Jawline Slimming Perth - Teeth Grinding / Bruxism Treatment

Am I a candidate for jawline slimming?

Jaw slimming injections could be beneficial if you have a wide or square looking jaw. This may be due to your genetics and be a natural part of your anatomy or it could be due to the overuse of the large jaw muscles known as the masseter muscles.

If you involuntarily grind your teeth (known as bruxism), these muscles become larger and create symptoms such as headaches, pain, and dental problems. Inadvertently, as the masseter muscles increase in size, the lower face changes shape, becoming squarer in appearance and is often asymmetric.

how can wrinkle relaxers slim my jawline?

Wrinkle relaxers (anti wrinkle injections) specifically target the jaw muscles and work by gently relaxing them. It is important to note that the muscle is not paralysed.

When the jaw muscles are relaxed the muscle begins to shrink in size. This results in a softer, more oval shaped jawline and a slimmer looking face. The results can be quite dramatic.

In addition to face slimming, those who suffer bruxism often obtain substantial relief from the problematic symptoms.

Wrinkle relaxers will not address facial volume loss. A combined approach with jawline filler is required for structural jawline definition. Inadvertently cheek filler can assist with facial slimming as it can lift the face and change the facial dimensions.

Those with extraordinarily strong jaw muscles may need dosage adjustments at the follow up appointment.

Longevity of results is approximately 5 - 7 months however this will vary from patient to patient.

If the masseter muscle is treated regularly with good shrinkage effect then the results may start last longer in time.
