Are Beauty Instruments Harmful to the Skin?

Proper use of beauty devices generally does not cause harm to the face; however, improper use of beauty devices can cause certain harm to the face, and it is recommended to seek treatment at a formal hospital promptly to avoid self-medication with beauty devices. Beauty devices can achieve the effects of skin whitening, rejuvenation, spot removal, and wrinkle removal by stimulating skin tissue through radiofrequency or ultrasound methods. If treated at a formal hospital, the degree of skin damage is relatively minor, and the treatment effect is more obvious.

However, frequent use should be avoided to prevent irritation to the skin mucosa. If attention is not paid to operational norms or if beauty devices are frequently used, it may lead to increased irritation of the skin mucosa, manifesting as symptoms such as redness, swelling, pain, burning sensation, and stabbing pain. If proper care is not taken after the skin is irritated, it may induce bacterial infection, leading to symptoms such as pus and ulceration in the local skin mucosa.

If the degree of skin irritation after using beauty devices is severe, it is necessary to seek prompt treatment at a formal hospital and stop using the beauty device to prevent further irritation of the skin mucosa. If infection is present, medication such as erythromycin ointment, fusidic acid cream, and tacrolimus ointment can be used under medical advice to improve symptoms. Daily attention should be paid to facial skin care, avoiding the use of strongly irritating cleansing products. If skin lesions occur, prompt medical diagnosis and treatment are recommended.
