Is silica gel harmful to human body?

Introduction: Silica gel itself is not toxic, but some silica gels are mixed with additives harmful to human body. The main component of silica gel is silica, which is chemically stable and non-toxic. Silica gel has strong adsorption capacity and can dry human skin. If silica gel enters the eyes, it should be washed with plenty of water and treated by a doctor as soon as possible.

Silicon is the most common plastic cosmetic filler. For example, solid silica gel can be used for nose augmentation and chin augmentation, and silica gel can be used for breast augmentation and hip augmentation. However, if these materials are filled into the human body, will they cause harm to the human body?

Silicon is a chemical element and the most abundant element in the earth's crust. Its compounds usually make up sand, rocks and glass. Silica gel is considered to be the most suitable material for implantation in human body, and all humans have some silica gel in their bodies. Silicone is widely used in medical equipment, pharmacy, food and other fields.

Silica gel materials have been used in consumer goods for more than 50 years, and many products that people use daily contain silica gel, such as hair gel, sunscreen lotion, moisturizing cream and so on.

Silica gel can also be used as the outer membrane of pacemakers and heart valves, thus playing a protective role. Other medical devices using silicone include artificial joints, catheters, urinary systems, maxillary implants, tissue expanders and prostheses. Silica gel products have biocompatibility, reliability and stability, and are easy to sterilize. Therefore, whether the medical device product is implanted in human body or not, silicone material can be applied.

Guiding opinions:

Silicon material has a long history of use and is one of the most suitable prosthetic materials for implantation in human body. But any substance is more or less harmful to human body. It depends on how you choose during the operation.
