One of the most popular non-surgical ways to enhance your appearance is to have a jaw reduction. As we use our jaw muscles over the years, they strengthen which can lead to them taking on a squarer appearance, creating a square looking jaw line. Strong and square jaw lines are attractive on a man, but women tend to prefer the opposite look. They would choose a softer, more oval chin. This is the reason jawline reductions are becoming one of the most popular treatments.
A square jaw is caused by the enlargement of the masseter muscle, a jaw muscle. This can be caused by:
• Excessive, or constant chewing causes the muscle to expand in size.
• Bruxism or teeth clenching. A habit of clenching and/or grinding the jaw, even in their sleep. This leads to the masseter muscle expanding or muscle hypertrophy (an increase in muscle size due to exercise), resulting in square jaw.
Fortunately, these muscles can be reduced again through a simple, quick and non-surgical jaw reduction procedure.
This non-surgical jaw reduction treatment is said to have revolutionised the aesthetic industry, particularly when it comes to sculpting the lower face. Before this new treatment was created anybody who wanted to soften their chin needed to undergo surgery, which often involved a prolonged recovery and sometimes even asymmetrical results.
At The Skin Culture we offer a procedure that is non-surgical, simple, quick and painless. The procedure includes 2 or 3 painless Botox injections into the masseter muscles on either side of the face. The procedure takes 5-10 minutes. Over the next coming days, the Botox will cause the muscles in the area to soften and weaken, reducing the overall size of the jaw.
You can visibly see the results within two weeks of treatment and the effect of the treatment lasts up to 6 months.
At The Skin Culture we tailor our treatment for every individual patient.
Results may vary.
There are lots of benefits to a non-surgical jawline reduction, the top five include:
1. A slimmer facial appearance: as the muscles in your face build up they can make it look heavy and slightly wider. After the Botox muscles get smaller in a space of weeks.
2. No surgery required: if the reason for your enlarged jaw is due to a build up in muscles, there is no need for surgery, Botox will fix it.
3. No recovery time: these simple injections don’t require a recovery time.
4. More feminine look: once the muscles in the face reduce and soften the jawline will look less squared and more feminine.
5. Long-lasting results: although it takes a couple of weeks to see the results, they do last for up to 6 months.
A non-surgical jawline reduction is minimal and produces excellent results.
Before you undergo any kind of treatment a specialist will sit with you and discuss whether the procedure is suitable. This will involve a consultation where our specialist will determine whether the fullness of your face is due to muscle or fat. They will also estimate the strength and the size of jaw muscles before recommending any treatment.
