The effect is obvious but the maintenance time is short. "Many customers who have done Japanese osteopathy also think that the Korean effect “Better”; On the contrary, a Japanese-style osteopathy shop in Sanlitun said that Korean style mainly focuses on relaxing the fascia. “Their bones will move a little bit less here. Our Japanese style mainly focuses on bones. , It will also relax the fascia."

  The Chinese-style osteopathy store said, “The bones, muscles, and fascia will be operated in a complete set, and the results will be effective in a few minutes. Customers who have experienced Korean and Japanese styles come to our house because of poor results.

  From the price point of view, the single price of the three stores ranges from 700 to 3,000 yuan, and a course of treatment ranges from 10 to 20 times.

The clerk of Japanese osteopathy said that the effect of a facial osteopathy will last for about 7-14 days, and the dean will cost 2,980 yuan to do it personally, and the effect will be longer.

The clerk of the Korean osteopathy shop said that the single effect can be maintained within a week. After a course of 20 treatments, it can last for three to five years. If you want to continue to maintain it, you must regularly consolidate it.

Zhihu blogger: After paying 20,000 yuan for a face-lift, his face collapsed the next day

  Under the topic of "What are the terrible and shocking truths in the beauty industry?" on the topic of "What are the terrible and shocking truths in the beauty industry?", many people have recounted their failures. Among them, the blogger named @陈一丁 said that Xiaoyan is indeed an IQ tax. ,fake-science.

  "The beauty technician presses in the direction of the zygomatic arch and cheekbones in the direction of the apple muscle, using three or four fingers to rub the masseter muscle. At that time, the pain was almost crying." Chen Yiding said the technician did it while doing it. Helped her to reduce the edema, which lasted about forty minutes, and finally used a relatively hot instrument to make a lifting and tightening in circular motions.

  After measurement, the width of Chen Yiding’s cheekbones and mandibular angle was about one centimeter smaller. The store manager said that the effect could last for about a month and asked her to focus on treatment in the next month. After ten treatments, it can be fixed. Live effect.

Because he did not withstand the temptation of the clerk, Chen Yiding paid 20,000 yuan.

  When she got home at night, she found that her face was restored. When she woke up the next morning, she obviously felt that her face became very loose, the cheekbones were more obvious, the nasolabial lines were deeper, and the place where the forehead was pressed has been painful. .

After consulting the merchant, her request for a refund was rejected, and she fell into another "trap" under the stalemate: transferring the money to a 1,280 yuan body massage program.

Under the reminder of her friend, she chose the method of complaining and defending her rights. Fortunately, with the help of the industrial and commercial department, she successfully recovered the cost of 16,000.

  Ms. Wang of Tianjin is not so lucky.

In June 2019, in order to be beautiful, she performed facial osteopathy at a small face osteopathy shop in Tianjin that claimed to have free-hand plastic surgery. Not only did she not get any improvement, but her face was severely deformed. There is still no way to defend her rights.

  From the fourth treatment, Ms. Wang clearly felt that her cheekbones became taller and her face became concave. In this regard, the osteopath Li insisted that this was a normal process.

After performing the sixth facial osteotomy, Ms. Wang said, “I obviously felt that the strength of the osteotomy was great, and the pain was felt throughout. As a result, the face was severely red and swollen, the right cheekbones and mandible lines sank, and the nose became crooked. Now, the eyebrows and ears are high and the other is low.” However, to Ms. Wang’s anger, the agency also retouched the photos of her bones and put them in Moments for false propaganda before and after comparison.

  Ms. Wang told the Beijing Youth Daily that she went to the hospital after the accident. At first, the doctor thought she had suffered a trauma that caused the deformation of her face. After learning about the situation, she was told that she could only be relieved by facial filling.

  Ms. Wang said frankly that she also tried to use the 12315 website to complain about rights protection, but the staff of the Tianjin Heping District Market Supervision Bureau suggested that the two parties mediate to solve the problem, or protect rights through legal proceedings.

The shop where Ms. Wang does osteopathy is currently closed.

  A reporter from the Beijing Youth Daily contacted the so-called "teacher" who did osteopathy for Ms. Wang, and the other party said that "the store is temporarily closed, and on-site service is available."

When the reporter said that he wanted to learn osteopathy, the other party said that "theoretical study is seven days, and the rest needs to be practiced by yourself, and some students can do it in one month."

Expert: The so-called face is "smaller"

Or due to muscle and soft tissue injuries

  A reporter from the Beijing Youth Daily learned from the Beijing Science and Technology Association that as early as 2019, the association had refuted rumors about Xiaoyan's osteopathy, "The massage technique is non-invasive and has no side effects. Just bare hands massage and squeeze the fat, which can eliminate double chin and edema. By adjusting the bones and narrowing the gaps between the bones, you can become a beautiful V-shaped face" is a lie.

  The association stated that the suture is actually a pseudo concept.

According to the law of human development, after a girl is 16 years old, and a boy is 18 years old, the body has matured. The bones will not grow again, but there will be no joints.

The same is true for the skull. Except for the mandible and hyoid bone, the other bones or cartilage are firmly joined together and cannot move between each other. Therefore, it is impossible for the cheekbones to "push" after the osteotomy.

If the face really becomes smaller due to "bone treatment", it is actually a muscle and soft tissue injury.

  According to the introduction of Chinese medicine practitioners from Beijing Jishuitan Hospital, bone setting is a common clinical treatment technique in orthopedics and traumatology of traditional Chinese medicine. Bone setting technique can also be called osteopathy or osteosynthesis. It is based on the different types of fractures that the patient has. The method of restoring the deformed and broken bones to a normal functional position is the main function of the orthopedic method of traditional Chinese medicine.

  An orthopedic surgeon at the hospital also said that there is no theoretical basis for free-hand massage to eliminate bone gaps, because the so-called gaps do exist in infants and young children, but they usually close around two years old.

  He also said that human skulls are generally relatively strong, except for the weak part at the temporal point, most of them are not bad.

Except for the mandible, the remaining bones or cartilage of the skull are firmly joined together and cannot move with each other.
