Facial Slimming without a diet or sweatin’ at the gym?!
Yes, it’s true! This treatment is a technique that can help give a more V-shaped face and slimmer profile. Botox (or Dysport) for facial slimming is a popular service for people with a more masculine, square-shaped jawline or chubbier cheeks. This can be the result of having large masseter muscles which cause the face to look rounder and too square. It’s a great option for patients that do not want surgery, but also want a more evenly proportioned facial structure.

The Botox (or Dysport) injection relaxes the masseter muscle. Over time, the muscle will begin to shrink (or atrophy) because it is not moving and being used.
What is the masseter muscle?
