Jawline / Face Slimming Treatment

This treatment is ideal for clients who feel their jawline looks too square, heavy, or wide, or for those seeking a more balanced and feminine or streamlined facial shape. Each treatment plan is customised to suit your facial structure and aesthetic goals, ensuring natural looking results.

Benefits

Jawline and face slimming treatments help soften the lower face by relaxing the masseter muscles, which can become enlarged from clenching, grinding, or habitual chewing activity. By reducing the bulk of these muscles, the lower face appears slimmer, more contoured, and more refined.

How It Works

Jawline slimming is performed by administering small, precise injections into the masseter muscles on each side of the face. As these muscles gradually relax, their size reduces over time, creating a softer and more tapered facial appearance.

The procedure typically takes around 15 to 30 minutes.
Some clients may experience mild tenderness or a slight feeling of chewing fatigue for a few days.

Initial improvements can usually be seen within 2 to 4 weeks, with continued refinement over the following weeks.
Results typically last 4 to 6 months depending on individual muscle strength and aesthetic goals.

Jawline slimming can be combined with other treatments, such as chin enhancement or cheek contouring, to further improve facial proportions and harmony.

What To Expect

Immediately after: Mild redness, slight swelling, or tenderness at injection points.

Days 2 to 4: Minor side effects typically settle. Some clients notice temporary chewing fatigue with firm foods.

Weeks 2 to 4: Visible slimming begins as the masseter muscles relax and reduce in size.

Weeks 4 to 8: Full slimming effect becomes more apparent. Jawline contouring may continue to refine with repeated treatments.

Results typically last: Around 4 to 6 months, depending on facial structure and muscle activity.

Aftercare Tips

Avoid touching or massaging the treated areas for at least 24 hours.
Avoid strenuous exercise for 24 hours to minimise swelling or bruising.
Avoid saunas, hot environments, and excessive sun exposure for the first day.
Choose softer foods temporarily if minor chewing fatigue occurs.
Avoid alcohol for 24 hours.
Pause active skincare products such as retinol or AHAs and BHAs for 24 hours if treated near the lower face.
Contact the clinic if you have any concerns during your recovery.
