Also known as a masseter reduction, facial slimming treatment uses muscle relaxants to reduce the size of the masseter muscles and slimming the face. Facial slimming is one of the many cosmetic treatments performed by our M1 cosmetic doctors at our Australian clinics. Jawline reduction from $298.

About Facial Slimming

The masseter muscles, located on either side of the jaw, are integral for chewing and holding the jaw in place. However, with excessive use or if they become overactive, the muscles can become bigger, making the face and jaw appear wider. This growth can occur from grinding your teeth or clenching your jaw, or simply regular use. A jaw slimming treatment can help to reduce the size of these muscles and slimming the face and jawline.

After your consultation is complete and your treatment plan has been determined, your M1 doctor will inject muscle relaxants (also known as anti-wrinkle injections) into the superficial head of the muscle. This will work to relax the muscles, stopping them from excessively contracting and clenching. This stops the masseter muscle from bulging and visually reduces the appearance of the lower face and jawline, slimming the overall face shape.

This treatment is ideal for those looking to slim their face. An added benefit of this treatment is it can help alleviate and reduce some medical conditions such as bruxism, tension headaches and grinding your teeth.

Jawline reduction takes between 15 and 30 minutes. The results are not visible immediately after treatment as the anti-ageing injections take up to 14 days to take effect.

Facial slimming treatment - FAQ

What is facial slimming?

Also known as masseter reduction or jawline reduction, facial slimming is an effective, non-invasive way to visually narrow the face non-surgically. The treatment uses anti-wrinkle injections or muscle relaxants to visually reduce the bulky masseter muscles (the muscles in the lower face used for chewing), narrowing the face.

How does masseter reduction treatment work?

During your one on one consultation with your M1 Doctor, they will check the strength of your facial muscles and determine how much anti-wrinkle product is needed. This is then injected with very fine needles to reduce pain.

When can I expect to see results?

As it takes some time for the relaxant to take full effect, you will notice a reduction in teeth grinding and headaches within 2 weeks and a slimmer facial appearance by 4 weeks. Your facial slimming treatment will last for 3-4 months. Individual results may vary depending on the strength of your muscles. After the effects have worn off we recommend a follow up treatment with your M1 doctor.

What is the aftercare plan for facial slimming?

After face slimming treatment with anti-ageing product, it is important to keep your head upright for at least 4 hours after treatment. We also recommend you avoid excessive physical activity for at least 48 hours and excessive sun exposure for at least 1 week.
