Slimming with Muscle Relaxants
Are you seeking a non-surgical solution for a slimmer, more defined jawline? At Beauty by Doctor (BBD) in Bondi Junction, Sydney, we specialise in muscle-relaxing face slimming treatments, also known as masseter slimming or jawline slimming. Our expert team, led by Medical Director Dr Phoebe Jones, is dedicated to delivering subtle and natural-looking results, ensuring that less is truly more.
What Results Can I Expect from Muscle Relaxing Face Slimming Treatments?
Muscle-relaxants can slim your jawline and reduce the appearance of a square jaw, giving you a softer, more feminine appearance. This treatment is ideal for those seeking a non-invasive approach to facial slimming without the need for surgery.
How Do Face Slimming Treatments Work?
Muscle relaxing treatments work by targeting the masseter muscles, which are responsible for chewing and can contribute to a square-shaped jaw when overdeveloped. By relaxing these muscles, the treatments help to reduce the masseter muscle size and create a more slender jawline and a more heart or oval shaped face.
Bruxism
In some cases, masseteric hypertrophy results from bruxism, an involuntary or habitual teeth grinding. If left untreated, the masseters will enlarge, causing TMJ dysfunction, tooth damage, headaches and orofacial pain. There is often a connection between stress and bruxism. Muscle relaxing treatments into masseter muscles, which controls the TMJ, are often the key to effective treatment in the relief of bruxism.
What Can I Expect During My Face Slimming Treatments? Are They Painful?
Patients usually experience only minimal discomfort during the procedure, which is relatively quick and painless. Our skilled practitioners use fine needles to ensure a comfortable experience, and a topical numbing cream can be applied to reduce any sensation further; however, you need to present the clinic 30 - 45 minutes early for its application. Happy gas is also available.
How Long Does a Treatment Take?
Typically, the entire treatment takes between 15 and 30 minutes, making it a convenient option for those with busy schedules.
What Is the Downtime After a Face Slimming Treatment, and What Kind of Aftercare Is Required?
There is minimal downtime associated with face slimming treatments. Patients can return to their normal day-to day immediately after the treatment.
How Many Treatments Will I Need?
The number of treatments required varies depending on the individual's goals and the initial size of the masseter muscles. Two to three treatments about three months apart are sufficient for most patients to achieve their desired results.
How Long After the Treatment Will I See Results?
The product typically comes into effect within two weeks of treatment and patients will experience a functional improvement and less pain. It takes approximately 6 weeks for the muscle to atrophy to visibly see the facial slimming.
How Long Do the Results Last?
The slimming effects of the treatments can last for four to six months. To maintain the results, we typically recommend follow-up treatments every two to six months, depending on the individual.
What Is the Typical Cost of Botox Face Slimming Treatment?
The cost of Botox face slimming treatment varies depending on the number of units required and the specific needs of the patient. At Beauty by Doctor, an accurate cost estimate is provided after a personalised consultation to discuss your goals. Typically, a treatment would cost between $385 and $1100.
