How Does Jawline Slimming Botox Work?
Jawline Slimming Botox Work
As an FDA-approved neuromodulator, Botox works well to smooth wrinkles in the glabella and forehead. It also has the ability to slim, shape and define the jawline. Unlike surgical procedures, Botox injections are safe and relatively pain-free. They’re especially beneficial for those with a wide jawline caused by the size of their masseter muscles and can also provide relief from jaw pain or teeth grinding (bruxism).
The first step of the Jaw slimming botox treatment is to cleanse and numb the area. The medical cosmetic practitioner will perform a visual assessment to locate the muscle and determine whether or not Botox is appropriate for your needs. The masseter reduction procedure is typically performed at Body+Beauty Lab and can be done in-office, which means there’s no need to undergo a more invasive facial surgery or take time off from work for recovery.
Once the site has been disinfected and numb, the injections are delivered with the help of a tiny needle. A small amount of Botox is then injected into each side of the jaw muscle, causing the jaw to contract and tighten. This contraction causes the muscle to atrophies or shrink, resulting in a slimmer jawline. The procedure typically takes only 15 minutes to complete, and you can resume your normal daily activities immediately after.

During the treatment, patients can expect minimal discomfort and minor bruising. However, the results can take a few days to surface. Once the jaw slimming Botox begins to wear off, you’ll need to attend another appointment to get a follow-up injection. It is recommended that patients attend a review appointment every 3-4 months for two years in order to maintain their jawline slimming result. The effects of jaw slimming botox last three to six months before the masseter muscles start to contract again. Repeat treatments can be scheduled as needed to ensure the desired jawline results are maintained indefinitely.
In addition to jawline slimming, Botox can be used in conjunction with other non-invasive beauty treatments for the face and neck, such as dermal filler injections, Kybella and CoolSculpting. Injections of the masseter muscles will complement these other treatments by enhancing the overall contour of the lower portion of the face and slimming the jawline.
