The so-called "whitening needle, whitening pill, whitening strategy" is actually a commercial stunt?
It is understood that the ingredients in Whitening Needle, whitening pill and Whitening Raiders are mostly antioxidant ingredients, including glutathione, tranexamic acid, vitamin C, etc. In theory, glutathione helps the body to detoxify and also helps cells to resist oxidation. Tranexamic acid can be used to control the enzymatic action of melanin and reduce the formation of melanin; Vitamin C, also known as ascorbic acid, also has antioxidant effect. These ingredients are mainly used to protect the liver, and only some people will have "side effects" of skin whitening, so the medical community has not conducted large-scale clinical trials to see if it really has whitening effect on most people.
In this regard, Wu Sufan, director of plastic surgery in Zhejiang People's Hospital and member of plastic surgery branch of Chinese Medical Association, pointed out: "The problem of whitening needles has existed for many years. In fact, the words' whitening needle, whitening pill and whitening strategy' are a kind of hype, because there are no drugs called whitening needle, whitening pill and whitening strategy at all, and there is no academic definition of whitening needle in textbooks, which is entirely a folk name. I have studied medicine for so many years and have never learned the concept of' whitening needle, whitening pill, whitening strategy'. "
"At present, the so-called whitening needles, whitening pill and whitening strategies used in the market generally combine several drugs that can lighten skin spots and input them into the human body through veins to achieve the purpose of lightening spots and beautifying the skin. Whether this treatment is really effective and whether intravenous medication is safe has not been confirmed by clinical trials and recognized by the medical community, so don't blindly accept whitening injections. From the price point of view, if you take out the list of several ingredients inside, they are all very cheap drugs. According to the name of' whitening needle', the price will rise to thousands or even tens of thousands of yuan, which is a false high price. "
Director Wu Sufan said: "Whitening Needle, whitening pill and Whitening Raiders are common names among the people, and they are also marketing methods of businesses. As for some institutions, it is even more doubtful that their products are imported whitening compound preparations. Because the requirements for intravenous medication are very strict, there must be the approval number and indications of the State Food and Drug Administration, otherwise it will be illegal. "
The so-called whitening miracle has not been confirmed?
Zhou Quan, deputy section chief of Pharmacy Department of the Second Hospital of Zhejiang Medical University, said: "One of the main components of Bai Mei Needle, whitening pill and Bai Mei Raiders is glutathione, which is a peptide naturally synthesized in human cytoplasm, consisting of glutamic acid, cysteine and glycine, and contains sulfhydryl groups, which are widely distributed in various organs of the body and play an important role in maintaining the biological function of cells. In clinical application, glutathione is mainly used to protect liver, detoxify and resist oxidation. The instructions did not mention that it can be used for whitening and can be used to prepare injections at will, which is completely wrong. "
"It is even more ridiculous that whitening needles, whitening pill and whitening strategies are mixed with tranexamic acid for injection." Zhou Quan said, "Tranexamic acid, also known as tranexamic acid, is mainly used for all kinds of bleeding caused by acute or chronic primary fibrinolysis. Excessive use of indications will have potentially serious consequences, such as thrombosis. There are clinical examples of taking tranexamic acid tablets orally to treat chloasma, but doctors can only prescribe it after evaluating the risk. When used as an injection, the state only approves the use as a coagulant. "
CCTV exposed whitening needle, whitening pill and whitening strategy, resulting in kidney function loss.
65438+February 1, CCTV's "Weekly Quality Report" program revealed that whitening needle could not turn white after injection, but caused renal function loss. Miss Li from Jiangsu spent 1000 yuan on 8 whitening needles in the beauty salon she usually went to. However, when she injected the fourth injection, she went to the hospital for examination and found that her kidney function was damaged due to severe backache.
The CCTV reporter learned that the relevant state agencies have never approved any injection for whitening beauty. The so-called "whitening needle" can not only whiten the skin, but also bring many health threats.
Experts pointed out that the unreasonable price is not the main harm of whitening needles, but the real hidden danger of beauty lovers is arbitrary proportion and disorderly use.
