How many days does it usually take to see improvement with slimming injections?

Generally, "face slimming injections" refer to injectable botulinum toxin type A. By blocking the signal transmission between nerves and the masseter muscle, this treatment prevents the muscle from contracting and causes it to gradually atrophy, thereby achieving a slimmer facial appearance. The typical reference price for injectable botulinum toxin type A ranges from 2,000 to 12,000 yuan per injection, although localized pain, swelling, and other symptoms may occur. Improvement can usually be observed 7 to 20 days after injection. For individuals who are more sensitive to the effects of injectable botulinum toxin type A, results may become noticeable within 7 to 10 days; for those with a slower response, improvement may take 10 to 20 days to appear. Detailed explanations are as follows:

If an individual is highly responsive to injectable botulinum toxin type A, they may have higher neuromuscular transmission sensitivity. As a result, the toxin can more rapidly block nerve signals to the masseter muscle, causing the muscle to quickly enter a state of atrophy. Therefore, improvement may be visible within 7 to 10 days after injection.

If an individual responds slowly to injectable botulinum toxin type A, their neuromuscular transmission sensitivity may be lower, requiring a longer period before the effect of the toxin becomes apparent and the masseter muscle begins to atrophy. Thus, improvement may only become noticeable 10 to 20 days after injection.

If needed, it is recommended to visit a reputable medical facility and undergo the procedure under the guidance of a qualified physician to ensure both effectiveness and safety.
