Many Asians are very fair naturally especially those who stays in countries with 4 seasons e.g. japanese & koreans. So its' not purely a caucasian thing.

I dont see anything wrong with having these jabs because they are like concentrated Vitamin C, it's quite similar to people taking Vit C supplements in pill form.

I've recently started on these jabs & have seen favorable results too. The good thing is that the effect is throughout the body. :D Normal whitening creams can only enhance fairness on the face. :(

People assume its the Govt responsibility to check all these products and if its available that must mean its OK. The reason its not regulated is because of a legal loop hole in most countries. These are considered cosmetic treatments, they do not come under the Pharmacy and Poisons and Medical Registration Ordinance.

There is little scientific evidence to confirm manufacturers claims.

The key ingredient in skin whitening drips is glutathione, a strong antioxidant for treating cancer and AIDS. Its side effects include nausea, vomiting and stomachache and even be lethal if overused, according to the Department of Health. Another ingredient, tranexamic acid, could lead to liver failure.

Under the law, if the substance used in a cosmetic injection is not a pharmaceutical product, such as glutathione, there is no legal requirement on its use.

The tranexamic acid you are talking about is too high risk for bleeding, so it’s not one of the ingredients. You got it wrong.
:P

There’s only 2 ingredient in the jab I took, its glutathione and Vit C.
:D

Fortunately I'm not into necromania. I cannot stand girls with cadavar like skins. It's would be like trying to bed a corpse. Give me a girls with tan lines so I know she's healthy and alive and active any day. Only natural redheads are allowed to be "lily white"!

feline.eyes. Trying to convince everybody that the PS is to resemble the other Asians with western noses and double eyelids? What's the matter? Can't accept the obvious? If that was the reason what the majority wants then why is it that they normally will tell people that they want the "Eurasian" or "Pan-asian" look? Let's face it the slim minority of Asians with western features is probably a heck of a lot less than the 50% you claim (please quote us your source).

One good thing can come from all this though. It will keep the medical fraternity in good incomes in the future because of all the poisons you all keep putting into your bodies. You never think about the long term effects of all this junk.

I really can't believe that these treatments are good for your skin.
If people want to stay out of sunlight and the harmful effects then OK but to put unnecessary chemicals into your body for what will be a short term result can not be good for your skin.
Don't these treatments make your skin more sensitive to the harmful rays of the sun and more likely to get skin cancers ?? You will surely loose some of your natural resistance to the damage the sun can do..... I don't know the answer to this and am not a doctor - but logically I would think the answer is yes...

I am also sure I read that when you stop these treatments then your skin returns to its 'normal' tone/colour.

I think that to have healthy clear skin - whatever the colour - is much more beautiful than the two tone neck/face look I have seen on lots of women both here and in Hong Kong. Can anyone honestly say Michael Jackson looks better the colour he is now.....

Head down to your favorite dodgy bar, where you'll find lots of ang mohs who'd be delighted to offer complimentary white beef injections.
