Last week, a little girl came to me and said to me, "Mr. Long, aren't there many beautiful young ladies who made their debut on TV and set up women's groups recently?" I envy them when I watch them on TV ~ "The little girl is well-proportioned, except that her calf is a little thick, so she came to consult about the stovepipe needle. But I analyzed her constitution and found that she was not suitable for stovepipe injection. So, what kind of person is the stovepipe needle suitable for?

The principle of stovepipe acupuncture is to block nerves and reduce the contraction of calf muscles after intramuscular injection of botulinum toxin. If the calf does not exercise, it will be longer and thinner from the outside.

So what kind of leg shape is suitable for stovepipe needle? As I said just now, the principle of botulinum toxin is to make muscles atrophy, so botulinum toxin is only suitable for muscular calves. If you have a fat calf, it won't work.

But how do you judge whether you are a muscular calf or a fat calf? There are two local methods. First, you can pinch your calf fat and see the thickness. In addition, we can look at the shape of the calf when we stand on tiptoe to see if there are obvious protruding muscle contours. If the calf muscles bulge obviously after exertion, then you are probably a muscular calf.

Of course, the above two methods are subjective, so if you really want to, let the doctor in the outpatient plastic surgery department take a look at it for you.

Let's talk about what needs to be prepared before the injection. First of all, we need to go to the plastic surgery clinic for face-to-face consultation. By consulting a doctor, we can know what risks we may face when we have a stovepipe needle and what we should pay attention to before and after the operation. Injection of cosmetic botulinum toxin is relatively safe, and the injection dose will be controlled within a relatively safe range, which is not easy to cause systemic botulinum toxin poisoning. However, irregular botulinum toxin products are likely to cause very serious consequences, such as general weakness, swallowing, breathing, urination and defecation difficulties.

Second, be mentally prepared, because we will feel uncomfortable for some days after the stovepipe injection, such as leg pain, swelling, pain and decreased strength, which usually lasts for three days to two weeks after the injection. In addition, because the stovepipe needle works faster, so, ah, muscle weakness will follow, which usually lasts for three days to two weeks, but it may last for a month.

Finally, everyone must remember that you can't apply hot compress after Botox. Hot compress will accelerate the metabolism of botulinum toxin, thus reducing the effect of botulinum toxin. And the action time of botulinum toxin is limited. After the botulinum toxin fails, the muscles will return to their original state because of their usual activities.

Therefore, if you want to get "women's legs", the success varies from person to person. You must find a formal institution and choose a cosmetic project that suits you according to your own characteristics under the advice of a doctor.

Finally, I still want to remind everyone that the beauty of health and safety is the most successful beauty!
