Jawline Slimming Treatment

Jawline slimming with masseter Botox is a cosmetic procedure that involves the use of botulinum toxin (Botox) injections to slim and contour the jawline. The masseter muscle is a large muscle located on the sides of the jawline, responsible for chewing and clenching. Overdeveloped masseter muscles can cause a square and heavy appearance to the lower face, which some individuals may find undesirable.

Botox injections in the masseter muscle can relax the muscle and reduce its size, resulting in a slimmer and more contoured jawline. This treatment is suitable for individuals with a wide or square jawline, teeth grinding or jaw clenching habits, or for those who desire a more feminine or streamlined appearance to their lower face.

The procedure is quick and straightforward and typically takes only a few minutes to complete. A topical anesthetic cream may be applied to the skin to reduce discomfort during the injections, but this is usually unnecessary. Patients can return to their normal activities immediately after the treatment, with no downtime required.

Results from jawline slimming with masseter Botox can take up to 1-2 weeks to fully develop, and the effects typically last for 3-6 months. After this time, the masseter muscles will gradually regain their strength and size, and patients may choose to have follow-up treatments to maintain their results.
