Jawline Slimming

Jawline slimming treatment works by targeting the masseter muscles with injections of neuromodulators, which are substances that temporarily relax muscles. This process reduces the muscle’s size and strength, leading to a more refined and softer jawline appearance.

The procedure is minimally invasive, offering a cosmetic solution without surgery.

Over time, the treated area achieves a slimmer, more V-shaped contour, enhancing the overall facial aesthetic.

This treatment also helps alleviate symptoms for those who grind their teeth or suffer from bruxism.

N.B Bruxism is a medical-dental condition and, as such, requires assessment and management by a dentist or orthodontic specialist.

Bruxism is the involuntary grinding or clenching of teeth, often during sleep, leading to tooth wear, jaw pain, and headaches. It can strain the temporomandibular joint (TMJ), contributing to TMJ disorders. Factors like stress, misaligned teeth, or sleep disturbances may trigger bruxism. Treatments, including dental guards and stress management techniques, aim to alleviate symptoms and protect the teeth and TMJ.

Injecting muscle relaxants into the masseter muscles, the key contributors to jaw bulkiness, effectively slims the jawline and mitigates bruxism symptoms. This straightforward procedure, requiring minimal recovery time, begins to show effects within a week and can last between 4 to 8 months, with a typical dosage ranging from 30 to 50 units per side. It’s particularly beneficial for those experiencing masseter muscle hypertrophy, offering aesthetic enhancement alongside significant relief from jaw pain, headaches, and tension.

The temporalis muscle, another contributor to chewing and jaw closure, can also be targeted with these injections. Although less common for cosmetic reasons, treating the temporalis muscle can further alleviate tension-related headaches, providing a comprehensive approach to facial relaxation and contour refinement. This expanded approach ensures functional and aesthetic improvements, addressing underlying muscular tensions contributing to facial structure and discomfort.

Jaw-slimming treatments typically show initial results within a week, with the full effect becoming visible after 2 weeks.

The duration of these effects varies, often lasting between 3 to 6 months. Repeat treatments can maintain the slimming effect, with some individuals experiencing longer-lasting results over time due to muscle atrophy.

When performed by a Registered Nurse at The Cosmetic Studio Noosa, Jawline slimming is considered safe. The procedure involves injections that have a good safety profile and minimal risk.

As with any medical treatment, there are potential side effects, such as bruising, swelling, or asymmetry of the smile, but these are typically temporary. It’s crucial to consult with the team at The Cosmetic Studio Noosa to discuss your medical history and the specific risks before treatment.
