The shape of your face is the first thing people notice about you. A chiseled jawline conveys a strong, confident image that sends the message you’re healthy and in control. However, not everyone is born with the perfect jawline. If you have a square or wide jawline, Jawline Botox may help reduce the size of these muscles and slim your overall facial contour.
The masseter muscle is located on both sides of your face and connects your cheekbone to the lower part of your jawbone. It is the most prominent muscle in your face, making it easy to tell when someone is feeling stressed or clenching their teeth. Over time, clenching the jaw or grinding your teeth can make this muscle grow larger in response to the constant tension. The masseter muscle can also become enlarged due to genetics or over-development as you age.
When you get masseter Botox injections, the muscle can start to shrink and soften, resulting in a slimmer jawline over time. Botox relaxes the muscle by blocking the nerve endings so the neurotransmitter acetylcholine cannot be released, stopping any clenching or tensing movements in the jaw. During treatment, we will inject 3 to 6 points in the masseter muscles on each side of your face. A small amount of numbing cream can be applied to the area for those who have a low pain tolerance before your procedure.

Most patients can see results from their jawline Botox in about 14 days. However, you should not touch or rub the injected site for 2-4 hours after treatment. It is also important not to exercise or sweat, as this can affect the effectiveness of your results. You will need follow-up treatments every few months to maintain the slimming effects of your masseter Botox injections.
Compared to other dermal fillers, it takes longer for jawline Botox to kick in and take effect. This is because the muscles in this area are thicker than those in other areas of the face.
Palm says that the type of injection used will also affect how long it takes to see results. For example, the fine lines around your eyes (crow’s feet) tend to respond faster than other wrinkled areas like the frown lines between your eyebrows or very deep etched forehead lines.
The good news is that jawline Botox does not have the same side effects as a surgical procedure, and many people find this to be a safer, more natural alternative. Botox for the jawline is a gradual process that does not require surgery, which means that you can get results over time while maintaining a normal, functioning mouth. You can also expect that your jawline Botox will not move back to its previous state once the injections begin to wear off, which provides a permanent result. For these reasons, you should not expect to need frequent or extensive follow-up treatment sessions.
