A feminine, youthful jawline is often oval and gently contoured. However, some people naturally have a more square-shaped jaw, which can give the lower face a stronger, more masculine appearance. This is often due to an overdeveloped masseter muscle (the main muscle involved in chewing), which can also be influenced by habits like teeth grinding or genetics.
If you’re looking to slim your jawline and achieve a softer, more balanced profile, muscle-relaxing injections with Botulinum toxin may be the solution. This effective, non-surgical treatment can help create a naturally contoured look without any downtime.
Botulinum toxin is used to relax the masseter muscle, reducing its strength and bulk over time. This creates a naturally slimmer, more contoured appearance to the jawline, ideal for achieving that soft, oval shape. The treatment is quick and straightforward, taking only about 15 minutes, with results becoming visible after around two weeks.
While the initial effect lasts about 3-4 months, regular treatments can extend the results and gradually enhance the outcome, helping you maintain a balanced look to the lower face.
This treatment is painless with minimum downtime. The results are visible after fourteen days and last 4-6 months and are very effective when carried out by an expert.
Results start to appear after about 14 days, with the full slimming effect becoming visible within 4-6 weeks as the muscle relaxes.
The effects typically last between 3-4 months. Regular treatments can help maintain the defined shape and potentially extend the duration of results.
There’s virtually no downtime. Most clients resume their daily routines immediately, with only mild tenderness or swelling, if any, which usually resolves within a few hours.
If you answered yes to any of these, jawline slimming might be the right choice for you. Book a consultation to explore how this treatment can help you achieve a look that’s subtle, natural, and confidence-boosting.
