The masseter treatment with muscle-relaxing injections typically requires up to 8 weeks to achieve its full effect. A review appointment will be scheduled for you 6-8 weeks following the treatment to assess the results.

While this treatment is particularly popular among Asian patients, masseter slimming injections are suitable for anyone seeking to slim down the lower portion of their face. Many individuals, regardless of their ethnicity, may feel that their facial shape is overly round or square and desire a more refined appearance. Masseter injections can also benefit those dealing with bruxism, a condition characterized by excessive jaw clenching. This injectable treatment contributes to a softer and more aesthetically pleasing facial appearance, with a more feminine quality.

Masseter muscle reduction is highly beneficial for individuals with Bruxism, a condition characterized by excessive teeth grinding or jaw clenching. This treatment can help alleviate Bruxism symptoms, including tooth hypersensitivity, headaches, and aching jaw muscles. Furthermore, muscle-relaxing injections can enhance the appearance of hypertrophied or enlarged jaw muscles, which might give the face an overly square shape. Masseter reduction is also suitable for those seeking a more sculpted appearance or individuals who believe their face is excessively square or round. They desire a slimmer and more delicate facial contour.

During masseter reduction treatment, the patient is asked to chew, allowing the injector to identify the outline of the masseter muscle. The procedure involves the application of ice to the treatment area, followed by several injections into each masseter muscle. A review appointment is scheduled for 8 weeks later to assess the treatment's outcomes.

Side effects from masseter treatment are rare but may include bruising and headaches. More unusual complications could involve additional treatment to address uneven or asymmetrical masseters or issues related to smiling. These complications are extremely rare when proper injection techniques are employed.

Although rare, bruising can occur with masseter injections. Most patients can confidently return to work immediately after the procedure.

Masseter slimming involves using a fine needle to inject the anti-wrinkle product directly into the masseter muscles of the lower jaw. Following the injection, clients can safely return home or resume their regular activities without any downtime.

This treatment is appropriate for adults, including older individuals. For those in older age groups with slower skin retraction, smaller initial doses may be used, with subsequent additions every 8 weeks to prevent the development of jowls.

Continued treatment is not mandatory, but most patients are pleased with the results and choose to continue. Without ongoing treatments, the masseters may gradually enlarge over time, and the square jawline may reemerge.

Regrettably, we cannot disclose product names on our website due to Australian TGA regulations.

After the initial jawline slimming treatment, patients attend a review appointment after 8 weeks. If the desired results are not achieved at this review, additional injections are recommended on that day. Once the desired results are attained, patients should have appointments every 3-4 months for 2 years. Subsequently, they transition to a maintenance dose, which is often significantly lower for some patients.

After achieving the desired results, treatment should occur approximately every 3-4 months at the initial dose. Following two years of treatment, the dose is gradually reduced to determine if a lower maintenance dose suffices. Often, a smaller dose is needed every 4 months.
