Facial slimming is a simple yet effective procedure that involves the injection of Botox into the masseter muscles in order to visibly narrow the face.  As Botox works to relax the muscle, the result of the treatment can be seen by preventing the masseter muscle from bulging.   The same treatment is also used to reduce teeth grinding.

​

The treatment, which is performed by a highly qualified doctor, is minimally painful and only take a few minutes to perform.  After your consultation the doctor will inject muscle relaxants into the muscle. You will see results of the treatment in 3-4 weeks which is longer than other areas treated with Botox.

FAQ

How Does Face Slimming / Masseter Botox Work?
Facial slimming with Botox works by relaxing specific muscles in the face, specifically the masseter muscles, which can help create a more angular, square jawline. When these muscles are injected with Botox, they temporarily weaken and shrink in size. This process can lead to a tapered, slimmer appearance around the lower jaw, especially around the jaw. In addition to reducing the size of the jaw, Botox for facial slimming can also help reduce teeth grinding or jaw clenching, which is often a side effect of overdeveloped masseter muscles.

How much Botox do I need?
The amount of botox needed in a certain area of ​​the face varies per person. This depends on age, depth of wrinkles and muscle strength. You can also want a more natural look with some movement or you can go for the frozen look where there is no more movement. Wrinkles that are in the face at rest will decrease a little bit, but certainly with deeper wrinkles, these will not disappear completely with a treatment. If after 3 weeks for facial slimming a little more botox is needed, you can always come by for a top-up for a small fee.

Is Masseter Botox painful?
The botox treatment uses a very small needle, which means that the injections are generally not experienced as very painful. If you want to be assured of being completely pain-free during the treatment, we can always use an anesthetic cream.

When will I see the result?
You will not see any results immediately after the treatment. After a few weeks you will start to notice that there is less movement in the treated area. After 3-4 weeks after the treatment you will see much more results and after 3-4 weeks you will see the final result.

How long will the results of Face Slimming last?
How long the botox treatment remains effective varies from person to person. The average period is 3 to 4 months. With repeated treatments in succession, you can expect a prolonged result.

Is there any swelling or bruising?​ 
It is not common for swelling or bruising to occur with Botox treatment. Often, there are no visible signs that you have been treated immediately after treatment.
