Do I need to take face-lift injections for the rest of my life? What are the signs that face-lift injections are effective?

The face-slimming injection does not take effect immediately after injection. Generally, the effect will gradually become obvious one month after the injection. After the face-slimming injection, the facial contour will become clearer and the face-slimming effect is still very obvious.

Injections for face slimming generally need to be given according to the course of treatment. They can achieve a better face slimming effect. Face slimming injections cannot be given continuously, otherwise, there will be a relatively large side effect, which can easily cause facial muscle stiffness and facial muscle spasm. Face slimming injections generally do not need to be given for a lifetime. Generally, the effect will be more fixed after three injections. Even if there is a rebound, it will not be like the previous masseter muscle. However, with daily chewing of food, there is a chance that it will slowly return to its original state.

For patients whose faces are fat due to masseter hypertrophy, they usually choose to get a face-slimming injection to achieve a face-slimming effect. After the face-slimming injection, it usually takes about a week to see the initial effect. When seeing the initial effect, people who are usually more sensitive may feel that the force of biting when eating is weaker than before, and some people may feel that they have no power. This is a subjective feeling of self. Another way is that when you bite your teeth, that is, when you bite your back teeth, you can feel a relatively hard bulge in the masseter muscle. Now, after biting, the lump may not be as hard as before, and it will be slightly smaller than before, which means that botulinum toxin has begun to work. Of course, this is only a preliminary effect. Generally, in order to achieve a relatively stable effect, it takes 2-4 weeks to achieve a stable effect, and then maintain it for 4-6 months. This effect varies from person to person. Some people may appear a little faster, and some may appear a little slower, but basically everyone will have an effect. In clinical practice, it was found that there was no face-slimming effect after the injection. Basically, there was no effect. It has not been found yet. It’s just about the size of the effect. For some people, the effect may be more obvious, and for some people, the effect may be slightly less.

The principle of face-slimming injection is to inject a certain dose of botulinum toxin into the motor end plate of the masseter muscle, paralyze the neurons of the motor end plate, weaken the function of movement, and finally produce disuse atrophy. The whole process reaction takes a certain amount of time, so generally the initial effect will be achieved 1-2 weeks after the injection. The effect of the injection is best achieved about 1 month after the injection. Generally, after 4-6 months, because of the establishment of new synaptic connections, the function of muscle contraction will be restored, and the masseter muscle may retract part of it again and regain the ability to contract. Therefore, generally in 4-6 months, the doctor will recommend the beauty seeker to have a second injection. Some beauty seekers may be eager to be beautiful for a while and hope to achieve a better face-slimming effect in a short time. They may go to an informal institution outside to inject more botulinum toxin, or listen to advertisements that can be effective in a short time and achieve better results. In fact, many of them are injected with excessive amounts of botulinum toxin. According to the recommendations on the botulinum toxin injection guide, the general single botulinum toxin injection dose should not exceed 600U. Some fake and inferior botulinum toxin products brought by informal clinics may exceed the normal usage of botulinum toxin by 100 times or even 1,000 times. It is easy to cause botulinum toxin poisoning in the human body, which can be fatal in severe cases. Therefore, do not go to informal institutions, or listen to exaggerated advertisements, and you can achieve a better and extreme face-lift effect once or in a single injection. Regarding the frequency of injections, doctors often recommend an interval of 4-6 months after an injection, which is actually more in line with the drug metabolism process after a single injection. Some women are anxious and often make up for it in less than 4-6 months. In fact, this high-frequency make-up is not recommended, because the metabolism of the entire botulinum toxin is a process of gradual slowing down and disappearance. During the whole process, the motor end plate will have a physiological recovery. If it is not fully recovered, a second injection is performed, and the injection dose is more likely to be excessive. If the toxin injected within the safe dose range is not metabolized, the final saturation cannot be achieved if it is injected again. Therefore, the effect of high-frequency injections may be the same as that of regular injections in the later stages. Therefore, it is generally not recommended to inject at short intervals and high frequencies. Instead, it is recommended to use the medication regularly and in appropriate amounts during the treatment period.

1. Taboo massage

After the injection of the face-slimming injection, some girls may feel pain or soreness on their face. At this time, do not massage the front of the face, because this will cause the face-slimming injection to disappear quickly on the face, thus affecting the effect of the face-slimming injection.

2. Avoid wearing makeup

Do not put on makeup after injecting the face-lifting needle, because the needle hole penetrates through the skin surface into the dermis and causes a wound. If the chemicals in the cosmetics enter the wound, it is easy to cause inflammation. Therefore, the editor does not recommend girls to put on makeup for one week after injecting the face-lifting needle.

3. Avoid hard food

You cannot eat hard food within one month after the injection of face-lifting injection. Because hard food helps to exercise the masseter muscles of the face, which makes many girls have no effect after the injection of face-lifting injection. One week after the injection of face-lifting injection, girls are better to eat some liquid food, which can help the face-lifting injection achieve the best effect.
