Jawline Slimming

Would you like to slim down or contour your jawline but not ready for a surgical approach? Facial jawline enhancement using non-surgical options are becoming more and more popular as patients desire to slim or define their jawline. Neurotoxins such as Botox or Dysport are the perfect option for jawline slimming. Neurotoxins injected into the masseter muscle slims down the jawline and alleviates temporomandibular joint (TMJ) pain. Botox can make a square or round jawline more visibly oval and more feminine. This treatment also alleviates clenching and grinding without affecting your chewing.

WHAT TO EXPECT DURING YOUR TREATMENT A thorough examination and consultation is performed before your treatment. The area that is to be treated is then cleansed with an antiseptic and the area is marked. Then neurotoxins are administered in a series of targeted small injections that normally take 5 to 10 minutes. We will ask that you wait in our waiting area to check you for any adverse reactions, which are extremely rare. You may then return to your normal daily routine. These injections will weaken the masseter's muscle contraction and in turn will slightly shrink the muscle. This is highly effective with minimal to no pain, and no down time.

HOW SOON SHOULD RESULTS BE EXPECTED: As soon as 3 to 7 days you should start noticing a decrease in TMJ pain, with full effect in 6 weeks.

The reduction in clenching or grinding will last six months. 

It is recommended that treatments be performed twice a year for optimal and continued results.
