Precautions for face-lift injections

Generally speaking, after getting a face-slimming injection, in order to speed up wound recovery and better exert the effect of the injection, the recipient needs to pay attention to certain matters, such as not massaging, not applying ice or hot compresses, not washing the face and applying makeup immediately, not eating hard-shelled foods, not drinking alcohol, not smoking, etc. Because these behaviors will greatly affect the efficacy of the medicine and the effect of the face-slimming injection!

1. Avoid massage

Within 4 hours after getting a face-slimming injection, do not massage your face, sleep, tilt your head forward, or do strenuous exercise to prevent the newly injected ingredients, i.e. botulinum toxin, from entering your face and making the injection ineffective.

2. Do not use ice or heat

Do not use ice or hot compress. Many beauty-conscious women feel a little soreness on their face or want to quickly eliminate any uncomfortable symptoms on their face after getting a face-slimming injection, so they choose ice or hot compress. However, this will only accelerate blood circulation in the face, making the face-slimming injection lose its original face-slimming effect.

3. Don’t wash your face or put on makeup immediately

Do not wash your face or put on makeup immediately. Within 6 hours after getting a face-slimming injection, many beauty-conscious women may be anxious to go out shopping or on a date with friends. In order to make themselves look more energetic, many people choose to put on makeup before going out. However, they are not allowed to wash their face or put on makeup within 6 hours after the injection of the face-slimming injection, because this is to prevent bacteria from contacting the injection site on the face, causing inflammation of the wound and other uncomfortable reactions.

4. Avoid eating hard-shelled foods

After getting a face-slimming injection, avoid eating hard-shelled foods and tough foods, and try to reduce the movement of the masseter muscles in your face, otherwise the effect of the face-slimming injection will be halved.

Hard-shell foods include: walnuts, peanuts, almonds, melon seeds, pine nuts, pistachios, etc. Tough foods include: gluten, spicy strips, chewing gum, etc.

5. No drinking

You are not allowed to smoke or drink after getting a face-slimming injection, because the face-slimming injection is a biological agent with certain biological activity. Smoking and drinking will affect the absorption and activity of the biological agent, which is not conducive to the effectiveness of the face-slimming injection. Moreover, after getting a face-slimming injection, the skin at the injection site is still relatively fragile. Drinking may cause wound allergies, which is not conducive to rapid recovery of the wound. In severe cases, it may also affect wound infection; in addition, alcohol will stimulate the body's blood circulation, and right after the face-slimming injection, there may be slight swelling at the injection site. Drinking at this time is likely to aggravate the swelling. Therefore, it is best not to drink alcohol after getting a face-slimming injection.

6. No smoking

If you smoke after getting a face-slimming injection, it will easily affect the absorption of the drug and affect the face-slimming effect. It is recommended that you wait at least one week before smoking.

7. Eat a light diet

You cannot eat spicy food after getting a face-slimming injection, because the injection itself will cause some irritation to the skin, and the skin needs time to adapt. Therefore, you cannot eat spicy food after getting a face-slimming injection to avoid the skin that has been irritated by the face-slimming injection being irritated by spicy food again, thus affecting the effect of the face-slimming injection.
