Face slimming (Masseter treatment)
Face slimming (Masseter treatment)
The Masseter treatment is a modern aesthetic procedure that helps refine the contours of the lower face and soften the jawline. It is particularly effective for those whose face appears wider or more angular due to overactivity of the chewing muscles.
The masseter muscle is the strong muscle responsible for chewing, which can become enlarged as a result of excessive strain (e.g. teeth grinding, jaw clenching). A Botox injection temporarily reduces the muscle's activity, so its volume gradually decreases and the face gains a narrower, more feminine or softer contour. It can also help reduce teeth grinding (bruxism), ease jaw tension and alleviate headaches around the jaw area.
