What is Face Slimming?
Face slimming is a non-surgical treatment aimed at refining the contours of the lower face by targeting the masseter muscles. Using botulinum toxin injections (Azzalure), this procedure softens the jawline, reduces muscle bulk, and creates a more delicate, V-shaped facial appearance. It's also effective in addressing bruxism, a condition that causes teeth grinding, often leading to jaw discomfort or an overly pronounced masseter muscle.
Benefits of Face Slimming
-
Reduces jawline width for a slimmer, more feminine profile.
-
Alleviates discomfort associated with bruxism and jaw tension.
-
Provides subtle, natural results without surgery.
-
Enhances facial balance and symmetry.
What to Expect During the Procedure
Dr. med V. Camenzind starts with a consultation to evaluate your facial structure and discuss your goals. The treatment involves a series of quick and precise injections of Azzalure into the masseter muscles, which take approximately 15 minutes.
There’s no preparation required, and the procedure is minimally invasive. Results become noticeable within 5-7 days as the muscle relaxes, and the jawline gradually softens. You may experience mild soreness or tightness in the treated area, which typically subsides in 1-2 days.
