Facial slimming injections can achieve noticeable results in the short term. However, the duration of effect depends on individual care. Medically, these injections are not considered to provide permanent slimming results, though ideal maintenance can be achieved with specialized care.Currently, only one type of facial slimming injection is available: botulinum toxin. Its effects typically last 6-12 months with no side effects, and results generally stabilize after 3-4 sessions. However, you must first confirm whether the issue is masseter muscle hypertrophy. If it's excess fat, facial liposuction would be necessary.
Patients must undergo a comprehensive physical examination before receiving facial slimming injections to rule out any risk factors and ensure good health before proceeding. Failure to do so may affect the duration of results.Additionally, pregnant women, breastfeeding mothers, individuals with myasthenia gravis, multiple sclerosis, ptosis, adrenal gland disorders, or heart, liver, kidney, or other organ diseases must absolutely not receive Type A botulinum toxin injections.
Those with allergic constitutions, such as pollen or penicillin allergies, should also avoid treatment, as it is an exogenous protein that may cause allergic reactions in a small number of people.
To maximize the duration of facial slimming effects, avoid massaging the treated area and wash your face gently. Noticeable results typically appear around ten days post-treatment, as the first ten days are the drug's active period. To prolong the slimming effect, minimize consumption of nuts and avoid frequent exercise of the masseter muscles, as these activities can shorten the treatment's longevity.
