Can I get a slimming facial injection during my menstrual period?
I am 22 years old this year. I recently wanted to get a slimming injection for my face, but my period just started two days ago. I would like to ask if it's okay to receive a slimming injection during my period?

In general, "da ma" refers to a woman's menstruation. It is not recommended for women to receive slimming face injections during their menstrual period. Slimming face injections primarily improve facial contours and reduce facial fat accumulation by injecting botulinum toxin type A. During menstruation, hormonal levels in a woman's body fluctuate, and some women may experience increased bodily sensitivity and changes in blood clotting function. These physiological changes may affect the effectiveness and safety of cosmetic treatments.
During menstruation, a woman's body is in a special physiological state, with relatively weaker blood clotting function and lower resistance. Undergoing slimming face injections at this time may increase the risk of bleeding and subcutaneous hematoma, which can not only affect the slimming results but also prolong the recovery period. Some women may also experience heightened sensitivity to pain during menstruation, potentially making the injection process more uncomfortable. Additionally, immunity may be reduced during this period, increasing the risk of infection at the injection site.
To protect women's health and ensure optimal slimming effects, it is recommended to avoid slimming face injections during menstruation. If a woman desires facial slimming, she should wait until after her menstrual period and consult with a qualified physician for an evaluation before proceeding.
