Jawline Slimming Botox Procedure
The shape of your face is one of the first things that people notice about you, especially during a video call or a selfie. Some face shapes are considered beautiful, with a chiseled look that signals strength and masculinity, while others may be less desirable. Fortunately, there are non-invasive methods of achieving the desired facial contour without having to go under the knife. One such option is jawline slimming Botox.
Injections of botulinum toxin can reduce the size of muscles and relieve tension, which can help slim the jawline for a more contoured appearance. The Jawline Slimming Botox procedure is also popular for alleviating pain resulting from teeth clenching, known as bruxism. This is a common condition that can cause neck and jaw pain, headaches, and facial tenderness. During the jawline slimming botox treatment, an experienced injector places multiple small injections into the masseter muscles (the chewing muscles located in the jawline). These injections can result in a gradual reduction of the muscle’s prominence, helping to reshape the jawline and improve facial symmetry.
Using botulinum toxin for jawline slimming is a safe, effective treatment that has been approved by the FDA for use on both men and women. The injections are quick and typically take no more than 15 minutes to complete. After the treatment, patients are free to resume their normal activities without any downtime or recovery. Some patients like to ice the injection sites afterward for added comfort and to speed up the healing process.
How Long Does a Jawline Slimming Botox Procedure Typically Take?
While plastic surgery is an option for slimming the jawline, it is costly and can carry serious side effects. A non-invasive method of achieving a slim face shape is to undergo a jawline slimming Botox procedure, which can be performed in the comfort of our office and can result in permanent results that are not only cost-effective but also long-lasting.
During a jawline slimming Botox treatment, an experienced injector will begin the session by disinfecting the injection site and if they suspect the patient has a low pain threshold, they may use a numbing cream to ensure that the area is comfortable. Next, the injections are administered to each of the jawline muscles. The number of injections per jaw varies depending on the amount of muscle bulk and the desired results. Injections of masseter Botox usually range from 20 to 30 units per side for ideal jawline slimming results.
After the jawline slimming Botox procedure is completed, it is recommended that patients apply a cold compress to the treatment area in order to reduce swelling and discomfort. It is also important that patients avoid rubbing or stretching the treated area for 24 hours after the treatment to ensure that the neurotoxin fully settles into place.
A slimmed-down jawline can boost confidence and send a message of health, masculinity, or femininity, depending on the desired effect. Botox for the jawline can be paired with dermal fillers to create a full facial rejuvenation that is both quick and affordable, allowing you to achieve your dream face shape without the risk or expense of invasive surgery.
