Jaw Botulinum Toxin Treatment

What is Jaw Botulinum Toxin?

Instead of targeting wrinkles, it helps individuals pursue a “V-shaped” face by reducing the size of the jaw muscles a.k.a the masseters.

Large jaw muscles may cause one’s face shape to appear more squarish. Botulinum Toxin relaxes the jaw muscle which then undergoes disuse atrophy and shrinks in size.

Teeth grinding (Bruxism) is also improved with Jaw Botulinum Toxin because relaxation of the masseters will reduce the incidence of subconscious teeth grinding (especially at night).

How does Jawline Reduction / Slimming Botulinum Toxin Work in Singapore?

Masseter muscle Botulinum Toxin works by blocking signals from the nerves to the muscles.

When the signals are blocked, muscle contraction is reduced, helping to relax the muscles and preventing strong muscle contractions at key areas.
