Does whitening injection really have side effects?

In recent years, there are various ways and methods of beauty treatment, among which whitening injections are a common one. Whitening injections can make your skin whiter and have a certain effect in preventing the production of melanin. However, if not treated properly, it may cause great harm to the body, especially kidney damage. For women, it can easily cause endocrine disorders, lead to delayed menstruation, and even cause some infectious diseases.

1. Cause kidney damage

Some doctors say that in addition to glucose and some whitening and antioxidant ingredients, whitening injections may also contain mercury. Excessive mercury will cause damage to the liver and kidneys. A certain satellite TV station once conducted a test on the safety of whitening injections. They injected whitening injections into rabbits. When the rabbits were examined in the third month, it was found that their liver and kidney functions were damaged. This also illustrates a problem: although the skin of some people who have received whitening injections has become whiter, their liver and kidneys have been damaged, but this cannot be seen from the outside.

2. Delayed menstruation and reduced menstrual flow

The whitening injection contains an active ingredient called tranexamic acid, which has a hemostatic effect. This has led to some people experiencing side effects of delayed menstruation and reduced menstrual flow after receiving the whitening injection.

3. Long-term injection can cause hormone dependence

Due to the mixed quality of whitening injections on the market, and the fact that whitening injections themselves have not been approved by our relevant ministries, some whitening injections contain steroid hormones, so long-term use will cause hormone dependence and hormonal dermatitis.

4. Cause infectious diseases

A pharmacist from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration said: For consumers, in addition to the uneven quality of whitening injections and potential risks, inappropriate or unsafe injection procedures can also cause the risk of infectiousness and infection.
