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

そもそもボトックスとは、ボツリヌス菌から産生された「A型ボツリヌストキシン毒素」のことを指します。
ボトックス注射は、この毒素を生理食塩水で希釈し、筋肉や皮膚に注入する施術。The injection causes transient paralysis of the muscles and skin at the site of injection, thereby improving the problem.。

気になる箇所への注射のみで治療が終わるため、施術時間は比較的短く、気軽に受けられることも特徴。ダウンタイムはほとんどなく、一時的に内出血や腫れといった症状が見られるケースがありますが、ファンデーションで隠せる程度でしょう。

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 sharperが見込めます。

またエラボトックスは、咬筋の発達に関与する歯ぎしりや食いしばりの予防に役立つケースも。咬筋に負荷がかかることによって起こる肩の凝りや張りを、和らげる効果も期待できます。

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 monthsに再施術を受けると、効果が持続するでしょう。

ただし硬いものを頻繁に咀嚼するなど、ボトックス注入後に咬筋に負担をかけすぎると、早い段階でエラが張ってしまうことも。効果が乏しくなったからといって頻繁にボトックスを打つと抗体ができてしまうため、適切な注入サイクルを守ることが大切です。

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 skin。このような症状が老け見えにつながるのです。
ボトックスの効果的な注入量や頻度は、一人ひとり違います。適切に施術を受けることで、皮膚のたるみや頬がこけるリスクを抑えられるでしょう。

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

エラボトックスを打っても効果が感じられない場合、注入量が少なかったり、希釈量に誤りがあることでボトックスの濃度が薄かったりするケースが原因として考えられます。注入するボトックス自体の量は一般的に「単位」という形で表記されますが、稀に「〇cc」と生理食塩水で希釈した後の量を提示しているクリニックもあります。ボトックスの量を「単位」で示している医療機関を選ぶか、「cc」表記の場合はカウンセリング時にボトックスの量が「何単位」なのか聞いてみると良いでしょう。

ボトックスの量が適切であるにもかかわらず効果を感じられない人は、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 rangeと、クリニックによってばらつきがあることが特徴。費用の差は、薬剤の種類や濃度、施術者の違いなどによって生じています。クリニックを選ぶ際は、料金設定に目がいきがちですが、施術者によって仕上がりに差がつくため、ボトックスの知識・技術を持つ経験豊富な医師が在籍しているかも重視してみてください。

「エラボトックスが上手い先生が見つからない」という場合、クリニックのホームページやSNSで症例写真や丁寧なカウンセリング・アフターケアを行っているかをチェックすると良いでしょう。
