Masseter Reduction (Face Slimming)

Treatment Description

Masseter reduction treatment, also known as jawline slimming or masseter Botox, is a non-surgical cosmetic procedure designed to reduce the size and prominence of the masseter muscles. The masseter muscles are responsible for jaw movement and can sometimes become overdeveloped, resulting in a square or bulky jawline appearance. During the treatment, a small amount of botulinum toxin is injected into the masseter muscles, causing them to relax and reduce in size over time. This procedure not only creates a more balanced and softer facial contour but can also alleviate symptoms associated with teeth grinding and jaw clenching. Masseter reduction treatment is safe, minimally invasive, and offers a convenient solution for individuals seeking a slimmer and more defined jawline.
