FAQs
How long does it last?
The effects of the treatment can last between 3-4 months. After this you will need to undergo subsequent treatments in order to maintain results, as the muscle relaxant will wear off and the masseters will strengthen again. However, effects will begin to last longer once several treatments have taken place, which means that follow-up sessions may only be required every 6 months. As every patient is unique, some may require more or less maintenance than others.
What happens during the treatment?
The face slimming treatment is quick and considered to be relatively comfortable. The visit will last less than an hour, there is no downtime required and patients can return home or to work immediately after the procedure. Most patients report very little discomfort, however ice and, on rare occasions, numbing cream can be used to minimise discomfort if necessary. Anti-wrinkle product is administered via a thin needle directly into the lower jaw. The product is measured in units, and the volume of units required depends on the size of your masseter muscles.
What happens after the treatment?
It is common to experience minor side effects such as swelling, redness and slight bruising immediately following the treatment, however these usually disappear within a few days. It is recommended that you avoid touching your lower face for at least 12 hours after receiving the treatment. Serious risks or complications caused by the procedure, such as infection numbness and drooping, are extremely uncommon.
You will begin to notice a change after a few days, and the full jawline slimming effect will be noticeable within 10 days. Other facial muscles will continue to function as normal, and your facial expressions will not be affected by the treatment.
