Introduction
The general reference price for a slimming facial injection (瘦脸针) is 2,000–5,000 yuan per injection, with noticeable improvement typically seen after 2–3 weeks. However, possible side effects may include infection and facial stiffness. Whether medication can be taken after receiving a slimming facial injection should be determined based on individual circumstances. If the medication does not interact with the slimming injection, it is generally acceptable to take the medication; however, if there is a potential interaction, medication should be avoided.

瘦脸针主要是利用注射用A型肉毒毒素来阻断神经与肌肉之间的信号传导,使肌肉无法收缩并逐渐萎缩,从而达到瘦脸的效果。瘦脸针一般参考价格为2000-5000元/针,2-3周可见一定的改善,但可能出现感染、表情僵硬等问题。打完瘦脸针是否可以吃药,需根据实际情况判断。若药物与瘦脸针没有冲突,通常可以吃药;但与瘦脸针存在冲突时,则不可以吃药。建议前往正规医院,在医生的指导下进行操作。具体分析如下:

If the medication being taken does not have a direct interaction with the slimming injection and does not enhance or reduce its effects, it is generally acceptable to take the medication. In such cases, antibiotics may be taken under medical guidance to prevent or treat infections, but medication should strictly follow medical advice to ensure safety and effectiveness.

However, if anticoagulant medications, muscle relaxants, or similar drugs are required, they should be avoided. These medications may interfere with the effects of the slimming injection and increase the risk of local bleeding or swelling.

After receiving the slimming injection, if medication is necessary, it is recommended to consult a doctor to ensure the safety and effectiveness of the medication. Additionally, maintaining a light diet and consuming more fresh vegetables and fruits can promote recovery.
