Recently, social concerns are growing as false and exaggerated drug advertisements with phrases such as certification of experts, etc., have increased rapidly, focusing on online and SNS. In particular, some advertisements require special attention as their methods are gradually evolving, such as cleverly misleading consumers by suggesting 'artificial intelligence (AI) fake doctors' similar to actual medical staff.

Experts said that many of these advertisements contain information whose actual clinical effects have not been verified or exaggerated, and urged special attention to purchasing products with unfounded efficacy.

◇'the thread lifting cream','the dermatologist recommendation','the truth of 'the wrinkle improvement' in a full day'




In fact, if you look at an advertisement published online, it introduces cosmetics that are applied by 'seal lifting cream'. At the same time, phrases such as 'used in famous hospitals' and 'improve skin wrinkles in a short period of time' are also used to advertise. Accordingly, the specialist points out that it is practically difficult to achieve the same effect as thread lifting with the cream applied.

Cho Min-young, president of the Taut Clinic (Pengnui Clinic), a medical institution specializing in thread lifting, pointed out that `Seal lifting is a procedure that pulls up physically sagging skin by inserting special threads into the dermis or subcutaneous tissue in the skin.''"Since applied cosmetics only work up to the skin epidermal layer, they cannot make structural changes such as lifting effects.'

In addition, there are other false and exaggerated cosmetic advertisements distributed on SNS. In other advertisements, ampoules are advertised using provocative phrases such as 'Dermatologist Recommendation' and 'Excellent in improving wrinkles'. This is also an exaggerated advertisement that makes it appear to have medical or therapeutic effects, despite the lack of actual clinical evidence.




Director Cho Min-young emphasized that `It is not easy to obtain dramatic skin improvement only with cosmetics without medical treatment' and"customized counseling by professional medical staff is essential for safe and effective procedures.'

◇"Losing more than 10kg in one month"…Be careful of dry food and massages

In addition, if you look at the advertisement provided on the online video platform, actual medical staff appear by using expressions such as 'Professor Choi OO's obesity treatment method' and 'Losing 10kg per month without exercise'. These videos were created using 'Deepfake' technology. It created a sense of trust by synthesizing the face and voice of a specific person or creating a virtual person. In the meantime, it is a method of promoting health functional foods or low-frequency massagers.




Chae Kyu-hee, CEO of 365mc Nowon branch, said "These advertisements generally emphasize short-term effects, but it is difficult to expect the same weight loss effect due to insufficient clinically verified results.""Diet dry food may have different effects depending on an individual's constitution and health condition, and some ingredients may put a burden on organs such as liver and kidney when overdosed, so caution is needed.'

Director Chae also said that it is difficult to expect a diet effect even for the low-frequency massager advertised with the so-called 'Belly fat-losing massager'. He said "The low-frequency massager on the market uses weak electrical stimulation to stimulate the shallow muscle layer under the skin"Unless you do muscle exercise at the same time, the stimulation is weak, so it is difficult to expect a fat decomposition effect with a single use"I dismissed it.

"On the other hand, medical low-frequency massagers are designed to reduce fat by stimulating deep muscles in the skin using high-intensity integrated electromagnetic field energy. "Rather than believing in the diet effect of the advertisement, it is desirable to choose them in consideration of the actual purpose and use of the product."," he said.
