Dr. Li Fengyong
Smoking on the same day of receiving facial slimming injections can often affect the treatment outcome. The main ingredient in facial slimming injections is botulinum toxin, which works by paralyzing facial nerves and reducing nerve supply to the muscles, causing the facial muscles to atrophy due to lack of stimulation, thereby achieving a slimmer face. Cigarettes contain nicotine and various other substances. Smoking after receiving the injection not only interferes with drug absorption but may also lead to facial swelling or wound infection.
