Masserter ( Jaw Slimming)
The masseter muscle is located on the side of the face and helps with chewing. If you grind your teeth, especially at night, you may have enlarged muscles due to regular use. This increase in muscle mass can affect the shape of your face.
Masseters can be greatly reduced with non-surgical treatments such as botulinum toxin (better known as Botox) creating a softer and slimmer jawline. In turn, resulting in a slimmer contour to your face. The relative thickness of the masseter muscle can be checked by feeling the jawline on the outside while clenching your teeth. This process is non-invasive as it involves a number of small injections into the masseter muscle. The procedure only takes a few minutes, it’s relatively quick and painless with no downtime. For many people, one or two sessions are enough. Others may need three or four to get the desired result. Masseter Botox lasts for at least 4-6 months after it gradually returns to its original shape.
