Introduction

Introduction to Facial Slimming

Strong masseters (or jaw muscles) on either side of the jaw can create a square and unattractively wide face. BOTOX® relaxes the muscles in the lateral jaw, creating a slimmer and softer profile.

What is Facial Slimming?

Facial slimming with BOTOX is a non-surgical treatment designed to contour and reshape the face, providing a more defined and elegant look. BOTOX works by relaxing the masseter muscles responsible for jaw movement, which contribute to a square or bulky jawline. When these muscles are relaxed, the jawline becomes slimmer and more refined, creating a softer, more youthful appearance.

What Are the Benefits of Facial Slimming?

With facial slimming, you can enjoy a slimmer face and improved overall appearance, giving you a younger look and more confidence.

Who Are the Best Candidates For Facial Slimming?

The best candidates for facial slimming with BOTOX are individuals who have a strong or square jawline due to overdeveloped masseter muscles. It is also suitable for individuals looking to soften the appearance of facial features and create a more youthful, oval-shaped face.

What’s the
First step?

During a consultation for facial slimming, Dr. Pirani will spend approximately 30 minutes discussing the treatment, after which he will create a custom treatment plan that addresses all of your concerns and goals. He will go over risks and possible complications and give you an idea of what you should expect in terms of results.

What to Expect on the Day of Facial Slimming Treatment

During your facial slimming treatment, Dr. Parani will mark the target areas along your jawline where the masseter muscles are located. Then, using a fine needle, small amounts of BOTOX will be precisely injected into these muscles to relax them temporarily.

Once the injections are complete, there’s usually minimal to no discomfort.
