Botox can be easily applied to the gills to achieve a smaller face. However, in order to obtain more satisfactory results, it is important to know the appropriate frequency of treatment and points to consider when selecting a clinic. In this issue, we will explain how the effects of elabotox appear, the timing of re-treatment to maintain a beautiful facial line, and how to identify a good doctor.
What is the effect of Botox on gills?
Let us introduce you to the benefits of Botox injections into the gills and how the procedure works.
Characteristics of Botox
To begin with, Botox refers to botulinum toxin type A toxin produced by the botulinum bacteria.
Botox injections are a procedure in which this toxin is diluted in saline solution and injected into the muscles and skin.The injection causes transient paralysis of the muscles and skin at the site of injection, thereby improving the problem.。
Since the treatment is completed by injection into the area of concern, the procedure is relatively short and can be easily undergone. There is almost no downtime, and although there may be temporary symptoms such as internal bleeding and swelling, these can be covered up with foundation.
Elabotox is a procedure that can help you achieve a smaller face.
The area commonly referred to as the gills has a muscle called the masseter muscle, which, when overdeveloped, has a tremendous effect on the contour of the face and makes it appear larger. Botox can be effective for gills that are caused by overdeveloped masseter muscles. By injecting Botox, the excessive movement is suppressed,The effect of calming tense gills and making the face look sharperThe following is a summary of the results of the study.
In some cases, elabotox can also help prevent clenching and grinding of the teeth, which are involved in the development of the masseter muscle. It is also expected to relieve stiffness and tension in the shoulders caused by stress on the masseter muscle.
Does elabotox work after just one session? Explanation of treatment frequency
Botox injections are relatively easy to receive, but when do the effects appear and how long do they last? Here we will check how the effects of elabotox appear and the appropriate frequency of treatment.
Botox has long-lasting effects with regular treatments.
Elabotox is a procedure that is easy to feel the effects of just one time, but it does not last semi-permanently. There are individual differences,Effect disappears after an average of 3-6 monthsThe result is a sharp, natural-looking contour. Therefore, if you continue to receive elabotox on a regular basis, you can sustain sharp contours. Continuous treatment is unlikely to cause side effects or other problems.
When do the effects of elabotox appear?
The appearance of the effects of elabotox varies from person to person, but the difference is not always immediately noticeable after the procedure. Generally, 2-3 days after the procedure, the masseter muscle strength begins to be suppressed,After about 2 weeks, the gills become less noticeable.You will be able to feel the results of the treatment. If you are planning to have treatment for an important event such as a wedding, it is better to take into consideration when the peak of the effect will appear. The effect on clenching and grinding is said to appear earlier than the improvement of gills, when the strength of masseter muscle is suppressed.
How often is elabotox performed?
As mentioned above, every 3-6 months after the elabotox procedure, the drug wears off and the muscle volume gradually returns to normal. Therefore, at the discretion of the physicianAim for once every 3-6 monthsThe effect will be more lasting if the patient undergoes re-do surgery on the
However, if too much stress is placed on the masseter muscle after Botox injection, such as by chewing hard foods frequently, the gills may become tight at an early stage. Frequent Botox injections due to lack of effect can lead to the formation of antibodies, so it is important to follow an appropriate injection cycle.
What is a case of regret with elabotox?
Botox is a simple procedure that is simply injected into the area of concern. Nevertheless, to obtain a satisfactory effect, the doctor must determine the position of the patient's facial muscles and decide on the amount and location of the injections to follow the desired result. However, in some cases, if the procedure is performed improperly, the patient may regret having undergone elabotox. Check out the possible risks of elabotox.
You'll look old.
If you feel that your face is "aged" by elabotox, you may have injected too much Botox. If the Botox is too effective,The masseter muscle can become very thin, giving the cheeks a hollow appearance, and the cheek skin can sag with excess skinThese symptoms lead to the appearance of aging.
The effective amount and frequency of Botox injections are different for each individual. Appropriate treatment will reduce the risk of sagging skin and cheek lumps.
Discomfort in the jaw and difficulty chewing
Erabotox reduces the function of the masseter muscle used for chewing. As a result, some patients may experience difficulty chewing and jaw fatigue when eating. However, these may not be the case immediately after the treatment.Temporary symptomsAnd in most cases, you will gradually get used to it and be able to chew without discomfort.
The gills become uneven.
When injecting elabotox, if the position or amount is incorrect, the skin may become temporarily uneven. Since the face is a prominent part of the body, this can be bothersome, even if only temporarily. This risk can be prevented if the procedure is performed by a physician who can carefully assess the way the masseter muscle is attached and positioned.
Inability to feel the effects of elabotox
If no effect is felt after injecting elabotox, the reason may be that the injected amount is too small or the concentration of Botox is too thin due to an error in the dilution amount. The amount of Botox itself to be injected is generally indicated in the form of "units," but in rare cases, some clinics present the amount after dilution with saline solution as "0 cc. It is advisable to choose a medical institution that indicates the amount of Botox in "units" or, if the amount is indicated in "cc", to ask how many units of Botox are used during the consultation.
Those who do not feel the effects of Botox despite the appropriate amount,Gills may be caused by fat or skeletal structure.If there is a large amount of fat, options such as liposuction are also available. It is important to have the patient diagnosed at the time of counseling to determine if elabotox is effective and to have the appropriate treatment method suggested.
How much does elabotox cost? Check out how to choose a clinic.
The cost of elabotox isRoughly in the 10,000 yen to 60,000 yen rangeand vary from clinic to clinic. The differences in cost are caused by differences in the type and concentration of the drug and the practitioner. When choosing a clinic, it is easy to focus on the pricing, but since the results will vary depending on the practitioner, it is also important to consider whether the clinic has experienced physicians with knowledge and skills in Botox.
If you cannot find a doctor who is good at elabotox, you should check the clinic's website or social networking service for case photos and careful counseling and aftercare.
