Skin like ice and snow, delicate as a virgin – in ancient times it was often used to describe the appearance of women’s posture. Today, women’s desire for whiter skin has reached an unparalleled level, and the paradox is that we are yellow. This split between inner pursuit and reality drives many girls crazy. Whitening cosmetics are always available, and bottles and jars are applied carefully, day after day and year after year, but careful maintenance can reduce some pigmentation and add some white. But this speed and strength, the modern people is absolutely intolerable. Not to mention that can only deal with the face, the whole body application without that effort, but also a little costly silver. Girls look forward to a fast-acting, full-body whitening, permanent maintenance of the magic tool. This time a celebrity named Big S introduced in her beauty book something called a miracle weapon – whitening needle. It’s a good thing that you can whiten your whole body with an infusion. The Great Wall and the Great River were in and out of favor for a while, and whitening needles quickly became popular. The beauty salon clinics have launched various names of whitening injection packages, the price is thousands to tens of thousands. Since then, the discussion between the academy and the journeyman school about whitening needles has also been going on. 1, the life of the whitening needle: whitening needle born in where, to be honest, there is really no way to verify, said the Korean, said the Japanese, more said Taiwan. It is said that Japan and South Korea because they are applied earlier and have strong goods and market; it is said that Taiwan is because hepatitis is prevalent in Southeast Asia, and it is accidentally found that it can make the skin white when the liver injection is given. By now there is little point in pursuing the birthplace of whitening needles, in short, it is very low-key in its birthplace and very high-profile in its growth. 2, the identity of the whitening needle: according to the current summary of various news, whitening needle has three main ingredients: tranexamic acid, glutathione, vitamin C. Tranexamic acid (tranexamic acid), translated as tranexamic acid in Taiwan (that’s what the big S is called), also known as hemostatic cyclic acid in the mainland, also called Toxamine. The pharmacopoeia or instructions are used to stop bleeding: for acute or chronic, limited or systemic primary hyperfibrinolysis caused by a variety of bleeding. The Baidu encyclopedia has added the whitening effect with the times “its effectiveness in reducing darkness and removing spots is about 50 times higher than that of vitamin C and nearly 10 times higher than that of fruit acids”. Tranexamic acid, due to the similar structure with tyrosine part, can competitively inhibit tyrosinase and thus reduce the formation of melanin, which is its main mechanism of whitening. It can be said that tranexamic acid is one of the most powerful ingredients of whitening injections. Glutathione, which is a tripeptide compound composed of glutamic acid, cysteine, and glycine, is notable for its high reducing antioxidant capacity and is therefore commonly used for the protection of internal organs such as the liver. Due to the active sulfhydryl group in its molecule, it can inhibit tyrosinase activity and inhibit the formation of melanin protein, so it also has whitening effect. Vitamin C (vitamin C), which is too common, also has a reducing effect, inhibiting the oxidation of dopa and reducing the melanin already formed in the skin to a colorless substance and making melanin water-soluble. At this point, you may understand that the ones with antioxidants may be associated with whitening. Different manufacturers, different beauty institutions will additionally add some ingredients to make their own whitening injections distinctive, which may have the shadow of some herbal extracts, such as ginkgo extract. 3, the effect of whitening needles: about the effect of whitening needles, I believe that open the search engine, you can fill the screen. But open the forum, the spit is also seen time and again. That whitening needle has no effect? The answer is yes, but (unfortunately there is always a comma after the but exists) not so good. Everything is becoming deified because of word of mouth. Whitening by whitening injections can only be a certain degree of improvement from the original base, never a revolutionary change. In addition, because whitening this use is not into the pharmacopoeia, into the manual, the regular large hospitals are not infused. At present, in the academic world, mainly for melasma treatment, can reduce 1-2 scores, that is to say, to reduce the pigmentation, but note that the reduction is not eradication. 4, whitening injection is safe: drugs are after all drugs, it enters the body to metabolize, and drugs are metabolized by the liver and kidneys, inappropriate application is bound to cause liver and kidney burden, and even damage. Tranexamic acid, hemostasis is its primary feature, so there is a history of cerebrovascular disease, thrombotic disease, the injection may be fatal. If it enters the cerebrospinal fluid, there may be central nervous system symptoms such as blurred vision, headache, dizziness, and fatigue after injection. There are also reports of causing shock. There is also the issue of contraindications to pairing, intravenous infusion is not a cocktail, the more splendid and beautiful the better. Irrational compounding can turn the elixir into poison. Of course, the allergic body is even more dangerous. In addition, multiple intravenous injections will certainly add to the risk of infection. 5, there is no alternative way: If you do want to whiten, first of all, pay attention to sun protection, a person who does not pay attention to sun protection protection also whitening and rejuvenation is an impractical person. Secondly, regular diet and living, eat more fruits and vegetables, less late at night. I do want to use medicine, in line with the principle of being able to take it orally not intravenously, I recommend taking it orally. Many ingredients, including glutathione, which is very easy to oxidize, could only be given intravenously in the past because they were prone to oxidation and deterioration. Nowadays, with the advancement of technology, almost all of them can be administered orally with almost no difference in efficiency and depletion rate. Of course, you can’t just go to the pharmacy and buy and take it on your own after reading the name of the drug I introduced. Tranexamic acid is a prescription drug, and the dose and duration of its administration varies for different purposes. If applied improperly, it may cause serious complications. In fact, in addition to medication, you can also combine to do photon, laser and other treatments, laser can selectively act on the pigment, reduce the pigment, brighten the skin tone, in addition to all a bit of skin tightening effect. In short, whitening is a project, hoping to take two days of medicine and three days of injections to quickly whitening, skin replacement, that is not realistic.
