Problem description:
Is Z-SUN the best non-invasive adsorption technology for safe freckle removal?
Analysis:
(A), chemical stripping method
Chemical peeling is one of the widely used freckle removing methods several years ago. This method has been tried in various forms in China since ancient times.
Such as corrosive stripping with caustic soda. However, due to the limitation of technical conditions, further pharmacological research cannot be carried out. The United States did not formally propose it until 1962. This method was first adopted by dermatological surgery, and later people used this method to treat spots, which is what we often hear in the beauty industry. It mainly uses chemicals to corrode the skin surface, causing contact dermatitis. When the scab falls off, the damaged skin disappears. In fact, "skin-changing therapy" is to achieve the purpose of freckle by forcibly peeling off the stratum corneum. Commonly used chemicals are benzoic acid, salicylic acid, trichloroacetic acid, fruit acid, flower acid and so on. Because this method has the characteristics of clear treatment target, relatively clear indications, short treatment time, quick effect, low cost and simple use, it was widely used at one time. But with side effects, this method has now disappeared.
(2), mechanical stripping method
Mechanical peeling, like chemical peeling, is also one of the widely used freckle removing methods. Its main feature is to achieve the purpose of freckle removal by burning, freezing and grinding pigmented skin. Commonly used methods are:
(1) Laser therapeutic lasers include He-Ne laser, argon ion laser, carbon dioxide laser, Nd-doped laser, dye laser, copper vapor laser, ruby laser, hydrogen laser, frequency doubling laser and so on 10. It is based on the principles of thermal effect, mechanical effect, photochemical effect and electromagnetic effect when light radiation acts on the skin. It acts on related pathological tissues by burning, carbonization, gasification and coagulation, so as to inactivate biological tissue enzymes and protein degeneration. Laser freckle removal is to use these instantaneous thermal and biochemical effects of laser to achieve the purpose of freckle removal. Because laser therapy is widely used and effective, it is also adopted by qualified beauty salons.
(2) Ultra-high frequency therapy Ultra-high frequency therapy is to use ultra-high frequency current to generate high fever and gasification when it acts on acupoints, and directly peel off superficial tissues to achieve the purpose of freckle removal. Although UHF therapy has the characteristics of high frequency, short wave length, strong penetration, easy to master and use, clear field of vision during operation, small wound and fast healing, expensive equipment has affected the wide application of beauty salons.
(3) Dermatization treatment Dermatization, also known as scraping, is a beauty technology that has developed rapidly in China. There are three kinds of polishing treatments: sandpaper polishing, wire brush polishing, silicon carbide polishing and stainless steel olive polishing, each with its own advantages and disadvantages. At present, the "stainless steel olive grinding method" is widely used in cosmetic surgery. This method uses the high-speed rotation of the grinding head to grind and peel off the stained skin to achieve the purpose of freckle removal, which has the characteristics of lasting curative effect and obvious effect. However, due to the difficulty of operation and strong technology, it is mostly used in plastic surgery in hospitals.
(4) Liquid nitrogen freezing Liquid nitrogen freezing technology is a new technology in the field of modern therapeutics. Cryotherapy is a comprehensive effect of cryobiology. Normal cells will be irreversibly damaged when they are extremely frozen. Its combination with beauty is also a hot topic in beauty salons in recent years, which is often used to treat freckles. After freezing, freckles will appear red papules, and separate blisters will form in about 3 hours. At this time, protein will freeze to death. After 3 days, the blister dried up and scabbed, and after 1 week, the scab skin fell off and the freckles fell off. Liquid nitrogen is widely used in beauty salons because of its ultra-low temperature of-196℃, colorless, odorless, tasteless, non-toxic, olefin-free, unexposed, easy source and low price.
Using the above peeling method to remove freckles has the characteristics of quick effect and wide application range, but practice has proved that the sequelae of this irritating treatment method can not be ignored. In particular, the problem of postoperative "pigmentation spots" is not easy to solve. In many cases of beauty complaints, many of them are getting darker and darker because of long-term dependence on some peeling cosmetics, which leads to repeated mechanical operation or allergic infection. In my opinion, beauty salons should try not to use peeling unless they have to. When it must be adopted, we must pay attention to the later protection.
(3) drug therapy
Western medicine's drug treatment of spots, except for common oral Ve and Vc, is mostly external. These drugs for external use are often used as effective ingredients of freckle-removing cosmetics. Commonly used effective components are arbutin, kojic acid dipalmitate, ascorbic acid, ellagic acid, fat-soluble extract of hay, glucosamine and so on. The freckle removing effect of these topical drugs is mainly achieved by inhibiting tyrosinase activity.
