Can whitening needles really keep people young? The reporter asked several cosmetic medical experts. When they heard the whitening needle, their first reaction was surprise. They told reporters that they had never heard of any regular hospital in China being allowed to carry out this service.
"Glutathione, the main component of whitening needle mentioned by Big S, is a commonly used medicine, which can detoxify and promote human metabolism. Clinically, it is often used as an auxiliary drug for digestive system diseases and liver diseases, which has a certain protective effect on the injury after radiotherapy. Tranexamic acid is what we often say. It is a hemostatic and is often used in cases of abnormal bleeding after surgery. " Li, director of the Pharmacy Department of Guangzhou Red Cross Hospital, reminded that glutathione and tranexamic acid are both drugs. If they are injected in large quantities without illness, it will increase the burden on the liver and kidneys, interfere with the balance of the body and inhibit other normal metabolism. Especially tranexamic acid, if used excessively, will lead to intracranial thrombosis and even cerebral infarction.
Professor Liu Dalie, director of plastic surgery in zhujiang hospital, Guangdong Province, said that glutathione is a metabolite between amino acids and protein, which can be chemically synthesized or extracted from animal viscera and tissues. Theoretically, it is helpful for body whitening, but it can be used as whitening needle and needs to be treated with caution. Where the effective components of injection are extracted and whether there are impurities, the effect after injection is different. Only after animal experiments and clinical experiments by the Food and Drug Administration prove that it is really safe and effective can it be introduced.
As for the formulation of detoxification, Liu Jiaoshou pointed out that it is not a scientific medical concept. In fact, blindly reducing melanin is not a good thing, especially with this method of intravenous injection. "Some patients overuse freckle cream, leading to hypopigmentation, but produce local white spots. There are many examples. " He said that everyone's situation is different and their physique is different. Even if whitening needle has been approved, clinical use still needs effective monitoring.
In addition, as big S said, whitening needles need to be dripped, which undoubtedly belongs to the category of medical beauty. Regardless of whether this drug has been officially approved by the drug supervision department, injection is definitely not allowed in general beauty salons.
