In our daily lives, many people often get face-slimming injections. Face-slimming injections are a very popular and favorite beauty method among female friends. So what are fat-dissolving injections and face-slimming injections? What's the difference? Can I take face-slimming injections while breastfeeding?

What is the difference between fat-dissolving injections and face-lift injections?

The ingredients are different

The main ingredient in fat-dissolving injections is phosphatidylcholine, which is obtained from soybeans. Extraction is a component of cell membranes. It also contains insulin-like growth factors, which are also involved in regulating cell growth, differentiation and DNA synthesis, as well as L-carnitine and other ingredients; while face-lift injections are mainly botulinum toxin.

Main ingredients of fat-dissolving injections:

The main ingredient of fat-dissolving injections is phosphatidylcholine, which is extracted from soybeans and is a component of cell membranes. It was originally discovered by German medical scientists and is used clinically to treat fat embolism, eliminate triglycerides in the blood, lower cholesterol and dissolve lipomas. The ingredients of the fat-dissolving injection also include insulin-like growth factor, which is also involved in regulating cell growth, differentiation and DNA synthesis; and L-carnitine, which is a vitamin-like nutrient that exists in animals, plants and microorganisms and has the ability to promote fatty acids oxidation and improve the body's tolerance and other important physiological functions.

The main ingredient of the face-slimming injection:

The main ingredient of the face-slimming injection is botulinum toxin. It can slim the face because botulinum toxin selectively inhibits peripheral motor nerve endings. The masseter muscle is injected After 2-3 days of botulinum toxin treatment, the masseter muscles will gradually become thinner and the face will gradually become thinner if it does not contract or exercise.

The effects are different

The effect of fat-dissolving injections is relatively stable. After injection, it penetrates deep into the subcutaneous fat layer and fundamentally decomposes fat and excretes it out of the body. However, the effect of face-lifting injections is limited, usually within half a year. Around this time, with metabolism, the injection will completely lose its effect, and the face will return to its previous appearance.

Lipid-dissolving injections are mainly targeted at facial fat, such as double chins, eye bags, etc. or local fat in other parts of the body. They cannot be used for body fat. The face-slimming needle mainly targets facial masseter muscle hypertrophy and has little effect on facial fat.

The scope of application is different

The scope of application of lipolysis needles:

The lipolysis needles are only suitable for local weight loss in small areas, such as double chins, faces, and branches. Liposuction injections can also make up for small facial imperfections in areas such as the ends, making the face look smaller. After the injection of lipolysis injection, the fat metabolism at the injection site will be accelerated, all the fat at the injection site will be decomposed into amino acids, and it can also inhibit and lift the facial skin.

Scope of application of face-slimming needles:

Face-slimming needles are suitable for square faces simply caused by masseter muscle hypertrophy. It only takes a few minutes and you can resume normal activities immediately after treatment. The face will begin to lose weight 1-3 months after the injection. Half a year or a year after the injection, 1-2 additional injections can be added according to the situation. The effect will be better and last for 1-2 years.

Suitable for different groups of people

Fat-dissolving injections are suitable for:

1. People with obese facial contours: face, nasolabial area, double chin, mandibular sagging Meat.

2. People with body obesity: hip and femoral obesity; inner and outer thigh obesity; hip sagging; abdominal fat accumulation; iliac waist fat accumulation; fat accumulation in shoulders, upper arms, joints, backs of hands and insteps.

3. Those who need treatment for cellulite: cellulite on buttocks and thighs (to improve cellulite).

4. Complications of unevenness after liposuction.

Face slimming needle is suitable for people:

Those with masseter muscle hypertrophy, not those with simple mandibular hypertrophy.

Can you take face-thinning injections while breastfeeding?

It is best not to take face-thinning injections for women who are breastfeeding.

There is currently no research showing that Botulinum toxin injections will affect the health of the baby along with milk secretion. Therefore, for safety reasons, it is best for breastfeeding mothers not to try face-slimming injections to avoid unnecessary harm.

What to do if you have a face-lift injection during pregnancy

Most of the botulinum toxin injected into the human body is absorbed by the blood, and only a small part exists in the muscles. If you have a face-lift injection during pregnancy, , it is recommended to do prenatal check-ups in time, do Down syndrome screening at 15-20 weeks of pregnancy to observe the baby's intellectual development, and do a four-dimensional color ultrasound to detect malformations between 22 and 26 weeks to check the development of the fetus's main organs. Does the fetus have any gross malformations?

Can fat-dissolving injections and face-lifting injections be given together?

They can be given together. When injecting two injections at the same time, you should pay attention to the ease of recovery, and whether it can be implemented depends on your attending doctor's evaluation of your face shape and whether you need to use two injections at the same time to help slim your face.

For beauty seekers who want to inject fat-dissolving injections and face-lifting injections, it is recommended not to inject them at the same time. Although it will not cause serious harm, in order to allow the skin to absorb the process, it is best to inject them separately. The effect will be more ideal and effective quickly, which beauty seekers must know.