(4) Chemical bleaching method
In the field of freckle removal and beauty, although chemical bleaching is not recognized in theory, it has been flooded in the beauty market. Because it has the characteristics of "quick freckle removal", it caters to the psychological needs of customers who want to quickly freckle. Cosmetics such as "scrub cream" and "magic water" that are common in the market now belong to this category. Most of these cosmetics are added with some chemical bleaching agents, such as hydrogen peroxide, mercury chloride, etc., and some are prepared with high concentration of powerful hormones and hydroquinone. Some people also use hydroquinone monophenyl ether, which, like ATPA, belongs to melanocytotoxin. These melanocytotoxins used on the skin will lead to melanocyte death and permanent depigmentation. It is undoubtedly very harmful to add these restricted or prohibited substances to cosmetics. The author lists "chemical bleaching method" as a freckle removing method here, because although this method is not recognized, it occupies a large market. I just want to remind you, don't be eager for quick success for "miracle effect", you will regret it for the rest of your life.
Second, Chinese medicine freckle
Chinese medicine freckle removal is one of the important contents of Chinese medicine beauty, and it is also an important part of Chinese medicine. Traditional Chinese medicine freckle treatment, in the diagnosis and treatment, often uses internal sparse conditioning, external rubbing, external application, fumigation, external steaming and other methods, supplemented by meridians, acupuncture, catgut embedding and so on. Can be roughly divided into drug freckle and non-drug freckle two categories.
(A), Chinese medicine freckle
Chinese medicine freckle removal refers to the treatment method of using Chinese medicine to regulate viscera and balance yin and yang under the guidance of Chinese medicine theory, so as to achieve the purpose of freckle removal. There are three methods: activating blood and removing blood stasis, soothing liver and regulating qi, warming yang and tonifying kidney. Commonly used drugs are: peach kernel, safflower, Rhizoma Sparganii, Rhizoma Curcumae, Rhizoma Chuanxiong, Radix Paeoniae Rubra, Radix Bupleuri, Fructus Aurantii, Rhizoma Cyperi, Radix Curcumae, Radix Paeoniae Alba, Pericarpium Citri Reticulatae Viride, Radix Glycyrrhizae, Radix Aconiti Lateralis Preparata, Cortex Cinnamomi, Rhizoma Dioscoreae, Fructus Corni, Semen Cuscutae, Colla Cervi, Fructus Lycii, Radix Angelicae Sinensis, Cortex Eucommiae, Coicis Semen, etc. Optional ingredients: Tongqiao Huoxue Decoction, Taohong Siwu Decoction, Xiaoyao Powder, Gui You Pill, Guifu Bawei Pill, etc.
(B), non-pharmaceutical Chinese medicine freckle
Non-drug Chinese medicine freckle removal refers to a treatment method that achieves freckle removal without using drugs under the guidance of the basic theory of Chinese medicine beauty. It includes acupuncture therapy, qigong therapy and diet therapy.
(1) Acupuncture therapy is to give a certain amount of * * * to a specific part of the human body, which plays a benign role in regulating meridians, or to regulate the functions of yin and yang, qi and blood and viscera through the transmission of meridians, so as to achieve the purpose of removing spots and preventing spots. In Belgium, ear acupuncture therapy and ear tip bloodletting therapy, which are often used now, belong to this category.
(2) Qigong therapy Qigong therapy is an ancient health-preserving exercise method, which is based on self-exercise techniques such as "guiding", "resting", "adjusting the mind", "adjusting the breath" and "adjusting the shape", dredging the meridians, harmonizing qi and blood, coordinating viscera, and balancing yin and yang, so as to achieve the purpose of caring skin and removing spots.
(3) Dietotherapy Dietotherapy is a branch of Chinese medicine, and it is also a method to prevent spots by using the effects of cold, hot, warm and cool (salty, light, sweet, bitter and pungent) of diet on human body under the guidance of basic theories of Chinese medicine. When choosing dietotherapy to remove freckles, we should master the principles of "distinguishing body" and "dialectical eating" under the guidance of the basic theory of traditional Chinese medicine.
Third, comprehensive management.
According to the author's 30-year medical beauty work experience and research on pigmentation, it is considered that western medicine mostly adopts external treatment to treat symptoms, which has the advantage of quick curative effect, but the toxic and side effects are obvious and the curative effect is very unstable. Traditional Chinese medicine freckle is treated by internal adjustment, with radical treatment as the main method. Although the side effects are small and the curative effect is relatively stable, the curative effect is slow. Therefore, the combination of traditional Chinese and western medicine is an effective method to remove spots. The so-called "conditioning beauty" is simply "internal adjustment and external treatment, comprehensive management".
