Introduction
After receiving Botox injections for facial slimming, around 3-4 months later, as the components are gradually metabolized by the body, the masseter muscle will slowly regain some of its contractile ability, and the slimming effect will gradually diminish. If injections are administered according to a treatment plan, typically after 3-4 consecutive injections, the masseter muscle may experience a certain degree of atrophy, extending the duration of the effect to 6-9 months.
瘦脸针 mainly acts on the masseter muscles by blocking nerve conduction at the neuromuscular junction to achieve a slimming effect on the face. The general reference price for瘦脸针 is 1200-4800 yuan per session, and visible improvement can usually be seen within 1-3 months. The effects of瘦脸针 typically last for 3-9 months, although the exact duration may vary.
After receiving a瘦脸针 injection, over the course of 3-4 months, as the components are gradually metabolized by the body, the masseter muscles will slowly regain some contractile ability, and the slimming effect will gradually diminish. If injections are continued according to a treatment course, typically after 3-4 injections, the masseter muscles may experience a certain degree of atrophy, extending the duration of the effect, which can last up to 6-9 months.
Individuals with faster metabolisms will process the medication more quickly, resulting in a shorter duration of effect. Those with slower metabolisms will experience a longer-lasting slimming effect. Frequently chewing hard foods, such as nuts or gum, can exercise the masseter muscles more often, leading to faster muscle recovery and a shortened duration of the瘦脸针 effect.
After receiving a瘦脸针 injection, it is recommended to maintain healthy lifestyle habits, including a light diet and regular sleep patterns, to aid in recovery.
