Dr. Qi, director of the non-surgical center of Tianjin Plastic Surgery Hospital, is a famous non-surgical medical beauty expert.
Dr. Wang Hong, Beijing Vista Clinic, member of Chinese Medical Doctor Association.
Miss Li just had a pedicure in the beauty salon. Now she has a fever of 38℃, ten toes are swollen and pus is still flowing. The doctor diagnosed her with staphylococci, probably because the scissors and peeling pliers used for manicure carried the bacteria. After squeezing out pus and injecting antibiotics 10, she recovered. However, such a terrible experience still left her with a lingering fear. "I will still get a manicure, but I will bring my own tools. She said.
In fact, it is far more important to inspect the sanitary condition of a beauty salon than to see whether its price is attractive and whether its decoration is gorgeous. Many diseases, such as sexually transmitted diseases, skin diseases and respiratory infectious diseases, can be spread through public places such as beauty salons. Of course, you don't seem to have given up your beautiful career, so how to protect your own safety is very important.
1, pedicure troubles
Nothing is more comfortable than soaking your feet in a pot of flowers or Chinese herbal medicine. Is it true?/You don't say. There was once a pedicure house that was not hygienic enough, resulting in dozens of guests infected with mycobacterium; Some have not gone down for ten days, and some have to take antibiotics for several months.
You are vulnerable to condyloma acuminatum and fungal infection in the pedicure house. Ms Wang Hong, a general practitioner at Beijing Vista Clinic, explained, "These bacteria can easily multiply on moist skin.
Protect yourself
● Wash your hands with sterilized hand sanitizer and ask your technician to wash their hands before performing any beauty and manicure services (such as pedicure).
● The water stored in the water pipe of the foot bath is a paradise for bacteria, and it must be verified and disinfected every day.
● Don't depilate your legs on the day of pedicure or pedicure, even a tiny wound will give bacteria an opportunity. If your technician has a hand injury, you can reschedule, or find another technician, or let her wear gloves.
2. Precautions for manicure
Among the nail tools, the most dangerous one is the paring knife, which scrapes off your dead skin like a razor. If the technician is not careful, it is easy to cause a cut. This is even illegal in some American states, but many manicurists in China still do it.
In fact, many nail tools, such as nail clippers and nail file, may spread fungi, staphylococci, hepatitis B and hepatitis C viruses, and yes, even HIV! Even if the blood of a tiny HIV carrier sticks to the tool, it may lead to the misfortune of others! Dr. Wang Hong strongly suggested: "In any service you receive, if there is the possibility of injury and contact with blood and body fluids, you must choose disposable items.
Protect yourself
Ask Sharon how to disinfect these tools. The safest way is to put all tools in an autoclave overnight. At the very least, the tools should be disinfected after each customer uses them. The bottle of disinfectant should say: antibacterial, antifungal, antiviral, etc. Disinfected tools should be opened one by one.
● If you are still worried, bring your own.
● Say no loudly to the peeler pedicure! This is equivalent to a minor operation. It's easy to cut off dead skin with a knife, but you know what? In fact, the "dead skin" on the edge of nails can protect nails from bacterial invasion. If your dead skin is too thick, be sure to soak it in hot water first, and then let the technician gently thin it when the nails and skin become soft.
3. Allergy in the hair salon
Hair straighteners and hair dyes have always been the most complained hairdressing products. Dr. Wang Hong said, "I met a patient who had an allergic reaction after dyeing his hair, and his cheeks and eyelids were swollen, and later he even began to ooze fluid.
Protect yourself
● If you feel itchy scalp when dyeing your hair, stop the hairdresser immediately and wash off all hair dyes as soon as possible.
● Dr. Wang Hong also reminds you to go to the hair salon the day before you decide to dye your hair and ask the stylist to apply some hair cream on the inside of your elbow. If there is no allergic reaction after one day, dye your hair again.
In addition, the most common combs and brushes in hair salons are also unsafe. They may carry fungi, tinea and dandruff.
● If you see a hairdresser using the same comb for one customer after another, please bring your own next time. There may be dandruff on the comb in the barber shop!
4. Strict botulinum toxin
In 2006, a woman in California, USA, was seriously infected and died after receiving pseudobotulinum toxin injection. Many beauty salons in China carry out face-lifting projects by injecting botulinum toxin.
Director Qi of Tianjin Yi Meier Plastic Surgery Hospital stressed: "Botox injection must go to a regular medical institution and find a doctor for injection!
Director Qi said: "At present, only three countries in China, the United States and Britain can produce botulinum toxin commercially, while only one manufacturer in Lanzhou Institute of Biological Products is allowed to produce it domestically. Beauty salons can't get such strict state-controlled drugs. In addition to raw materials, the skills and experience of doctors are also crucial. Knowing the anatomy of dynamic human structure-which muscles on your face are moving when you talk or laugh-a clear-headed doctor can make' work' vivid and natural, rather than like a mask face. This is where the doctor's experience and skills are reflected.
Protect yourself
● Make sure that the institution holds the practice license of the medical institution, and the beautician in the beauty salon has no injection qualification.
● Beware of products with too low prices. The ex-factory price of botulinum toxin A is close to 1,000 yuan. Considering the skills of doctors and the sanitary conditions of hospitals, the market price is generally 2000 yuan 100, and the price in big cities may be higher. If the price of a shot of botulinum toxin is only a few hundred yuan, you should carefully consider its authenticity.
● Verify that the product you are using is brand new and unopened, and also verify the brand and manufacturer of the product again.
Resolutely say no to five kinds of salons
1, no business license. The Interim Measures for the Administration of Beauty Salon Industry of the Ministry of Commerce stipulates that the salon's business license, hygiene license, service items and charging standards should be hung in a prominent position on the salon wall, and every beauty salon and hairdresser should obtain the qualification certificate issued by the relevant state departments. Relevant departments will regularly rectify beauty salons and close those small facades without business licenses.
2. Cat and dog salon. They are really cute, but they bring hidden dangers to safety.
3. The bathroom is a mess. The cleanliness of the bathroom reveals whether it is a strict and hygienic beauty salon.
4. Don't wash your hands. All of us have bacteria on our hands, and sometimes Staphylococcus aureus. Washing hands with hand sanitizer with disinfection function can greatly reduce the chance of spreading diseases by hand.
5.* * * Use a towel. Towels and robes worn when cutting hair may spread germs, especially when wet. They should be replaced one by one and cleaned and dried in time.
