Specialist Doctor I Bui Thi Thu Thao, Head of the Cosmetic Department, Dong Nai Dermatology Hospital (Trang Dai Ward) emphasized that medical-standard beauty is a safe and effective direction and is increasingly trusted and chosen by people.
Safe and effective long term
Doctor, could you please explain more about the concept of medical beauty?
- Medical-grade beauty is understood as beauty methods from basic skin care to specialized cosmetic procedures that must be performed based on a legitimate scientific basis, with a scientific basis permitted by the Ministry of Health . These methods include treatment processes, products, and equipment used that must be licensed by the competent authority. The person performing the procedure, whether a dermatologist, cosmetic surgeon, or technician, must ensure expertise, understanding of anatomy, physiology, and body reactions. Ensure sterility, avoid the risk of infection or complications that may occur when performing specialized acne skin care support methods, invasive beauty methods or damage to the skin surface such as: acne extraction, microneedling, and techniques using injection needles.
Summer is the tourist season, people are exposed to more sunlight, so sunburn, insect-borne dermatitis, and contact dermatitis increase. People need to pay attention to implementing good sun protection measures to prevent skin diseases during the hot season.
What are the current beauty techniques performed at Dong Nai Dermatology Hospital, doctor?
- The hospital currently provides a full range of services from basic skin care to advanced skin treatment techniques.
Treatment and skin care support techniques such as: acne skin care, routine skin care - aging, irritated skin care, skin peeling, skin care with Mesotherapy technique, biological light...
High-tech techniques such as: filler injection; PDL color laser to treat telangiectasia, vascular birthmarks. Melasma treatment technology, tattoo removal with pigment laser Nd-YAG Laser, QS Laser, especially Pico Laser. Skin rejuvenation techniques, scar treatment with RF microneedling, CO2 Fractional Laser, face and body slimming and fat reduction techniques: high frequency electromagnetic wave technology (RF), high intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU). In addition, mesotherapy injection techniques, botulinum toxin injection in melasma treatment, skin wrinkle removal are the most chosen by women at the hospital today.
Filler injection technique is considered an "instant rejuvenation" method. So what should we pay attention to when performing this technique, doctor?
- This is a difficult technique, requiring the performing doctor to have a high level of expertise and a good understanding of the body's anatomical structure. Choosing the right filler for each indication is also very important to ensure effectiveness and avoid possible side effects or complications. However, not all subjects can be injected, this method depends on many factors such as age, skin surface structure, underlying diseases, etc. Therefore, customers need to be examined and consulted by a doctor and understand clearly before performing.
Avoid "losing money and getting sick"
Recently, has the hospital received any cases of complications due to unsafe beauty treatments, doctor?
- Recently, we have received many cases of skin complications due to customers using cosmetics of unknown origin or using melasma removal methods at outside beauty facilities.
More serious injuries include lumps, bruises or pain after the “melasma removal - skin tightening” treatment, collagen injection to create a V-line chin, and nose lift. Recently, there have been many cases of skin infections that have come to the cosmetic department after “acne treatment” treatments at spas in the province.
Doctor, how does the hospital handle such accidents?
- Depending on the type of skin damage, after examination, doctors will provide a treatment regimen and advice on recovery care to overcome skin damage. In addition to treatment methods for patients, doctors advise patients to understand their current skin problems and give recommendations on choosing beauty methods after overcoming complications and issues of skin care maintenance at home.
Many people with acne often squeeze their own pimples or go to spas to have them removed. Can all types of pimples be squeezed, doctor?
- When having acne, people often think first of squeezing acne or using products advertised as being able to get rid of acne in one application or "natural" acne treatment products as advertised or folk methods.
We recommend that if acne shows signs of inflammation, pus or frequent recurrence, people should go to a medical facility for examination, prescription and proper treatment. Choosing the wrong method from the beginning can lead to permanent damage that is costly to treat later, and the results are not as expected.
Doctor, do you have any advice for people, especially women, when it comes to beauty?
- Beauty is a legitimate need, but don't let "instant beauty" cloud your mind. Carefully research the place you intend to go to for beauty treatment. Is it a licensed medical facility?; Is the person performing the procedure a professional?; Is the equipment inspected? In particular, don't believe in the advertisement "do it once and be beautiful for life". Beauty is a journey that requires investment in the right place, in the right way, and with the support of a professional doctor. Most importantly, safety and health must be put first.
Medical beauty is an investment in long-term health and beauty. Beauty comes from understanding and smart choices. Be beautiful responsibly with your body.
Thank you doctor!
