Twenty days of face-lift injections have no effect

Face-slimming injections are a quick way to slim your face, but this quick effect is in contrast to traditional dieting or exercise. It takes a certain amount of time from the injection of the face-slimming injection to the effect of the face-slimming effect appearing, usually about a week. However, some people still cannot see the face-slimming effect 20 days after the injection. Here are a few reasons why this phenomenon occurs!

1. The patient has too much facial fat or large bones

If fairies don’t see any effect after taking face-slimming injections for twenty days, one of the biggest reasons is that you don’t really have masseter muscle hypertrophy, but rather fat or bone problems. In this case, the effect of the face-slimming injection will not be as good as expected. Please note that this does not mean that there is no effect at all, but that it is not that good, because basically all Chinese people have some problems with masseter muscle hypertrophy, but the severity varies.

2. Frequent face-lift injections produce antibodies

If the patient has received frequent and large doses of botulinum toxin injections for face-slimming, there is a possibility that the injections may not show any effect even after twenty days. Because of large doses of face-slimming injections, some people may produce antibodies, causing the injections to fail (the incidence rate is about 5%), or due to individual differences, a very small number of people may not respond to the drug. If this happens abroad, you can consider using botulinum toxin type B as an alternative treatment, but this drug has not yet been introduced in China, so it is difficult to find.

3. Face-slimming injections may be fake medicine

If a face-slimming injection has no effect after twenty days, it is possible that the person seeking the beauty has encountered a fake face-slimming injection. The incidence of this situation in regular institutions is negligible, but it mainly occurs in unreliable black clinics or beauty salons. But now that it has been mentioned, I would like to emphasize again that for the sake of safety and for your effective beauty improvement, you should really not go to black clinics or micro-plastic surgery studios in your circle of friends.

4. How long should I wait for the next injection if the face-lift injection is ineffective?

Generally speaking, for people with abnormally developed masseter muscles, it is best to have a second face-slimming injection 3 to 4 months after the first. For people with relatively small masseter muscles, it is recommended to have a face-slimming injection after half a year. Although botulinum toxin is metabolized in the body within about 72 hours, and the dose used for face-slimming injections is far from a harmful dose, it is a cosmetic project after all, and the safety requirements are much higher than those for ordinary treatments. Moreover, even if no serious consequences occur, very frequent repeated injections will make it easier to produce antibodies, so each booster injection of face-slimming injections must not be less than once every three months, and at least once every four months.
