Achieve a slimmer face with Botox

Botulinum toxin (Botox) is used for different cosmetic purposes. We all know that Botox is widely used to smooth out the fine lines and prevents the appearance of wrinkles. It can also treat some other medical conditions such as hyperhidrosis. However, do you know that Botox is also used to create a slimmer and more defined contour of the face? In today’s article, I am going to explore the use of Botox to achieve a slim face.






Except for the effect of smoothing out the wrinkles, Botox can slim and contour the face. How is that possible? Well, there is a muscle located at the back of the jaw called “masseter muscle." These muscles make our face look square. Therefore, doctors inject Botox into this muscle to temporarily reduce the activity of these muscles and prevent them from moving. This kind of Botox procedure is called “Square jaw botox”. 

Square jaw botox is a pretty safe and simple procedure. After the consultation with the doctor, the numbing cream is applied, and then the doctor makes several injections into both sides of the jaw, lower face. Most patients do not feel any pain or discomfort during the procedure. A little downtime is the best advantage of Botox injection. 






However, there are a couple of guidelines that patients should follow for several days after the Botox. For example, touching, rubbing the injected area, lying down, drinking alcohol, and exercising are not allowed. One can start noticing the result in 5~7 days.
