What are Slimming Treatments?
Slimming treatments utilise muscle-relaxing injections as a clinical procedure to contour the face. Dr Phoebe Jones and her team focus on placing the solution into targeted facial muscles to reduce muscle activity, which may result in a more defined appearance. This approach is often used for areas of concern such as a wider jawline or masseter hypertrophy.

How Do Slimming Treatments Work?
The treatment works by temporarily blocking nerve signals in the treated muscles. In the context of face slimming, this process reduces the prominence of targeted muscles that contribute to a wider or fuller lower face. By selectively addressing these muscles, the treatment aims to achieve a more contoured facial profile.

What Outcomes Can Be Expected?
Slimming treatments can reduce the prominence of specific facial features, such as the jawline. They can also be used to manage bruxism (teeth grinding) which may contribute to facial bulk, resulting in a more balanced facial contour. Outcomes vary between individuals, and a personalised assessment is required to determine suitability.
