What is Jawline Slimming Botox?
Jawline Slimming Botox
When most people think of Botox they think about erasing fine lines on the forehead, the creases around the eyes and between the eyebrows, but it is also highly effective for jawline slimming. This is a treatment called masseter muscle reduction and it involves the use of the neurotoxin botulinum toxin type A or better known as Botox. It is a non-surgical treatment that reduces the size of the masseter muscles to slim and contour the face for a more V-shaped facial appearance.
The masseter muscles are located in the lower part of the jaw and they are responsible for biting and chewing. In some cases they can be overdeveloped due to teeth clenching and grinding which is an involuntary activity that often occurs during sleep – a condition known as bruxism. As a result, the jawline can become square which may be a problem for some people as this is not considered ideal for most faces.
Jaw slimming botox with botox is a safe and efficient alternative to surgery which can help reduce the size of the masseter muscle. It is a simple procedure that only takes a few minutes and there is no downtime. Using this treatment it is possible to achieve a more v-shaped jawline which can be an advantage for many people.
What is Jawline Slimming Botox?
Jawline slimming botox is a popular treatment that can be performed at a medical spa or by a board-certified plastic surgeon. It is important to choose an experienced injector as they will know how to place the injections in the correct spot to get the best results. The treatment is painless and does not require a local anesthetic although those with sensitive skin or a low tolerance of needles should apply a numbing cream before the procedure. The injector will first perform a visual assessment of the area to determine where to inject. Then they will examine the masseter muscles by hand – palpating – to manually isolate them. Lastly, the botox is injected into the masseter muscles which will relax them causing them to shrink.
Once the botox has been injected it can take a few weeks for the effects to kick in. Some patients can experience symptomatic relief from the bruxism as early as a few days but it will generally take between 4 to 6 weeks for the full effects of masseter botox to be seen.
It is recommended that masseter Botox treatments are repeated every 3-6 months to retain the results and to avoid re-injuring the muscles. A skilled practitioner can create a unique treatment plan to suit the needs of each patient to give them a natural and youthful look.
