It had been used in the past 20 years and approved by 83 countries, and has also been widely used by tens of millions of people. Its safety and effectiveness have been proven.

Contour Shaping

In CCOCO BEAUTY, the most popular areas treated with contour shaping botox injections include: mandibular margin lifting/face-lift injection/shoulder injection/thigh injection

Principle: The human brain transmits chemical electrode messages to the muscles, causing muscle contraction and movement. These messages are transmitted to muscles through nerves through a substance called acetylcholine. If excessive amounts of acetylcholine are released during the process, the muscles will become tight due to overactivity. Injecting Botox into the muscles, by inhibiting the transmission of acetylcholine transmitter at the neuromuscular junction, the muscles gradually atrophy and achieve the effect of thin face, legs and shoulders.

Botox injections work excellent with face slimming. If you are self-conscious about your jawlines and desire a heart or “V” shaped face, you may consider botox injections to create a more contoured appearance to the face. At CCOCO BEAUTY, we use anti-wrinkle injections to relax the masseter muscle. This muscle is located at the back of your cheeks and is responsible for helping you chew. By relaxing this muscle, it’s not possible to grind the teeth as much as it will soften the jaw. Treating the masseter muscle with anti-wrinkle injections will not affect your facial expressions or ability to chew.
