifang said.
Zhang Zhen has been a doctor for many years and has seen many people who have done a wave of medical aesthetics and then come to do a wave of medical aesthetics projects in different parts. "Somewhat addictive. But for those patients who have repeated plastic surgery, we will do it according to the situation. Persuasion, after all, physical and mental health comes first."
Industry insiders call for chaos in the medical beauty industry and urgently need to strengthen supervision.
