How often should I use whitening injections?

As the saying goes, a white complexion can hide a thousand imperfections. For women who love beauty, they all hope to have fair skin. However, the quality of your skin is not determined by yourself. It will be affected by many external factors. Especially with age, the skin will become worse and worse. Whitening injections are a very good choice, and the effect is immediate. So, how often should whitening injections be used? Let’s take a look at the specific situation below.

Whitening injection treatment course

Whitening injections are divided into courses of treatment. One course of treatment usually consists of 10-12 injections to achieve a certain effect. Since the body will metabolize part of it, it is actually like applying a facial mask. It will not work immediately. The effect can only be seen around the 6th or 7th time. The kind that works with one injection is actually more unsafe and may even be harmful to the body.

Regarding the number of injections, experts recommend that the frequency of whitening injections should not be too high. Twice a week is already a high density. For obvious whitening of the whole body, it is generally necessary to inject 12 times in a row. Generally speaking, 2-3 courses of whitening injections can maintain the effect for a year.

Things to note after whitening injection

1. If there is pain or lumps after the operation, you can use cold compresses to reduce swelling.

2. After getting the whitening injection, you cannot massage your face randomly. The whitening injection also injects something into your face, so after massage, the whitening effect will dissipate.

3. You should maintain a fixed posture for 24 hours after the whitening injection, so that your skin will be evenly whitened. Also remember, you cannot wear makeup.

4. After getting the whitening injection, you should pay attention to basic maintenance such as sun protection. The whitening injection is not permanent and cannot protect against the sun. You still need to pay more attention to sun protection after the operation to maintain the whitening effect.

5. Whitening injections are not suitable for people who are pregnant, breastfeeding, or have cardiovascular diseases. Whitening injections should not be given during menstruation. People who are allergic to vitamins are not suitable for whitening injections.

6. Reduce the number of exfoliation times: Because exfoliation will increase friction on the skin and cause pigmentation, you should avoid exfoliation and facials, otherwise it will not whiten your skin but will cause melanin deposition.

7. Avoid taking a sauna, steam oven, or hot spring bath: The ambient temperature of the oven and sauna is relatively high, and in high temperatures, melanin is easily released, so if you take a steam oven or sauna bath after getting a whitening injection, the effect will be greatly reduced.

8. Take less hot spring baths and remember to rinse after taking a sulphur spring bath: hot spring water is hotter than regular bath water. High temperatures can easily lead to the release of melanin, so it is not recommended to take a hot spring bath after getting a whitening injection. In addition, hot springs are divided into carbonated springs and sulfur springs. The ingredients in sulfur springs can easily cause pigment changes on the skin surface, so it is recommended not to soak in a hot spring right after completing the treatment. If you want to soak, remember to rinse with clean water.

9. Eat less photosensitive foods: Celery, basil, mushrooms, leeks, coriander, red beans, celery, carrots and other foods are photosensitive foods. The intake should be reduced when receiving whitening injection treatment. Some people may be allergic to whitening ingredients and may experience symptoms such as vomiting, nausea, allergies, and rashes. Therefore, it is recommended to discuss with a doctor in advance and avoid allergic elements or replace them with other ingredients. Certain ingredients in whitening injections may also cause a decrease in women's menstrual blood volume, so if women want to get whitening injections during their menstrual period, it is recommended that they remind their doctor in advance. Pay attention to sun protection after the operation to avoid getting half the result with twice the effort.
