After having Botox, why is it a little swollen? It looks better when I smile.

For the short term, there may be slight swelling, temporary slight redness, itching or soreness at the injection site. If you chew for a long time, there may be slight soreness in some parts. Bruising is normal. During this period, there is a process of drug absorption and running-in. It will be accompanied by swelling on the face. The swelling will slowly subside after a few days. Take good postoperative care and do not use hot compresses or hot compresses on the face. Use cold compresses, otherwise it will easily cause the decomposition of botulinum toxin to accelerate and shorten the duration of the effect. Also do not massage or massage the injection site, as this can easily accelerate the spread of botulinum toxin and affect the effect. Four hours after the injection, you should have as many facial expressions as possible to make your face look natural. Do not lower your head, lie flat or bend over. Eat a lot of nut-like foods, and try not to overly stimulate the masseter muscles (tightening and beauty). Continue to take it. Do not eat collagen to prevent collagen accumulation under the skin. Keep your mood relaxed. A good mood will also add points to your beauty.

The principle of wrinkle removal needles

Wrinkle removal needles also Botulinum toxin is injected subcutaneously, because it can inhibit the release of acetylcholine in the presynaptic membrane of peripheral motor nerve terminals, block information transmission between nerves and muscles, thereby causing paralytic relaxation of muscles. The types of wrinkles solved include crow's feet and forehead wrinkles. , Sichuan folds, nasolabial folds, wrinkles at the corners of the mouth, chin lines, etc., can be effectively improved. Eliminate skin aging problems caused by various causes of human facial skin, such as wrinkles and depressions, and achieve the effect of smoothing wrinkles. Taking hyaluronic acid to fill the gaps in the collagen fiber network can effectively stabilize and control the collagen fiber framework. Ensure the stability of new collagen fibers

You may encounter this problem.

1: After botulinum toxin injection, although the dynamic wrinkles are removed, the wrinkles and folds on the face can still be seen. How long will this effect last?

For facial wrinkles, in addition to botulinum toxin injections, you need to pay attention to daily moisturizing and sun protection. Wrinkle removal injections usually cause muscle movement to weaken within 2-3 days of injection. It manifests as facial wrinkles becoming shallower and flatter, and the skin becoming smoother. The duration is generally 3-6 months, with an average of 4 months. It only temporarily relieves wrinkles and releases long-term pressure on subcutaneous cells in wrinkles, but the atrophic cells and necrotic cells in wrinkles are not changed. Expression wrinkles will appear after the information transmission between nerves and muscles is restored. After wrinkles recur, injections can be performed again. The appropriate interval is about 6 months. Frequent injections can cause nerve numbness or even damage the facial nerves. In order to avoid repeated injections (tightening), the third intervention on collagen comes from the stabilization of new collagen fibers. The repair factor contains hyaluronic acid that fills the gaps in the collagen fiber network, which can effectively stabilize and control the collagen fiber framework, ensuring that the new collagen fibers are stable and balanced, so the inside and outside are combined and interact,

two muscles. What is this "memory" like? Will this "memory" make the effects of botulinum toxin better and better? The effect of wrinkle removal needles

When the muscles of the forehead or around the eyes are laughed, blinked, raised eyebrows, or raised the forehead for many years, the muscles will be continuously squeezed and accumulated, and local muscles will gradually form. A kind of "memory". Whenever you make these expressions, the muscles will form wrinkles according to the "memory". Over time, real wrinkles will be formed.

1. Wrinkle removal needles can stimulate the skin after injection. Collagen is produced under human skin, fundamentally solving the problem of skin wrinkles and other defects. Oral products cannot achieve the purpose of supplementing collagen.

2. The injection acts as a temporary filling under the skin. The principle is similar to injecting normal saline under the skin, except that the normal saline will be completely absorbed by the body within half an hour, while wrinkle removal needles can last for several months or up to a year before being completely absorbed by the body.

3. Wrinkle removal needles will promote the production of new collagen under the skin, and collagen plays a role in helping human blood coagulation in the human body. Therefore, there will be no congestion after wrinkle removal needle injections. Phenomenon. You can go out after the injection procedure.

