Cosmetic injections are on the rise Around 2000, cosmetic injections gradually entered the medical market in China. The main application products are Botox for removing power wrinkles and fillers for replenishing volume, repairing depressions and perfecting facial contours. At present, minimally invasive cosmetic treatments are entering the homes of our people and are becoming more and more acceptable to the general public. This medical method of achieving cosmetic results through injections is the main way of minimally invasive cosmetic treatment. Why does cosmetic injection have such a broad social base? Why is there such a strong vitality of cosmetic injection? What is the beauty or the mystery of injectables? What are the risks of cosmetic injections? As one of the earliest experts in China who participated in the development of cosmetic injections, I would like to talk about the basic concepts. 1, as we all know, due to age, smoking, ultraviolet light, unhealthy diet, sleep habits, and usually do not pay attention to the skin care, etc., coupled with the gravitational force of gravity, it will cause the reduction of skin collagen and elastic fibers, accelerate the metabolism of skin hyaluronic acid reduction, causing skin luster decline, elasticity weakening, rough skin aging, wrinkles, sagging. 2, botulinum toxin is a kind of natural protein strictly extracted and purified by medical science, after injection can temporarily block the transmission of local motor nerve mediators, have to relax local muscle strength, reduce the volume of local muscles, reduce the secretion function of skin glands. The two types of botulinum toxin are: Henley, produced by the Lanzhou Institute of Biological Products in China, and BOTOX, imported from the U.S. The two drugs are basically the same in principle. My clinical experience is that the imported one has a softer effect and produces a more refined effect. In terms of decades of clinical experience, Botox is currently the mainstay of cosmetic injections and is a safe and effective medical aesthetic method, and is a reversible medical aesthetic treatment. 3, medical filler (including autologous fat) is another cosmetic method in medical aesthetics to “supplement and add” to beautify the appearance. It is injected in a part of the face to improve the wrinkles and depressions on your face due to the loss of volume: such as lines, corners of the mouth, Kawasaki lines, tear troughs, deep head lines; it can also be injected to improve your contour curve: nose augmentation, temple augmentation, chin augmentation, apple muscle augmentation, cheek augmentation, earlobe augmentation, lip augmentation, creating sleeper silkworms, building lip beads, high brow arch, filling facial depressions, etc. It can even be used for facial water retention and rejuvenation, and lifting. At present, the most used and safest filler in China is hyaluronic acid (commonly known as hyaluronic acid). Representative products: Sweden’s “Ruilan”, South Korea’s “Ewan”, domestic “Haiwei”, “Runbayan “Shu Yan”. The national brand hyaluronic acid “Haiwei” produced in Shanghai is the representative, they are an old factory producing medical hyaluronic acid, with rich production experience, combined with the application of first-class core technology in Europe and the United States, has a very good shaping and filling effect. Of course, as a commonly used autologous fat grafting, it is also one of the choices of filling agents. Especially when a larger volume filling is needed, the cost-performance advantage of autologous fat grafting is highlighted. 4. Cosmetic injection requires aesthetics, medical science and medical technology to guarantee. The patient should have an objective and calm mind: cosmetic both products and techniques are effective and limited, costly, little painful, and also have different degrees of risk: asepsis, anatomical knowledge, and medical technology are needed. For the operator, it must be a doctor, necessary medical ethics, must use regular products, and strict and serious fine responsibility, in order to maximize the control of risk. Safe and effective beauty is the desire of the public, but also the responsibility of the doctor.
