How many times do I need to get a permanent face lift?

Face slimming can be said to be the greatest blessing for people whose faces are enlarged due to large masseter muscles. Because face-slimming injections can make the masseter muscles on the face smaller, thereby reshaping the face and making the face look smaller and more delicate. It is a form of micro-plastic surgery. However, face-slimming injections do not work immediately; multiple injections are required to achieve permanent results. So, how many times do you need to get a face-slimming injection to achieve a permanent effect?

1. Is it useful to get a face-lift injection?

When giving a face-slimming injection, usually 1 to several injection points are used on each side. The injection should be done as slowly as possible. There is no need for partial massage or other treatments after the injection. Normal tasting movements can allow the drug solution to gradually diffuse within the muscle structure. The main ingredient of face-lift injections is botulinum toxin. Botulinum toxin is widely used in neurology, ophthalmology, plastic surgery, and cosmetic surgery because of its nerve blocking effect. The current dosage is only one percent of its maximum safe dosage, so it is very safe.

2. The principle of face-lift injection

The face-slimming injection selectively acts on the nerve endings that control the facial muscles or the motor end plates at the neuromuscular junctions, thereby relaxing and paralyzing the facial muscles that have been overly tightened or hypertrophied due to habitual movements, and further causing the facial muscles to atrophy due to disuse due to malnutrition or loss of nerve innervation, thereby adjusting the balance of muscle movement and achieving the purpose of removing wrinkles and slimming muscles.

Generally, noticeable results can be seen in about one month after the first injection of the face-slimming injection, and the most obvious results are seen between two to four months. You can only have the second face-slimming injection after half a year. I had the third face-slimming injection. With each injection, the face becomes thinner. After three injections, there will be little rebound. However, in order to achieve more lasting results, multiple injections are generally necessary to maintain a good face-lift effect.

3. How many times should I get a face-lift injection to make it permanent?

At present, some hospitals use face-slimming injections three times a year. Face-slimming injections are a course of face-slimming treatment. This method can well maintain the effect of face-slimming, making it possible for you to have a small face permanently. The face-slimming injection usually selects 1 to 2 injection points on each side. The injection process takes about 20 minutes. No anesthesia is required, the injection trauma is small, and recovery is quick. 2 to 3 weeks after the injection, the masseter muscle begins to shrink and the face-slimming effect becomes apparent. The effect can last for about a year, and then gradually recover. After multiple injections, the muscles gradually atrophy before taking shape.

The number of times you receive face-slimming injections is related to how long the effects last. The length of time the effect can be maintained depends on the source, dosage, and usage of the injectable drug, as well as the skills of the doctor performing the face-slimming injection and the physical condition of the patient. Some friends need multiple injection treatments to achieve obvious face-slimming effects, while others can achieve good face-slimming effects in just one treatment.

Therefore, in order to ensure the effect of face slimming, everyone should be careful not to lie down within 4 to 6 hours after the injection of the face slimming injection to prevent the spread of botulinum toxin. Within 6 hours, you should not wash your face, put on makeup, touch the injection site, or exercise.
