Many people are concerned that even with dieting, facial fat is difficult to lose. Common concerns include a chubby face shape, sagging cheeks, and a frequently swollen face. This article explains how Shine V contour injection refines the facial line and in what cases it can be helpful.

Facial line concerns vary from person to person.

• If you have a lot of fat in your cheekbones, cheeks, and jawline, making your face look dull
• If your face frequently swells, making your lines appear blurry
• If your skin loses elasticity due to aging, causing sagging

Shine V is a contour injection that targets both fat breakdown and lymphatic circulation.

• An adipose-dissolving solution harmless to the human body is injected.
• It melts fat and aids in waste excretion to refine the facial line.
• It can also be used for faces that frequently swell.

Shine V is performed on the skin layer, not the muscles, so it can be considered in combination with jaw Botox.

• If your jaw muscles are well-developed, Botox can reduce the muscle size.
• A double chin and jawline fat can be refined with Shine V.
• Combining these two approaches can further slim and refine the facial line.

Shine V is known as a relatively low-burden procedure.

• The procedure time is short, making it easy to schedule.
• It is performed without incision, so swelling and bruising are minimal.
• Results and recovery may vary depending on the individual.

It is recommended to follow these guidelines during the recovery period:

1. Avoid salty and spicy foods.
2. Do not rub the treated area vigorously with your hands.
3. Refrain from alcohol and smoking, and avoid saunas and public baths for about a week.

Washing your face and applying makeup are possible on the same day, but it is best to do so gently.

For a three-dimensional line, it is important to consider both the front and side profiles, not just the front.

• Focusing only on the front profile can make the side profile appear flat.
• We plan by considering muscle, skin type, and fat distribution together.
• As it is performed on the face, it is recommended to receive it at a place with sufficient experience.
