As COVID-19 (novel coronavirus) spreads, wearing masks has become a daily routine for citizens. As of the 13th, despite a slowdown in the increase of COVID-19 cases, citizens' anxiety, considering the incubation period, continues to lead to consistent mask-wearing. Compared to the previous MERS outbreak, which resulted in actual deaths, the mask-wearing rate among citizens was about 80%, approximately five times higher. While the normalization of mask-wearing has improved prevention against COVID-19 and fine dust, significant side effects have also been raised.
The American Thoracic Society warns that wearing protective masks makes breathing difficult, causing physical strain. The society states that mask-wearing reduces tidal volume, increases breathing frequency, and decreases alveolar and lung ventilation, potentially leading to adverse effects such as reduced cardiac output. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) also recommends that people with chronic respiratory diseases, heart conditions, or other medical conditions that make breathing difficult consult healthcare providers before using ‘N95 masks.’
Thus, wearing masks in daily life can ultimately cause side effects due to oxygen deficiency in the body. Mr. A, in his 40s, who wears a mask daily since the outbreak of COVID-19, said, “Wearing a mask every day makes it hard to breathe, and especially in crowded subways or shopping areas, I feel dizzy due to lack of oxygen.”
As mask-wearing becomes routine and oxygen supply to the body becomes crucial, more people are using the ‘Face & Body Mask (Oxygen LED Dome)’ released by Zaigle ZWC at home for high-concentration oxygen care.
The ZWC ‘Face & Body Mask (Oxygen LED Dome),’ a next-generation homecare beauty device combining oxygen and LED masks, supplies high-concentration oxygen (95%) equivalent to that produced by 250 cypress trees from a high-concentration oxygen generator to both the inside and outside of the skin. The oxygen concentration in the atmosphere is about 21%, and oxygen concentrations higher than this are called high-concentration oxygen. High-concentration oxygen is known to positively affect the immune system, the body's defense system against external foreign substances, bacteria, and viruses, when supplied to the body. American medical journalist McKeeby also said, “The way our body purifies itself is by supplying oxygen to accumulated pollutants inside the body,” emphasizing that oxygen is necessary for the body's self-cleaning ability and immune enhancement.
Regarding this, a Zaigle representative who developed the ZWC ‘Face & Body Mask (Oxygen LED Dome)’ said, “The ZWC ‘Face & Body Mask (Oxygen LED Dome)’ supplies the body with pure high-concentration oxygen particles without impurities. We believe this can help maintain a healthy body,” adding, “We hope that high-concentration oxygen will help citizens live healthy lives not only against COVID-19 but also against air pollution.”
At a time when mask-wearing is becoming routine not only due to COVID-19 but also because of severe fine dust every spring, the necessity of oxygen, an essential element for human physical and mental activities, is being emphasized. Consequently, consumer interest is increasing in the ZWC ‘Face & Body Mask (Oxygen LED Dome),’ which enables simultaneous health and skin care at home with high-concentration oxygen and LED masks.
