Face Reshaping
Face reshaping with Botox is a specialized treatment to reduce an overly square jawline to a more attractive “V-shaped”, narrow lower face. A slender jawline conveys a more feminine appearance and makes us look slimmer. The treatment can also relieve bruxism, a condition characterized by excessive teeth grinding.
How does face reshaping with Botox works ?
A common cause for a square jawline is due to the presence of a bulky chewing muscle known as the masseter muscle. Botox can be administered to selectively reduce the activity and size of the enlarged muscle. Just like how we work out at the gym to build up muscles mass, once the muscle activity decreases, the muscle bulk shrinks.
How is the procedure like ?
Face reshaping with Botox is a simple 10-minute-procedure without any recovery time. Pain is minimal as topical anaesthetic cream will be applied before the procedure.
How soon can I see the results and how long does it last ?
Face reshaping with Botox will enhance the jawline in a subtle manner. The results are natural looking and will be visible after 4 to 6 weeks. The effects last up to 6 months.
Are there any post-procedure care instructions ?
After face reshaping with Botox, you may immediately resume your daily activities. There is no swelling or pain and bruising is rare. For long lasting results, do avoid excessive gum chewing and avoid chewing hard food items like ice, peanuts or tough meats.
