Another Whitening and Black Technology, is Hyuna’s "Whitening Cabin" Really Useful?
Xiaohongshu is really a small world for people who love beauty. You can find the latest and hottest skin care, makeup, and weight loss methods. Some time ago, Huobian.com's skin-filling was done by Xiaohongshu. Recently, the skin-filling craze has decreased a lot. After all, there is no scientific basis to hurt the skin.
But as soon as the wave recedes, another wave will rise, right? Recently, the Japanese "whitening cabin" has emerged in the beauty circle.
To put it bluntly, the whitening cabin is actually a whitening machine. From the appearance, it looks like a sleeping cabin but it is not fully enclosed.
After entering the whitening cabin, the cabin will emit a red light. It is said that everyone only needs to lie quietly inside for 20 minutes to achieve the whitening effect effortlessly.

Judging from the user experience of everyone's po on Xiaohongshu, the whitening contrast before and after is very obvious, which is really exciting. I feel that I will say goodbye to the little black man a few times.
But just lying down and letting red light shine for 20 minutes, can it really turn white? What is the principle? Let's look down~
To say that this whitening cabin can really "fudge" people, although the "feedback reports" of users have visible changes to the naked eye, we have studied the scientific principles of the whitening cabin for everyone and found that the main effect is not Direct whitening!
Let's take a look at the whitening process of the entire whitening cabin.There are currently two types of operations:
The first: clean first, after showering, there will be someone to help you exfoliate your whole body, then apply a special whitening essence, lie in the whitening cabin and light for 20 minutes.
The second one is a little more complicated: the same first step is cleaning. After cleaning, you will drink a glass of enzyme water, and then perform the first light for 15 minutes. After the first stage of light is over, someone will help you apply the whitening essence, then light for 15 minutes.
What is Red Light ？
Currently, 90% of the whitening cabins on the market in China use red light as the main light source for whitening treatment.
Red light is a kind of integrated light wave, more than 90% of which belong to visible light with a wavelength between 600 and 700 nm.
In the beauty industry, red light does have skin care effects. Many beauty equipment products use red light irradiation technology, such as large row of lights.
Earlier studies have shown that 630~660nm infrared light is the most easily absorbed light by our skin tissues ，therefore, most of the red light of 633nm wavelength used in the whitening cabin is also in this range.
Unlike ultraviolet rays and lasers, red light with a wavelength of 633nm is a very soft red light wave that can penetrate the subcutaneous tissue of our skin less than 10mm.nm.
The Effect of Red Light
The main beauty effect of red light irradiation is to promote the regeneration of collagen.。
The principle of the whitening cabin is to apply the above-mentioned features to activate various enzymes throughout the body, especially the activity of proteases, through red light irradiation, thereby promoting collagen production.
Under the stimulation of red light irradiation, the activity of fiber cells will be increased. Fibroblasts are the main force of collagen in our skin. In this way, it can promote the regeneration of skin collagen.
Without generating high fever or burning the skin, light energy can be easily converted into intracellular energy, which accelerates the metabolism of our cells and expels degraded cells from the body in time.
To say how powerful red light promotes the regeneration of collagen and elastin, let's take a look at the experimental results to know.
NASA's medical experiments have proved that under the irradiation of red light with a wavelength of 633-660nm, the amount of collagen produced is five times more than the total amount produced under normal conditions. It can be said that red light irradiation is simply the "generator" of collagen production.
Collagen can restore the original elasticity of our skin, and it can also repair our damaged cells. This can help us effectively fight wrinkles, smooth out some small skin lines, and make the skin smoother and fuller.
In addition, the firmness of the skin will also be improved. A large amount of collagen regenerates, it will automatically fill our skin, and make the skin "pop" instantly.
Red light can also promote aerobic respiration of the skin and accelerate our blood circulation, thereby further improving the dull and yellow skin.
In addition, red light also has anti-inflammatory and antiseptic effects, and can also help prevent pigmentation such as wounds and acne.
It seems that red light does have many effects on beauty and skin care, but among so many effects, the whitening effect (pigmentation) is not its strong point. Could it be said that the whitening cabin illuminated by red light is a new scam?
After analyzing the main effects of red light irradiation in the whitening cabin, have you discovered that whitening is not the primary effect, but promoting the regeneration of collagen is the main thing.
In fact, this form of beauty is very common abroad, but there is also a large part of it that does call it: collagen cabin.
Earlier, Hyuna shared with you in a variety show that after tanning, she uses "light care" to manage her skin tone.
Let's take a closer look, isn’t the so-called whitening sunbathing that Hyuna says is our popular "whitening cabin" in recent days?
Hyuna shared with everyone that she would take a full body photo for 10 minutes in the beauty hospital every day to achieve the whitening effect.
It stands to reason that a whitening cabin that has no whitening effect should be a tasteless product, but why does Hyuna use it to manage skin tone? How to explain the before and after whitening comparison chart widely circulated in Xiaohongshu? Don’t worry, let’s look down together~
In order to understand the mystery of how everyone turned white, we deliberately went through some materials.
It is certain that collagen has a whitening effect. First of all, human skin tone is determined by the melanin in our skin. The more melanin, the darker the skin tone. Therefore, as long as it can effectively inhibit the production of melanin, it will have a whitening effect.
