What does it feel like to have a face-lift injection? Does it hurt?

Face-slimming injections are a very common method of medical cosmetic surgery. Face-slimming injections can help us effectively slim our face and achieve a delicate small face effect. They are very popular among all the beauty-loving friends. Face-slimming injections are mainly used to solve the problem of hypertrophy of the masseter muscle.

The feeling of the face-slimming injection is that after the injection, you will feel that you have no strength when chewing. Once you feel the weakness of the masseter muscle, it means that the main ingredient of the face-slimming injection, botulinum toxin, has spread to the target masseter muscle area and slowly paralyzed and relaxed the masseter muscle.

Regarding the question of whether it hurts to get a face-lift injection, I want to tell you that although most face-lift injections do not require anesthesia before the procedure and you need to clench your teeth during the injection, which may make you feel a little sore, the pain caused by the face-lift injection is really very small. Moreover, you will not feel much right after the injection, and there will be no pain in the following days. You may only feel soreness and a lack of strength in your masseter muscles when chewing hard objects.

Usually, if the face-lift injection is performed under regular operation, there will be no pain. However, if the face-lift injection is performed under irregular operation, it is very likely to cause pain. This is mainly because the facial nerves and blood vessels are dense, and if non-professionals in irregular institutions are injured, there is a high probability of injection pain caused by irregular operation. To avoid this situation, it is best for beauty seekers to choose a regular hospital and have the injection performed by a professional doctor.

NO.1Botox (Botox) face slimming injection

Produced in the United States, as the first company to produce botulinum toxin and the first to obtain certification from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), Botox's market share and popularity rank first in the world.

Advantages: Botox was approved by the FDA for cosmetic use as early as April 15, 2002 to remove frown lines. Because its botulinum toxin face-lift injection uses human albumin, the chance of causing allergies is low and its safety is the highest.

Disadvantages: relatively expensive.

NO.2BTXA (Lanzhou Hengli) Botulinum toxin face slimming injection

The botulinum toxin produced in China by Lanzhou Hengli has been certified by the Korean Food and Drug Administration and ranks third in the Korean market share. It has good effects on slimming the face, calves and removing wrinkles.

Advantages: low price and good effect.

Disadvantages: Compared with other botulinum toxins, the particles are larger and the effect lasts for a shorter time. However, it also has something to do with the method of use.

NO.3 Meditoxin Botulinum Toxin (Pink Toxin) Face Slimming Injection

A Korean local brand, as a product completely produced by Korean domestic technology, it has the same effect as BOTOX, and is suitable for wrinkle removal and face slimming. Its packaging is mainly 100 units, and there are also 20 units on the market. Meditoxin ranks first in the Korean market share and is also exported abroad. This brand's botulinum toxin has a variety of names, but they are actually the same thing. The different names of the pink botulinum toxin face slimming injection include: Neuronox, Botulift, SIAX, Cunox, and Meditoxin.

Advantages: Since it is produced in Korea, it can be stored and transported frozen within Korea, and the delivery time is short.

Disadvantages: Sales are currently limited to South Korea, there is no license for use in the country, and not many people are familiar with it.

NO.4Dysport Botox Face Slimming Injection

Dysport, whose Chinese name is Lishuto, is produced by a British company and is a European type A botulinum toxin. It ranks first in sales in Europe and fourth in market share in South Korea.

Advantages: fast effect, painless and non-irritating, moderately priced.

Disadvantages: The dosage of each bottle is relatively large, reaching 500 units. If you do not arrange the specific use of the remaining face-slimming injections in advance, it is easy to waste the botulinum toxin face-slimming injections.

NO.5Bocouture Botulinum Toxin (Blue Toxin) Face Slimming Injection

The manufacturer of Bocouture botulinum toxin is the German pharmaceutical company Merz. In the United States, Germany, and Hong Kong, this botulinum toxin is called XEOMIN. XEOMIN was approved by the FDA on August 2, 2010. It is the third botulinum toxin brand approved by the FDA after Botox and Dysfunction.

Advantages: The stabilizer is human serum albumin, so it is less likely to cause allergic problems.

shortcoming:

1. In French pharmacies, 100 units require a doctor's prescription to purchase.

2. This type of botulinum toxin injection for face-slimming has not been certified by China's CFDA. No regular hospital in our country will use this type of botulinum toxin injection for face-slimming. In other words, if you have seen this type of botulinum toxin injection for face-slimming, it is basically from illegal channels.

NO.6 Botulax (white toxin) face slimming injection

White Poison is available in some overseas countries, but the international version does not have the 150-unit specification. Rumor has it that this product sells well in Japan, and its characteristics are that it takes a long time to take effect. The company was listed on the Korea Stock Exchange (KOSDAQ) in 2015. Its main products are injectable botulinum toxin, injectable hyaluronic acid and cosmetics.

Advantages: The stabilizer is human serum albumin, which is less likely to cause allergic problems.

Disadvantages: China CFDA has not introduced this type of Botox face-lift injection, so Botulax face-lift injections are generally not available in regular hospitals. They only appear frequently in WeChat Moments, and those seeking beauty need to keep their eyes open to distinguish them.

NO.7NABOTA Botulinum Toxin (Green Toxin) Face Slimming Injection

The manufacturer of Green Poison Face Slimming Injection is listed on the Korea Stock Exchange (KOSDAQ) and is the leader in the Korean prescription drug market. Green Poison is not only available in Korea, but according to Daewoong Pharmaceutical, Green Poison has been approved by Thailand, Mexico, and India and is available in 15 Latin American countries and the Middle Eastern country Iran. It is said that Daewoong Pharmaceutical hopes that Green Poison will be approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and has submitted materials.

advantage:

1. The stabilizer is human serum albumin, which is less likely to cause allergic problems.

2. The specifications are 50 units, 100 units, and 200 units, which are quite abundant.

Disadvantages: The China Food and Drug Administration has not approved this botulinum toxin injection for face slimming. Therefore, it is not available in regular hospitals.

The above ranking of face-lift injection brands is only a rough ranking, because there is no authoritative organization to summarize the ranking of face-lift injection brands. It is worth noting that at present, only Botox face-lift injection and Lanzhou Hengli face-lift injection are available in regular hospitals in my country. Because the remaining pink toxin, white toxin, green toxin, and blue toxin have not been approved by my country's Food and Drug Administration, they cannot be put into the regular medical beauty market in my country, so there is no relevant satisfaction data, and the above ranking of face-lift injection brands is for reference only.
