How long does it take for face-slimming injections to take effect?

The main substance of face-slimming injections is botulinum toxin, which can solve the problem of masseter muscle hypertrophy, so it can consume fat to a certain extent. Face-slimming injections are actually something that many people are going to do nowadays, but it is best to choose a regular institution to carry out these procedures in order to avoid unwanted harmful side effects. Generally speaking, friends who have received face-slimming injections will see good results within ten days to a month, but because everyone's physique is different, the degree of absorption will also vary. If you experience any discomfort after a face-slimming injection, you must seek prompt follow-up examination.

principle

The face-slimming injection is a botulinum toxin type A injection, which primarily acts on muscle tissue. Because it is often used to solve masseter muscle hypertrophy, it is called the face-slimming injection.

Face slimming injection is essentially the use of botulinum toxin injection to treat masseter muscle hypertrophy. Women consider oval faces to be beautiful and often request plastic surgery due to enlarged mandibular angles. More than 90% of these patients have benign masseter muscle hypertrophy and hope to reduce it at the same time. Since it is difficult to control the amount and depth of muscle resection during mandibular angle surgery, not only is the effect unsatisfactory, but it is also easy to increase the chances of bleeding, hematoma, and infection, causing serious complications such as facial asymmetry, clenched jaws, and prolonged muscle spasms. In 1994, Smyth et al. reported their experience with botulinum toxin type A in the treatment of bilateral masseter muscle hypertrophy, believing that this was a revolutionary new method. Botulinum toxin injection causes the masseter muscle to atrophy and shrink by denervating the nerves, making the treatment more thorough.

Three major advantages

1. Inject face-slimming injections to achieve permanent face slimming .

Although face-slimming injections have a time limit, after multiple continuous BOTOX injections, the masseter muscle will continue to remain relatively small, causing it to permanently atrophy and shrink. The treatment is more stable and thorough, and the goal of permanent face slimming can be achieved.

2. The face-slimming effect can be continuously improved.

Due to the above-mentioned time-limited reasons, if you feel that the face-slimming effect is not good, you can re-inject and slim your face again after the drug effect disappears.

3. If you don’t want to lose weight, you can restore your original face.

The effects of face-slimming injections generally last for 6-12 months. As the efficacy of the drug gradually wears off, the masseter muscle movement gradually recovers, and the muscles become fuller, the facial appearance returns to its original state. Therefore, face slimming injections are especially suitable for people who want to try to slim their face but are worried that they will not look as good as fatter.

Effect

The best effect of botulinum toxin injection is generally about 10 days to 1 month. The effects vary from person to person due to different physical conditions. Generally, the best time to achieve face slimming effect is about three months after the injection.