So how does this collagen inhibit melanin or dilute melanin?
Collagen contains polypeptides, and polypeptides can inhibit the activity of enzymes in the production of melanin, thereby reducing the amount of melanin formation.
In addition, it also contains a light spot factor, which can reduce the existing melanin while preventing the production of melanin.
This explains why the "collagen capsule" can also whiten.
Although collagen has a certain whitening effect, the effect is not as obvious as the comparison pictures on the little red book. Hyuna herself also "clarified" in the variety show that this machine only helps her restore the original skin color, and it cannot whiten quickly.
Whitening is actually metabolizing melanin in the body. The metabolic cycle of a cell carrying melanin is at least 20 days or more. Even if the whitening cabin is powerful, it cannot accurately recognize our melanin and metabolize it under 20 minutes of light.
Although this new machine is really effective in skin care, according to the brand's instructions, it must be used at least once a week for 10-12 weeks to be effective, which means that it takes at least 3 months to be effective.
So everyone should not easily believe those renderings with too obvious contrasts. In principle, the whitening cabin is a collagen regeneration cabin, which can help us achieve the effect of whitening and firming, but the ability is also limited.
As the saying goes: "One white hides one hundred ugliness", whitening should be a career that women have been pursuing all their lives in addition to losing weight. The young stars also took a lot of thought in private for their skin white and tender. Why not, let's take a look at what unusual path the actresses have taken on the road of whitening? What detours did you make?
Song Hye Kyo: Egg Whitening Method
Song Hye Kyo was once rated by netizens as "the best cosmetic spokesperson for Korean skin", which is quite a high praise. Is your skin good? It is important to look at the skin's fineness on the one hand, and on the other hand whether it is fair enough.
She has always paid attention to whitening, but she has her own secret recipe: egg whitening method. Mix the egg white of a fresh egg with a small spoonful of honey. Apply the liquid to the face and massage for 10 minutes before going to bed. After the egg liquid is air-dried, rinse it off with water.
What is the principle? The egg white in eggs can stimulate skin cells and effectively repair damaged facial skin; not to mention honey, it can be called a nourishing agent for skin cells. It can enhance the vitality of epidermal cells, promote the metabolism of skin cells, and improve the nutritional status of the skin.
However, we do not recommend that you frequently use honey to paste your face. The honey that you eat has not been processed. In fact, it contains a lot of macromolecules. Frequent use of honey on your face may cause clogging of pores and cause other skin problems.
Although eating honey can be directly applied to the face, everyone should pay attention to the concentration of honey. It is not recommended to use honey that is too concentrated, as it may have side effects on the skin. Girls who want to whiten safely, can choose some whitening products that contain honey ingredients.
Shen Mengchen: White Vinegar Whitening
Shen Mengchen's healthy complexion is also one of her signs, and she has also made frequent moves on the road to whitening these years. You can find a lot of whitening products by reading the little red book of the girl. Earlier, I even broke the news that my whole body was powdered, and I would make up if it was exposed.
This is nothing, the most ruthless thing is to reveal in "Miss Beauty" that he actually used white vinegar to wash his face for whitening. But as soon as the words fell, they were criticized by expert-level experts, saying that this was an earlier practice and could hurt the skin.
The principle of white vinegar whitening is actually to burn the stratum corneum of the surface layer by white vinegar to expose a new layer of skin, so as to achieve the effect of seeing white and tender skin.
But after long-term use like this, it will only make the skin more and more sensitive and the skin problems will become more and more, so the whitening method that stimulates the skin, I advise you not to try it, or use more whitening essence to maintain it~
Big s: anticoagulant whitening method
Compared with the big s, Shen Mengchen white vinegar washing face is simply a pediatrics. In order to have a fair skin, Da S has taken anticoagulants.
Anticoagulant was originally a medical product, a substance used to prevent blood clotting and thrombosis. It promotes blood metabolism by improving skin microcirculation, so as to achieve the effect of skin rejuvenation and beauty.
However, normal people taking anticoagulants have great side effects. It will cause the blood clotting function to be damaged, so that you can't clot normally, so a little knock or touch will cause a lot of bleeding.
One more thing, taking anticoagulant to whiten is not to make you white and rosy, but pale and white, which looks like you are sick. So don't try this method with great side effects for the sake of beauty.
Lin Chiling: Whitening injection
Whitening needle is a very common method of whitening medicine. In fact, the first whitening needle was a medical reagent used to protect the liver, but then it was discovered that this reagent has a "side effect"-whitening. Therefore, everyone now uses it as a whitening injection. Some time ago, sister Zhiling also generously admitted that she was getting a whitening injection.
The whitening injection is not a literal injection, but a combination of several drugs that can effectively reduce spots and lighten melanin, and inject them into the body through intravenous infusion.
It can reduce the formation of melanin and help skin whitening; the vitamin C component in the whitening needle can effectively remove free radicals from the skin, block melanin, and indirectly achieve the effects of sun protection and whitening.
But whitening injections are not without side effects at all. Some people experience nausea, vomiting and even irregular menstruation after the injection. Whitening needles contain VC components. If VC is over-injected, it is easy to cause kidney stones. The tranexamic acid in the whitening needle can also cause blood clots if used in large amounts for a long time.
Therefore, everyone should think twice before getting a whitening injection.
