COSMETIC TREATMENTS

Facial Slimming

Facial slimming is a popular non-surgical treatment designed to refine and contour the lower face. It works by targeting the masseter muscles, which sit at the back of the jaw. When these muscles are overactive or enlarged, they can create a broader, square appearance. By relaxing the masseters, the jawline softens, the lower face narrows and the overall facial shape becomes more refined and balanced.

In addition to its cosmetic benefits, facial slimming can also ease tension caused by teeth grinding or clenching, helping improve comfort and jaw function.

Treatment Information

What are the benefits of facial slimming?
 

Facial slimming offers a range of aesthetic and functional improvements that build gradually over time.

  • A more refined and tapered lower face
  • A softer, heart-shaped appearance
  • Relief from jaw tension, clenching and grinding
  • Improved facial symmetry
  • Subtle, natural looking enhancement
  • Quick sessions with little impact on your routine
Is facial slimming right for me?
 

Facial slimming may be suitable if you:

  • Have a wide or square jawline caused by strong masseter muscles
  • Experience clenching, grinding or tension headaches
  • Feel discomfort when chewing or speaking
  • Want to soften the lower face without surgery
  • Prefer a gentle, gradual contouring outcome

During your consultation, your practitioner will assess:

  • The size and strength of your masseter muscles
  • Whether jaw width is due to muscle, fat or bone
  • Your bite function and any jaw related symptoms
  • Your goals and how facial slimming fits your overall facial balance

This ensures your treatment plan is personalised and in harmony with your facial structure.

How many sessions will I need for facial slimming and how long do results last?
 

Most clients begin to see changes after the first treatment, with the best results appearing around 6 to 8 weeks as the muscles gradually soften.

  • Many start with one session and review progress
  • Some may benefit from two or three sessions depending on muscle strength
  • Results generally last four to six months
  • Maintenance appointments help keep the jawline shape refined

Your practitioner will guide you based on your muscle activity and desired level of contour.

Can facial slimming help with clenching or teeth grinding?
 

Yes. This treatment is highly effective for easing symptoms linked to grinding and clenching.
You may experience:

  • Less tightness through the jaw
  • Fewer tension headaches
  • Reduced sensitivity in the teeth
  • Greater comfort when talking or eating

The functional benefits often go hand in hand with improved facial shape.

Is there any downtime after facial slimming?
 

Downtime is minimal. You may experience:

  • Mild tenderness when chewing
  • Slight swelling or tiny entry marks
  • A temporary feeling of fatigue in the jaw muscles

These effects usually settle within hours to a day. Most people return to work or social activities immediately. A soft diet may be suggested for the remainder of the day.

Can facial slimming be combined with other treatments?
 

Yes. Facial slimming works well alongside other aesthetic treatments, such as:

  • Chin or jawline sculpting
  • Cheek or mid-face volume treatments
  • Neck or lower face skin tightening
  • Skin treatments that refine texture and tone

A tailored plan can be created if you are addressing multiple concerns.
