Our non surgical jaw reduction procedure uses masseter injections to provide a quick, painless solution. The overall result is a slimmer lower face.

What is involved in this procedure?
The practitioner will clean the skin over your masseter muscles and may apply a numbing gel to reduce discomfort.

When can I expect results and how long does treatment last?
The muscle relaxing effect will start to take place after 3-5 days, with the final effect seen 14 days later. It will take up to 6 weeks for the muscle to fully slim down, with results then lasting an average of 6 months. Treatment will be required again after this period of time for ongoing results.
