While face-slimming injections are celebrated for their transformative effects, concerns about their safety are growing. Reports of adverse reactions, including swelling, bruising, and uneven results, have prompted health authorities to issue warnings about the risks associated with these treatments.
In the United States, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved deoxycholic acid (Kybella) for submental fat reduction but emphasizes that it should only be administered by licensed professionals. Similarly, botulinum toxin injections must be performed by trained practitioners to avoid complications such as muscle weakness or asymmetry.
In some countries, the lack of regulation has led to an increase in unlicensed clinics offering cheap but potentially dangerous treatments. In China, for example, authorities recently shut down several underground clinics after patients reported severe side effects, including infections and nerve damage.
Dermatologists advise patients to thoroughly research clinics and practitioners before undergoing face-slimming injections. They also recommend discussing medical history and expectations during consultations to ensure safe and satisfactory outcomes. As the industry grows, calls for stricter regulations and standardized training are becoming louder.
