Many people have heard of botulinum toxin injections, and everyone knows that it usually starts to work in three to five days, and the effect lasts for five to six months. So in fact, if you want to maintain a better effect, you need to inject repeatedly. So take myself as an example. My frown line is the frown line. I have been injected four times, and the masseter muscle has also been injected four times. In fact, if you inject continuously, its effect will last longer and longer. For example, after you inject the masseter muscle for the first time, you may be able to manage it for half a year. In half a year, you are still very thin and it will not rebound to 100% of the original, basically it will rebound to the original 80%. When you take another shot at six months, it will last for nine to twelve months for the second time. That is to say, at twelve months, you can make a third shot.