4. The injection of other products will cause pain. The wrinkle removal needle contains a trace amount of lidocaine to reduce the pain during the injection process, so there is only a very slight pain during the injection process.

3: How wrinkles are formed

As soon as a girl reaches the age of 25, the blood circulation and metabolism of the skin begin to slow down, and the skin becomes loose and lacks elasticity, resulting in tension between the pores Reduces pore size and makes pores more visible. The contact inhibition between cell bodies and tissues is lost. The body's metabolism becomes slow, and excessive production of sugar molecules will combine with the proteins in the body to produce products, causing the skin's elasticity to decrease, become saggy, yellow and dull, and appear old. The phenomenon that causes skin and body cells to age, become confused, and relax not only at the level of blood vessels and other tissues, but also in the stratum corneum will produce excessive combinations of sugar molecules and proteins. (Tightening) strengthens the skin's elastin and collagen fibers. At the same time, the newly generated hyaluronic acid layer will make the skin plumper, restore the skin's elasticity and repair the easily damaged stratum corneum, and change the roughness, dryness and other phenomena of the skin; Stimulate the vitality of the skin base, increase skin elasticity, help its own function to accelerate repair, and quickly change the skin's youthfulness.

Since botulinum toxin will be metabolized in 6 months, how to change wrinkles

1. Wrinkles caused by skin sagging and muscles can be taken orally (tightening) to strengthen the skin. Elastin and collagen fibers, as well as the newly generated hyaluronic acid layer, will make the skin plumper, the skin's elasticity will be restored, and the nasolabial folds will be smoothed.

3. Stubborn wrinkles that are too deep can be used with anti-wrinkle injections to control expression. One injection can continue to relax shrinking wrinkles for about 3-6 months, and the squeezed wrinkles in the folds can be released. , to create a good environment for tissue growth and recovery in (tightening) repair of deep wrinkles, atrophic folds, and wrinkles. This is also a quick and long-lasting method to smooth wrinkles and avoid repeated injections

Are there any adverse consequences

After the wrinkle removal injection, due to different personal constitution and different degree of wrinkles, most of the adverse consequences of the wrinkle removal injection are temporary and mostly occur due to the operation, such as local swelling and bruising at the injection site. , numbness, etc., the eyelid muscles were paralyzed and infiltrated into non-target muscles, the eyebrow shape appeared, the eyebrow shape changed, the bags under the eyes aggravated, the eyebrows drooped, after all, the adverse consequences of anti-wrinkle needles are objective, etc. All adverse symptoms will also be recovered with the basic recovery. its elimination. Therefore, it must be performed by experienced physicians to reduce adverse consequences. At the same time, pre- and post-operative support (tightening) is used to activate collagen regeneration to form a moisturizing layer, which will make the skin plumper and provide the necessary nutrients for regenerated collagen fibers.

Precautions after botulinum toxin injection

1 In the early stages of botulinum toxin face-lifting, chewing weakness and soreness may occur. It will gradually increase over time. 2. Due to chewing habits, there will still be slight asymmetry on both sides after the injection, so a follow-up visit should be made after 2 weeks. 3. Surgery After that, once in the morning and evening (tightening) can destroy the stable underlying collagen fibers and elastic fibers, ensuring the normal metabolism of the skin

4. Do not take a sauna within a week after wrinkle removal, and Do not take aspirin or other substances that interfere with the body's coagulation function within one week after surgery.

5 Within 24 hours after entering the human body after surgery, in order to make the wrinkle removal effect more perfect and the shape of the skin after wrinkle removal be fixed, it is necessary not to touch the wound area with your hands, and do not apply cold or hot compresses to the wound area. Causes unnecessary new wrinkles.

6. After having wrinkle removal injections, you should not eat any spicy food or food that may cause internal fire in the body and may cause endocrine abnormalities. And, unnecessary strenuous exercise. Maintain your normal skin care routine after the injection, but do not massage the recipient area.
