Botox Work in Slimming the Jawline
The jawline is one of the most prominent features on the face, but it can change shape over time. Many people notice that their jawline becomes larger and less defined as they age, but luckily there are non-surgical treatments that can help slim the area and create a more defined appearance. One of these popular treatments is jaw slimming botox. This quick and easy treatment targets the masseter muscles that can cause a squared facial shape, but it relaxes these muscles to help slim the face.
Unlike other botox injections, which target wrinkles and fine lines, jawline slimming botox is specifically designed to reduce muscle movement. The treatment uses a neuromodulator called botulinum toxin, which works by blocking the nerve signals that cause your facial muscles to contract. As a result, your facial muscles will stop contracting and begin to atrophy over time. The jawline is a large muscular area and can be difficult to slim down, but because it is treated with botulinum toxin, it can be reduced over time through regular injections.
Jaw slimming botox is a very safe treatment, especially when administered by trained medical practitioners. However, it is important to know that your practitioner may have to inject the botox deep into the masseter muscle in order to slim the area effectively. The procedure lasts only a few minutes and requires no downtime. Patients should note that the results will eventually wear off, and you will need to return for repeat treatments every three to six months.
How Does Botox Work in Slimming the Jawline?
During a jawline slimming botox treatment, your practitioner will first perform a visual assessment of the area. They will then use their hands to feel the muscles in the jaw and identify which ones need to be targeted. After identifying the correct areas, they will then administer the botox injections using a small needle that is very comfortable. The amount of botox needed to slim the jawline varies from person to person, but generally it is around 25 units.
Once the jawline has been slimmed, the results are long-lasting. However, the masseter muscles will start to regain their strength over time, and you will need to return for regular sessions in order to maintain your new slim and defined jawline.
In addition to helping you achieve a more sculpted and defined jawline, masseter botox can also help relieve other cosmetic issues like jaw pain, temporomandibular joint (TMJ) soreness, and neck and shoulder tension. It can also improve your overall posture and make you look more confident.
Although there are some risks to consider, most patients who undergo jawline slimming botox are very happy with the results. It is important to remember that you will need to return for regular follow ups, but it is a very safe and effective way to slim the face and get a more aesthetically pleasing contour.
