Face Slimming (Botulinum Toxin)
Facial Slimming without a diet or sweating at the gym?
Yes, it’s true! This treatment is a technique that can help give a more V-shaped face and slimmer profile. Botox (Botulinum Toxin) for facial slimming is a popular service for people with a more masculine, square-shaped jawline or chubbier cheeks. This can be the result of having large masseter muscles which cause the face to look rounder and too square. It’s a great option for patients that do not want surgery, but also want a more evenly proportioned facial structure.
How does facial slimming work?
The botulinum toxin injection relaxes the masseter muscle. Over time, the muscle will begin to shrink (or atrophy) because it is not moving and being used.
What is the masseter muscle?
The masseter muscles lie at the sides of our jaw and are responsible for chewing and clenching the jaw. When these muscles are enlarged in a condition called masseter muscle hypertrophy. These bulky muscles can broaden the sides of our faces and make them look wider and square shaped.
