How much does a slimming face injection cost per shot?

Generally, common brands of slimming injections include Hengli Slimming Injection, Botox Slimming Injection, and Lishutuo Slimming Injection. Their reference prices are as follows: Hengli Slimming Injection, 1,000–5,000 yuan per injection; Botox Slimming Injection, 3,000–5,000 yuan per injection; Lishutuo Slimming Injection, 1,500–3,000 yuan per injection. Factors affecting the price of slimming injections include facial muscle condition, doctor's experience, and regional differences.

Slimming injections typically work by injecting botulinum toxin type A into the masseter muscles. The toxin binds to nerve endings at the neuromuscular junctions of the masseter, blocking or interfering with the release of acetylcholine, causing the masseter muscles to relax and gradually atrophy, thereby achieving a face-slimming effect.

Factors influencing price:

① Facial muscle condition: The state of facial muscles is closely related to the cost of slimming injections. Generally, individuals with more developed masseter muscles require larger doses of medication, resulting in higher costs.

② Doctor’s experience: Under normal circumstances, in正规 medical institutions, doctors with greater experience and higher qualifications tend to charge more. This is because they can more accurately assess skin and muscle conditions and perform injections with greater precision, leading to higher patient satisfaction and lower failure rates—hence the relatively higher price. In contrast, general practitioners at standard clinics usually charge less.

③ Regional differences: Due to varying levels of economic development across cities and regions, injection costs may differ. Typically, prices in first- and second-tier cities are higher than in third- and fourth-tier cities, although procedures and service quality are generally also higher.

It is recommended to visit a正规 hospital and choose a suitable slimming injection brand under a doctor's guidance. After treatment, avoid facial massage, facial compresses, makeup, smoking, and alcohol consumption. Maintain a light diet and avoid spicy or irritating foods such as Sichuan pepper, chili peppers, and garlic to promote proper healing.
