Introduction

Under normal circumstances,瘦脸针 (facial slimming injections) work by injecting botulinum toxin type A to block nerve signal transmission between the nerves and the masseter muscles, causing the masseter muscles to be unable to contract and gradually atrophy, thereby achieving a facial slimming effect. The reference price ranges from 1000 to 8000 yuan per session. Noticeable improvement is generally seen within 2-4 weeks, but possible side effects may include local swelling, weakened masseter muscles, and unnatural facial expressions.

Generally,瘦脸针 (facial slimming injections) work by injecting botulinum toxin type A to block nerve signal transmission between the nerves and the masseter muscles, preventing the masseter muscles from contracting and gradually causing them to atrophy, thereby achieving a slimming effect on the face. The approximate cost ranges from 1,000 to 8,000 yuan per session. Noticeable improvement is usually seen within 2-4 weeks, but possible side effects include local swelling, weakened masseter muscles, and unnatural facial expressions. The time it takes to see results after receiving the injection depends on individual physical conditions and the dosage administered. For individuals with better physical conditions and moderate dosages, results are generally noticeable within 7-8 days; for those with weaker constitutions or slightly higher dosages, results may take 8-10 days to appear. If discomfort occurs, prompt medical attention is recommended. Detailed explanation is as follows:

Certain individuals have better physical conditions and faster metabolic rates, leading to quicker drug absorption and reaction speeds within the body. For such individuals, facial slimming effects are usually noticeable within 7-8 days after receiving the injection. Additionally, if the dosage of the facial slimming injection is moderate, the drug can take effect within an appropriate timeframe, gradually causing the masseter muscles to atrophy and slimming effects to appear generally within 7-8 days.

Other individuals may have weaker constitutions or slower metabolic rates, resulting in relatively slower drug absorption and response speeds within the body. For these individuals, visible effects may not appear until 8-10 days after receiving the injection. Additionally, if the dosage injected is slightly higher, the drug may require more time to gradually take effect, which could also delay the onset of visible results.

It is recommended to maintain healthy lifestyle habits, ensure proper rest and work balance, avoid massaging the injection site, and refrain from eating overly hard foods, all of which can help accelerate drug absorption.
