Introduction
The general reference price for a slimming face injection is 2000-5000 yuan per injection. Noticeable improvement can typically be seen after 2-3 weeks; however, possible side effects include infection and facial stiffness. Generally, if signs of infection appear after receiving the slimming face injection, you can take anti-inflammatory medication as directed by a physician. If there are no signs of infection, taking anti-inflammatory drugs is not recommended. It is advised to visit a正规 hospital and undergo the procedure under the guidance of a doctor.
瘦脸针主要是通过将注射用A型肉毒毒素精确地输送到咬肌部位，导致该部位的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、脸部僵硬等问题。一般情况下，打完瘦脸针存在感染迹象，就可以遵医嘱吃消炎药；若没有感染剂型，则不建议吃消炎药。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 noticeable signs of infection, such as redness, swelling, pain, or fever, appear after the injection of the slimming injection, anti-inflammatory medication, such as amoxicillin capsules, roxithromycin tablets, or azithromycin capsules, can be taken according to medical advice. These medications can help reduce inflammation and maintain the slimming effect of the injection.
However, if no signs of infection are present after the injection, it is advisable to avoid taking anti-inflammatory drugs. Blind medication may react with the botulinum toxin in the slimming injection, affecting its effectiveness and potentially causing side effects.
For a period after the injection, the masseter muscles will be relatively fragile. Chewing hard foods, such as nuts or hard candies, should be avoided to prevent excessive strain on the masseter muscles. It is recommended to rest adequately and maintain proper hygiene and care of the injection site.
