FTT Skin Clinics – Masseter Botox Treatment.
Masseter Botox treatment, also known as jawline slimming or jawline contouring, involves the injection of Botulinum Toxin Type A into the masseter muscles, which are located at the jawline. This relaxes the muscles, causing them to shrink in size over time, resulting in a more refined and contoured jawline.
Benefits of Masseter Botox Treatment.
- Achieve a slimmer jawline: Reduce the appearance of a square or overly prominent jawline for a more aesthetically pleasing facial profile.
- Alleviate jaw pain: Masseter Botox can help alleviate symptoms associated with bruxism (teeth grinding) and temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders by relaxing the muscles responsible for these conditions.
- Non-surgical solution: Unlike surgical procedures such as jawline reduction surgery, Masseter Botox treatment is minimally invasive and requires no downtime, allowing you to resume your daily activities immediately.
- Long-lasting results: While individual results may vary, many patients experience noticeable improvements in jawline contour that can last for several months.
The treatment.
- Consultation: Prior to treatment, you will have a consultation with our experienced medical professional to discuss your goals and medical history.
- Treatment: During the procedure, Botulinum Toxin Type A is injected into the masseter muscles using a fine needle. The injections are relatively painless and typically take around 15-30 minutes to complete.
- Post-treatment care: After the procedure, you may experience mild swelling or bruising at the injection sites, but this should subside within a few days. You can resume your normal activities immediately following treatment.
