Swelling after the procedure is normal
You may experience swelling, bruising, or slight tenderness as the fat is being broken down. This is a normal reaction and usually subsides naturally within 1–2 weeks, so there's no need to worry.
Drink plenty of water
Drinking at least 1.5–2 liters of water per day helps the broken-down fat and waste products to be efficiently flushed out, enhancing the effectiveness of the treatment.
Gently massage the treated area
To promote lymphatic circulation and ensure even distribution of the treatment, gently massage the treated area for 2–3 days starting the day after the procedure.
Avoid irritating environments
For about a week after the procedure, avoid activities that may cause inflammation or worsen swelling, such as saunas, hot baths, intense exercise, alcohol consumption, and smoking.
Does it really work for stubborn facial fat that won't go away with diet?
Yes, it's especially effective for those areas. Contouring injections target localized fat cells in areas like the double chin and deep cheek fat, which are difficult to reduce through diet or exercise alone. By shrinking the size of these fat cells and promoting the elimination of stored fat, you can expect noticeable improvements in stubborn facial fat.
Does it also help with swelling, not just fat reduction?
Absolutely! Contouring injections stimulate lymphatic circulation, helping the body flush out waste and toxins. This process not only reduces fat but also alleviates chronic swelling, leaving your face feeling lighter and more refined overall.
How much fat will be reduced, and is the effect permanent?
Contour injections work by reducing the size of fat cells, much like letting air out of a balloon. Because the fat cells aren’t completely eliminated, they can enlarge again if proper aftercare is neglected. This treatment acts as a powerful booster for areas that are difficult to improve with exercise alone. When combined with consistent lifestyle and post-treatment care, the results can be maintained much longer and more effectively.
FACE CONTOURING INJECTION
This procedure targets stubborn facial fat without surgery. Using simple injections, it breaks down unwanted fat and promotes lymphatic circulation to reveal a hidden V-line. Effective fat-dissolving ingredients are injected directly into areas of concern, such as the double chin or chubby cheeks, breaking down fat cells and helping flush them out along with waste. Swelling is also reduced, leaving the face looking lighter, more defined, and sculpted.
