How long does it take for the face-lift injection to take effect?

There are two reasons why people have fatter faces. One is because of excess facial fat, and the other is because of large facial masseter muscles. If you have too much fat, you can reduce the fat content through dieting, exercise, etc., so as to achieve the effect of slimming your face. However, if the masseter muscle is enlarged, certain medical methods are needed to make it smaller. A face-slimming injection is a micro plastic surgery that can reduce the size of the masseter muscle. So how long does it take for the face-slimming injection to take effect?

1. How long does it take for the face-lift injection to take effect?

The main ingredient of face-slimming injections can paralyze nerves and block the transmission of information between muscles and nerves. Injecting a face-slimming injection into the masseter muscles on both sides of the face will block the normal communication between the masseter muscles and the nerves. If the masseter muscle does not receive signals for a long time, it will slowly atrophy and shrink, thus achieving the effect of slimming the face.

The effect of face slimming is not immediate, and its efficacy needs time to transition. Generally, after a face-slimming injection, you can feel your face gradually getting smaller in 1 to 2 weeks, and the best results can be achieved in 2 to 3 months. The general effect can last for half a year to a year. Of course, this time is not fixed, it varies according to the condition of each person's masseter muscle. Some people's masseter muscles are relatively thick, and the effect will only begin to appear after 3 to 4 weeks. Otherwise, it may only last about 3 months. In this case, you can get regular booster shots. Generally, after three shots, you will see more obvious results, and the duration of the effect will be greatly extended, up to 3 to 5 years.

2. Indications for face-lift injections

According to the three reasons for the big face, there are three corresponding methods for face thinning, as follows:

1. The facial bones are wide, and this kind of face slimming can only be achieved through osteotomy.

2. The facial masseter muscle is developed and thick. This type of face slimming can be achieved by removing the masseter muscle or injecting a face slimming needle to make the masseter muscle fibers thinner.

3. Facial fat accumulation. This type of face slimming requires facial liposuction to achieve.

Therefore, face-slimming injections are not a panacea for the symptom of a big face. Face-slimming injections can only be used for the second type of "big face", that is, square face and hypertrophy of the masseter muscle, rather than simply hypertrophy of the mandible.

3. People who should not use face-lift injections

1. Patients with myasthenia gravis.

2. Patients with abnormal adrenal secretion.

3. People with internal organ diseases such as heart, liver, and kidney.

4. Allergic constitution.

5. Pregnancy and lactation period.
