A large or square jaw is often caused by overly developed masseter (chewing) muscles, which add bulk to the lower jaw. Jaw-slimming injections work by relaxing and reducing the size of these overdeveloped chewing muscles. As these muscles relax the face becomes slimmer and the jaw develops a softer angle. Many patients find this treatment makes them look less aggressive, giving them a less tense, friendlier appearance. For ladies, it creates a more heart-shaped feminine face and for men, it corrects any excess bulk in the area that may have been caused by teeth grinding. We are also able to correct any asymmetries caused by clients chewing only on one side.
At NU-U, we use a special toxin to relax the overdeveloped muscles and reshape your face. This treatment has become popular among those looking for a fast change in their appearance without a significant recovery period. After about 3 weeks treatment will have changed the angular nature of a Jaw and your face will look slimmer.
This treatment is suitable for those with masseter muscles that are enlarged. Individuals with large bone structures in their jaw will not benefit from this and other treatments may be more suitable. Our experienced Doctors will discuss this with you at the initial aesthetics planning consultation.
