What is the composition of the slimming face injection?
Disease description:
I understand that Botox injections can help create a more defined and slimmer facial contour, but I am not yet clear about the specific ingredients in Botox. Therefore, I would like to know what components are in Botox injections.

The main component of the slimming injection is Botulinum Toxin Type A, a neurotoxin protein produced by Clostridium botulinum during its growth. It acts on the neuromuscular junction, blocking the release of acetylcholine, thereby interrupting the transmission of signals between nerves and muscles. As a result, nerve impulses cannot reach the muscles, which, without stimulation over time, undergo disuse atrophy. This process is key to achieving the face-slimming effect of the injection.
Prior to considering treatment with slimming injections, it is important to consult a qualified physician to determine whether you are a suitable candidate and to understand the potential risks and side effects. Additionally, choosing an accredited medical facility and an experienced practitioner is crucial to ensuring both safety and effectiveness.
After treatment, follow your doctor's instructions for post-care, and avoid massaging the injection site to prevent compromising the results. Maintaining healthy lifestyle habits will also help sustain the slimming effect. For example, avoid spicy, greasy foods and seafood, and consume more fresh fruits and vegetables.
