Can I get a瘦脸针 (facial slimming injection) during my menstrual period?
"Da Yi Ma" usually refers to menstruation. "Slimming facial injections" typically refer to the use of botulinum toxin type A for injection. This treatment works by blocking the transmission of nerve impulses at the neuromuscular junction, allowing overactive muscles to relax, thus reducing facial muscle activity and improving facial contours. The general reference price for botulinum toxin type A injections is 2000-6000 yuan per injection. Noticeable improvement can usually be seen within 1-2 weeks, but possible side effects include infection and facial stiffness. Generally speaking, it is not recommended to use botulinum toxin type A injections during menstruation. It is advisable to visit a regular hospital and choose an appropriate injection time under the guidance of a doctor. Detailed analysis is as follows:
During menstruation, women have relatively poorer blood clotting function, making it easier to develop subcutaneous hematomas at the injection sites, which may affect drug absorption and effectiveness. In addition, women's immunity is reduced during menstruation, increasing the risk of infection after injection, potentially causing inflammatory reactions such as redness, swelling, and pain. To ensure injection safety, using botulinum toxin type A injections during menstruation is generally not recommended.
If you want to slim your face, you should use botulinum toxin type A injections during non-menstrual periods as directed by a physician. After injection, proper local hygiene and care are necessary, and adequate rest is important to help the skin recover.
