Learn more about Jawline Slimming at Skin Medical
A square jaw is often associated with a more masculine appearance. Jawline slimming aims to reduce the look of a square jaw and soften the angles to achieve a more feminine, oval appearance to the face.
The masseter muscles are large facial muscles located at the jaw. Their main function is to help a person bite down or chew. By injecting a muscle relaxant, the jawline can be made to appear slimmer.
The treatment works by reducing the contraction of the muscle, preventing it from clenching and bulging. As a result, the volume of the lower jaw area is reduced, presenting a narrower and more refined shape

At Skin Medical, we offer a range of treatments to address the Jawline Slimming effect. Our personalised treatment plans aim to restore your skin’s natural volume.
Results will develop gradually over a period of weeks. Initial effects can be seen around three weeks, with the full results generally peaking between eight and ten weeks. The effects of jawline slimming treatments can last up to one year. Regular treatments every six months can lead to better and longer-lasting results, as the muscle becomes less active and therefore smaller in size, depending on the individual patient.
The primary function of the masseter muscle is for chewing. Most patients do not experience any problems, as only part of the muscle is relaxed. However, some muscle fatigue is possible after chewing for a while. This is temporary and usually disappears within a week.
The procedure is practically painless and takes about 10 minutes. You can return to your usual activities straight afterwards, although it is advisable to refrain from exercise for 24 hours after treatment. There is no downtime after the procedure.
Our welcoming team are here to guide you through every step of the process. You can reach out to us by email, phone or send us a call back form.
