■The mechanism by which elabotox can make the face appear smaller
Why does elabotox give the appearance of a smaller face?Because Botox inhibits the function of the masseter muscle... The masseter muscle is used when chewing. It has a large volume among the muscles around the face, and if overdeveloped, it can give the appearance of gills.
In other words, Botox is injected into the masseter muscle,Muscle movement is inhibited and gills are gradually eliminated.As a result, it is easier to see a smaller face.
■Other secondary effects
Elabotox can be expected to do more than just eliminate gills.Useful for improving clenching and grindingIt is. This is because the function of the masseter muscle is inhibited, thereby restraining the force of chewing. If clenching and grinding are improved, the risk of damage to teeth and TMJ disorder can be reduced.
Further,Relief from headaches and stiff shoulders can also be expected.It will be. However, after the procedure, it may be temporarily difficult to chew hard foods, which may be uncomfortable until you get used to it.
How long does elabotox last?
The effects of elabotox are not permanent. Please check the duration of the effect beforehand to avoid regrets such as "This was not supposed to happen. ......
■Generally 3-6 months
The typical duration of elabotox is about 3-6 months. Although it varies from person to person, manyYou will begin to feel the effects about 2-3 days after the treatment, peaking after about 14 daysThe effect will then gradually fade. After that, the effect gradually fades, but the key to maintaining the ideal facial line for a long time is to repeat the procedure when the Botox preparation wears off (every 3 to 6 months). However, the duration of the effect will vary depending on one's lifestyle and physical constitution. Therefore, it is important to consult with your doctor and re-inject at the appropriate time.
■Keys to prolonging the effects of elabotox
In order to maintain the effects of elabotox as long as possible, care should be taken in how you spend your time after the procedure. For example, it is best to avoid activities that stimulate blood circulation, such as exercise and alcohol consumption, as well as massages that stimulate the treated area. This may affect the results of the procedure.
Yayoi Clinic, a cosmetic dermatology clinic in Hiroshima, Japan, explains the treatment of small faces other than elabotox.
In addition to elabotox, there are other treatments that can approach facial lines. In order to find the right treatment for you, it is important to properly understand the characteristics of each. Here, Yayoi Clinic, a cosmetic dermatology clinic in Hiroshima, Japan, will explain about treatments other than Elabotox and procedures that can be combined with Elabotox to achieve a synergistic effect.
■ Difference from thread lift
Both elabotox and thread lift can be expected to improve facial lines, but the approaches are different. In the elabotox procedure, Botox is injected directly into the masseter muscle to relax the muscle, thereby beautifying the facial line. The thread lift isA special thread is inserted under the skin to raise the skin and fat from the foundation.It is.
The effects of elabotox appear in a relatively short time, with little or no downtime. Thread lift, on the other hand, is expected to have more long-term effects and is useful for improving and preventing sagging. However, the thread lift may cause pain and swelling for several days. Although they can be used in combination, it is important to carefully consider the effectiveness, duration, and budget when choosing between the two.
■ Combination effect with Botox for chin tip
Combining elabotox and Botox chin-tip can have a synergistic effect on treatment. While the elabotox relaxes the masseter muscle to reduce the width of the face, Botox for the chin tip acts on the mastoid muscle, which reduces the leanness of the face line and relieves the appearance of squatting. It reduces facial line leaning and relieves the appearance of squatting. Thereby,The entire face appears balanced.The first is the
Botox can be applied not only to the gills and chin tip, but also to a variety of other areas. For example, shoulder Botox and calf Botox are recommended for those who wish to have a slimmer neck and calves. There are many cosmetic clinics in Hiroshima that offer Botox injections. In addition to concerns about facial lines, those who suffer from tension and discomfort caused by overdevelopment of muscles should definitely consider Botox treatment.

Elabotox is an injectable treatment, but non-injectable facelift treatments also exist. Typical non-injectable treatments are,Medical hyphenation and RF treatment, etc.It is. Medical HIF is a procedure that aims to lift up the skin from the inside by irradiating the skin with high-density ultrasonic energy. RF therapy, on the other hand, irradiates radiofrequency waves onto the skin and heats the subcutaneous tissue to promote metabolism and fat-burning effects.Both are less invasive approaches that can be undergone without incisionsand is suitable for those who are not comfortable with surgery.
However, the devices used and the areas acted upon naturally differ. It is important to select the appropriate method according to the effects and objectives you seek.
What happens if you keep getting elabotox? What you need to know to avoid regrets.

To avoid such failures, it is important to follow the appropriate treatment interval and injection volume. Consult with a trusted physician before proceeding with the treatment.
