What is the difference between domestic and imported face-lifting injections? Is the 600-yuan face-lifting injection reliable?

Face-slimming injections are a very popular medical beauty project in beauty salons. Face-slimming injections are very effective for patients with hypertrophy of the masseter muscles. Postoperative recovery care is also very important. Good care will maintain the effects of the face-slimming injections for a longer period of time.

1. Comparison of ingredients

Botox VS Hengli = Human Albumin VS Medical Gelatin

Imported Botox: It is composed of botulinum toxin type A and human albumin. Human albumin is a protein extracted from the blood of healthy people and is identical to that of humans. It has a certain degree of swelling-reducing effect.

Domestic Hengli: It is composed of type A botulinum toxin and medical gelatin. Medical gelatin is a hydrolysis product formed by the gentle rupture of pig or cow collagen fibers. Some people are allergic to gelatin and cause immune reactions. From the ingredients, I believe that you have the answer to the question "Why are imported products so expensive?" Human blood protein is expensive! So in the first round, Botox wins!

2. Comparison of botulinum toxin concentration

Botox vs. Xanax = 900 kilodaltons vs. 1300 kilodaltons

The molecular weight of imported Botox is about 900KD (kilodaltons), and the molecular weight of domestic Hengli is about 1300KD (kilodaltons). At a unit dose, the smaller the molecular weight, the higher the concentration. Because of the small molecular weight, the same container can carry about 30% more Botox than Hengli, and the effect and durability will also increase. In the second round, Botox continues to win!!

3. Comparison of diffusivity and permeability

Botox VS Hengli = 0.5 square centimeters VS 1 square centimeter

When botulinum toxin is injected into our subcutaneous tissue, there will be a diffusion area, which is called diffusion area in medicine. The diffusion area of ​​imported Botox is 0.5 square centimeters, and the diffusion area of ​​domestic Hengli is 1 square centimeter. Because the concentration of Botox is slightly higher than Hengli, under the same size of injection needle, Botox will form a higher injection resistance and pressure after injection. The smaller the permeability, the higher the concentration, and the greater the injection pressure, the smaller the diffusion area will be. The smaller the permeability, the more suitable it is for fine facial muscle injection. This is why Botox is generally used to remove small areas such as crow's feet. Botox is more precise. Hengli is generally used to remove the masseter muscle and thin the face. Hengli is more economical. In the third round, Botox still wins!!!

4. Process comparison

Botox vs Hengli = Vacuum drying vs Freeze drying

Botox uses vacuum drying method, which is not easy to produce antibodies. Hengli uses freeze drying method, which is easy to produce toxoids, and toxoids produce antibodies but have no effect. In the fourth round, Botox wins again...

5. Effect

Both are botulinum toxin type A, and work in the same way. After excluding factors such as antibody production and dosage, it can be proven that the efficacy of the two is comparable. Round 5, finally a tie~

6. Price

This is also the biggest difference between the two. Botox is generally sold at twice the price of Hengli. Of course, spending more money to buy Botox means less allergies, stiffness and antibodies, but Hengli is slightly better in terms of cost performance. We can choose according to our own situation. In terms of price, Hengli is undoubtedly WINS!

To sum up, through scientific comparison, we know that Botox is more suitable for injection in terms of safety, which is also due to its 20 years of clinical experience. In terms of effect, there is no big difference between the two, which is why Hengli is cost-effective. You don't have to worry too much about the choice. Compared with the choice of medicine, it is more important to choose a regular medical institution for injection beauty. After all, the difference between the two is not that big, and a good injection physician is the key point.

It is better not to get the injection. After all, you get what you pay for. If there are some sequelae after the injection, it will not be worth it. Generally speaking, the price of face-slimming injections is more than a thousand yuan, and the good ones are even tens of thousands. Face-slimming injections mainly act on muscle tissue. It has the effect of nerve blocking, which makes the masseter muscle atrophy to achieve the effect of face-slimming. In addition, although the face-slimming injection can thin the masseter muscle quickly, it is not like the way that Jiayan Fruit can thin the masseter muscle through simple oral chewing. It is still more troublesome to thin the masseter muscle with face-slimming injections. There are many problems to pay attention to after the injection. For example, avoid facial friction and do not touch the injection site within 4 hours after the face-slimming injection; secondly, within 6 hours after the face-slimming injection, you cannot wash your face, let alone make-up, and you cannot ice or heat the injection site. Avoid strenuous exercise within 24 hours; finally, you cannot eat spicy and stimulating foods, seafood and other foods within a week after the face-slimming injection, and you cannot smoke or drink.

Going to a professional plastic surgery hospital for a face-lift injection is very effective. Face-lift injection is essentially the use of botulinum toxin injection to treat masseter hypertrophy. Women consider oval faces beautiful and often request plastic surgery due to hypertrophy of the mandibular angle. More than 90% of patients have benign masseter hypertrophy and hope to reduce it at the same time. Since it is difficult to control the amount of muscle resection and the depth of muscle resection during mandibular angle surgery, not only is the effect unsatisfactory, but it is also easy to increase the chance of bleeding, hematoma, and infection, causing serious complications such as asymmetry of the two sides of the face, trismus, and prolonged muscle spasm. Botulinum toxin injection causes the masseter muscle to atrophy and become smaller through the denervation of nutrition, making the treatment more thorough, safer, and more effective. Using face-lift injection to lift the face is a face-lift method that even celebrity friends have used. Experts say that the face-lift effect can be seen a few weeks after the injection of the face-lift injection, and you will be amazed that your "big face" has been replaced by a small face. However, its effect only lasts for 12-18 months, so if you want to obtain the original face-slimming effect, you must undergo another face-slimming injection.

Because Botox is reversible, it needs to be injected again after 3-6 months to maintain the effect. Generally speaking, after a week of injection of face-slimming injection, you can observe that the face gradually becomes thinner and achieves the effect of "face-slimming". The effect of face-slimming reaches its peak after two or three months, and the masseter muscle can be reduced by about 30%, and the effect can last for about half a year at most. If you want to slow down the recovery of the masseter muscle, you should eat less hard and tough food, and appropriately avoid frequent chewing exercises, such as chewing gum and eating melon seeds. You must go to a regular medical beauty institution and ask an experienced physician to perform a lipolysis injection face-slimming operation to ensure safety and achieve satisfactory results. At the same time, the price is also clearly stipulated. Face-slimming injections are for masseter-type faces, and liposuction surgery is suitable for fat-type faces. Choose a regular hospital for a face-to-face consultation, so that the doctor can develop a surgical plan for you based on your basic situation.
