Jaw Botox Consultation & Procedure

Following your consultation and detailed facial evaluation at CosmeDocs, you proceed with the jaw muscle Botox procedure. The treatment is quick and relatively painless, thanks to the use of very fine needles known as “invisible needles.”

  1. The practitioner cleans and numbs the area before marking the injection sites if necessary. The dosage, customized for each patient and for each side, is based on the doctor’s assessment.
  2. You may experience a slight pinch or discomfort during the injection (typically 2-3 per side), but this feeling is usually short-lived. The treatment takes less than 60 seconds per side.
  3. After the treatment, we provide you with post-treatment instructions. Commonly, these include avoiding exercise for 24 hours, including steam rooms and saunas. Full written details are provided, along with a complimentary follow-up to assess the effect of the dose. Any necessary adjustments are complimentary.

Our assessment of your muscle size is based on the width of your face, the bulk of your muscle, as well as your fat and bone mass. Dosages are administered according to muscle size and facial contouring preferences.

Dose, Price & Results

We provide a standard treatment price covering the maximum dose needed for effectiveness. Low doses don’t work, and very high doses may cause side effects like jawline skin sagging. At CosmeDocs, our experience has led to a safe yet highly effective approach. Results appear from the second week to months 4-6, and with each subsequent treatment, the need for repeats may extend.

Masseter Botox before and after results showcase a significant reduction in the masseter muscle, leading to a more slender and defined jawline and lower facial contour. The extent of Botox injections, including their frequency and units, is determined by a thorough examination of the lower face and the size of the masseter muscle.

Causes Of a Wide Face

Adipose Tissue (Fat)

Excess adipose maybe the issue. This can dissolved using liposuction or small PDO Threads (not cogs) around the jawline and chin area.

Loose Sagging Skin

With ageing the face volume depletes and skin may sage. Advanced non-surgical skin or face lifting procedures utilise dermal fillers or PDO Threads

In such cases, jaw slimming Botox may be a great solution for such patients. Other patients who are most suitable for Botox in masseter are those who:

  • Desire a more balanced and harmonised facial profile

We creatively weaken certain parts of the jaw muscle sculpting it chemically to enhance your face shape desirably.

What is the difference between Jawline Botox and Jawline Fillers?

Jawline Botox (botulinum toxin) and Jawline Fillers are non-surgical injectable treatments that are aimed at enhancing your facial profile. The procedures are carried out by an experienced doctor at CosmeDocs after a thorough facial assessment of the patient.

Jaw Botox injection is meant to relax your overactive muscles that are involved in chewing (masseter hypertrophy). It helps to shrink the size of the jaw muscle also known as masseter muscle hypertrophy, in a matter of a few weeks without the need of any surgery.

Jaw Fillers, on the other hand, helps to restore the volume along the jawline where contour and definition has been lost due to age. Many young patients, too, prefer jawline fillers to soften a square appearance and get a non-invasive chiselled facelift in minutes.

Usually, men and women can benefit from both the aesthetic treatments at the same time if they desire to instantly improve their facial balance. However, a prior detailed consultation is crucial before signing up for Botox treatment and non surgical jaw enhancement.

Will I have problems speaking and chewing my food after jaw botox injections?

In a word, no. The non-surgical jaw reduction treatment partially relaxes your masseter muscles, causing them to be less active. As a result, your bulky chewing muscle shrinks (masseter muscle hypertrophy) in just a few weeks. However, after chewing, you may experience slight fatigue around the muscle area, but this is merely a momentary event that will subside, usually within a week.

To conclude, a masseter Botox injection will not affect your speech or eating activity in any way. On the other hand, your unbearable jaw pain is significantly relieved.

Does Jawline Botox Hurt?

Botox in masseter is not all painful for the most patients. The reason behind this is that at CosmeDocs, experts usually use a skin numbing agent before injecting Botox (botulinum toxin) to avoid any possible discomfort.

Moreover, we use very tiny needle during the procedure to minimise any painful experience.
Many patients report a mere pinch or prick during the Botox injections and feel slight soreness immediately after the procedure. Nevertheless, that sensation usually goes away on its own with or without icing the treated areas.
