Dr. Zhu Rong’s answer is as follows:
Okay, let’s answer your questions one by one. 1 Problem with face-slimming needles: Face-slimming needles are type A botulinum toxin. Botulinum toxin is divided into seven types according to its potency: a, b, c, d——. Type a has a higher potency, and type a is used clinically in cosmetic surgery. Botulinum toxin is used for wrinkle removal, face slimming, calf slimming, etc. Botulinum toxin can inhibit the release of acetylcholine in peripheral nerve synapses and reduce its control over human muscle tissue. It uses part of the muscle to reduce the contractile force. In this way, it can inhibit the frontalis muscle when used for wrinkle removal. The forehead wrinkles formed by contraction can be used for face-lifting injections to inhibit the strong tension control of masticatory muscles, causing the muscle tension of some masticatory muscles to decrease over a period of time. The muscle tension cannot be released and atrophy on its own, similar to the legs of patients who have been on bed rest for a long time. The mechanism is that the muscles in the legs will atrophy without being released and the legs will become thinner.
Botulinum toxin injection for face slimming uses intramuscular injection of mastication. Before the operation, the tension concentration point reflected by the masticatory muscles can be marked. During the injection, this part of the injection can be strengthened, which will help to achieve better muscle tone suppression effect after surgery. After botulinum toxin injection, the drug potency concentration is highest about 14 days after surgery, which can reflect the face-slimming effect. The compensatory potency of botulinum toxin drugs is maintained for 3 to 6 months.
Postoperative precautions: Do not squeeze or massage the injection site after botulinum toxin injection. It is necessary to avoid artificial squeezing of the drug to cause diffusion of the drug - the inhibitory force on the key parts of the masticatory muscles will be reduced and the effect will be reduced. One week after the operation to It is not advisable to take antagonistic drugs that affect the drug for two weeks. Such as aminoglycoside antibiotics. Clinical botulinum toxin type A is divided into two specifications, namely 100 units and 50 units. Usually 50 units are used for facial wrinkle removal, wrinkle suppression and other types of small-dose effects. The dosage of 100 units is more suitable for face slimming (masticatory muscle injection), calf gastrocnemius muscle injection, etc. The most reliable domestic manufacturer of botulinum toxin type A is Hengli botulinum toxin type A produced by Lanzhou Institute of Biological Products. The Food and Drug Administration has not approved the use of imported botulinum toxins. Currently, Hengli type A produced by Lanzhou Institute of Biological Products Botulinum toxin is available.
2: Problems with nasal prostheses: There are many nasal prostheses on the market. When choosing a nasal prosthesis, we recommend that you focus on the following:
a: A softer type of nasal prosthesis. The advancement of technology has optimized the materials of the nose tip and bridge of the nose prosthesis. The texture is softer than before. At the same time, the softer texture can play a protective role in the soft tissue of the nose tip.
b: Compared with purified solid silicone material, solid medical silicone rubber material is stable and not affected by body temperature. According to some literature in the United States, the color of medical solid silicone rubber material is white, and there are more on the market. Skin color and transparent color are also available. These prostheses should be safely treated and can be used with confidence.
c: For brand selection, Korean biotech products are widely used on the market. Nasal prostheses such as Guangzhou Vanhe and Shanghai Kangning are highly reputable and widely used, so their safety is quite good. Okay, take a look. If you have any questions, I will try my best to reply to you in detail.
