Benefits

  • Slimmer jawline
  • No downtime
  • Often lasts 4–6 months

Expected results

The jaw gradually becomes slimmer over four to eight weeks. The effect usually lasts 4–6 months.

Overview & Procedure

What the treatment is and how it's performed

What it is

The masseter is the large chewing muscle on the sides of the jaw. When the muscle is large, the lower face can look wide and square. Muscle-relaxing injections in the masseter weaken the muscle, so it gradually becomes smaller. The jawline can then become slimmer and the face shape softer.

  • One treatment, with a check-up after four weeks.
  • A slimmer jaw often takes two to three treatments a few months apart.
  • A new treatment after three months at the earliest.

  • A doctor or practitioner goes through your health, your medicines and what you want.
  • You are asked to clench your teeth, so the chewing muscle can be felt and the points marked.
  • The skin is cleansed.
  • Small amounts are injected with a very fine needle at set points in the muscle.

Experience & Recovery

Pain level, downtime and healing

Most people rate the discomfort at 1–3 out of 10. The needle is very fine, and each prick lasts only a moment. Numbing is not usually needed.

  • Common: small bruises, tenderness or a mild headache for the first few days.
  • Common: chewing can feel weaker for the first few weeks, especially with chewy food.
  • Less common: a slightly uneven smile for the first few weeks, if a neighbouring muscle is affected.
  • Very rare: allergic reaction.

  • Stay upright for the first four hours.
  • Do not massage or rub the area for the rest of the day.
  • Avoid hard exercise, saunas and hot baths for the first day.
  • Wait a week before other treatments in the area, such as massage and facials.

No downtime. Small marks and slight swelling where the needle went in usually settle within an hour. You can go back to work the same day.

Expectations & Safety

Who it's for and safety information

  • A doctor assesses you before the first treatment.
  • The effect comes gradually, because the muscle needs time to become smaller.
  • The effect is not permanent. The muscle builds up again when the treatment is not repeated.

  • A wide or square jaw caused by a large chewing muscle.
  • A wish for a softer and slimmer face shape.

  • A wide jaw caused by bone structure or fat. The treatment then has little effect.
  • Loose skin along the jawline. When the muscle becomes smaller, the skin can look looser.
  • Teeth grinding and jaw pain. There is a separate medical treatment for that, after assessment by a doctor or dentist.

A slimmer jaw shows gradually over four to eight weeks. The effect usually lasts 4–6 months, often longer with repeated treatments.

  • Pregnancy and breastfeeding.
  • Nerve and muscle diseases, such as myasthenia gravis.
  • Infection or inflammation in the area.
  • Allergy to the contents or an earlier reaction to such treatment.
  • Some medicines, for example certain antibiotics, can strengthen the effect. Always tell the clinic about the medicines you use.

Contact the clinic if you get a clear unevenness in your smile or face that does not pass. Call 113 if you have trouble swallowing, speaking or breathing.
