Jaw Slimming
Service Description
Jaw slimming is a non-surgical cosmetic procedure that involves the use of botulinum toxin injections to reduce the size and contour of the jawline. This treatment is particularly popular among those looking to achieve a softer, more feminine jawline or to reduce the appearance of a square jaw, often caused by enlarged masseter muscles due to genetics or teeth grinding. The procedure typically takes about 15 to 30 minutes. It begins with a consultation to discuss the client's aesthetic goals and to evaluate the structure of the jawline. The practitioner will determine the appropriate injection sites to target the masseter muscles effectively. The area is cleansed, and a topical anaesthetic may be applied to minimise discomfort. Botulinum toxin is then injected into the masseter muscles. By relaxing these muscles, the jawline gradually becomes less prominent, leading to a softer, more contoured appearance. The effects of the toxin help in reducing the overall width of the jaw, enhancing facial harmony. Recovery from jaw slimming injections is straightforward, with minimal downtime required. Patients may experience slight redness or swelling at the injection sites, but these symptoms usually subside quickly, allowing for an immediate return to daily activities. The slimming effect starts to become noticeable within a few weeks as the muscles atrophy slightly from reduced use. The results typically last between 4 to 6 months, and repeat treatments are necessary to maintain the slimmed appearance.
