FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

JAWLINE SLIMMING TREATMENT

For many women, a square jaw resulting from prominent masseter muscle development is not typically seen as a desirable feature. This characteristic is particularly prevalent among individuals of Asian descent and may be attributed to genetic factors or conditions like bruxism, which involves involuntary teeth grinding, often occurring during sleep.

To address this concern, the most sought-after solution is a non-surgical treatment option. This procedure involves the targeted injection of specific products into the masseter muscles, leading to a gradual reduction in muscle bulk. As the muscle thins, the square appearance of the jawline diminishes, resulting in a softer, more refined lower face shape. This approach not only enhances facial aesthetics but also offers a relatively quick recovery time, allowing individuals to enjoy their new look with minimal disruption to their daily routines.

WHAT DOES THE TREATMENT INVOLVE?

Typically, the treatment requires a minimum of 25 units of the product to be administered on each side of the jaw. Patients generally experience minimal downtime, with only slight bruising and swelling being common side effects. However, some discomfort may arise when chewing harder foods, such as steak, and this sensation can persist for several weeks following the procedure. Most individuals find that the benefits of the treatment far outweigh these temporary inconveniences, allowing them to enjoy a more sculpted jawline without significant interruptions to their daily activities.

WHEN CAN I SEE THE RESULTS?

The effects of the treatment begin to manifest within one week, becoming more prominent after four to six weeks. Results can last for up to six months, and with multiple sessions, patients often experience progressively longer-lasting outcomes. This cumulative effect means that each treatment can enhance the overall results, providing a more refined and contoured appearance over time.

THERAPUTIC BENIFITS OF TREATMENT

Addressing the jaw muscles can be highly beneficial for those who suffer from bruxism, a condition characterized by nighttime teeth grinding. Dentists frequently diagnose this issue, as it can lead to considerable wear on the teeth and often results in discomfort or pain in the jaw joint (TMJ). By targeting the masseter muscles, this treatment can effectively alleviate the symptoms associated with bruxism, reducing both teeth grinding and associated jaw pain.

RETURNING TO NORMAL ACTIVITIES

You should be able to go back to your normal routine fairly quickly after your treatment. However, it’s important to avoid heavy workouts and any form of massaging the area for the first day post-treatment.

POSSIBLE SIDE EFFECTS

All procedures, including non-surgical options, come with certain risks that you should fully understand prior to undergoing treatment. While the majority of patients do not face these complications, it is essential to discuss any concerns with your doctor.

Side effects can manifest either immediately or after some time.

You may experience symptoms such as pain, a burning sensation, stinging, bruising, swelling, or redness at the injection site. Additionally, you might encounter local muscle weakness, which could result in drooping eyelids or eyebrows, skin tightness, itchiness, discomfort in the forehead area, headaches, nausea, or symptoms resembling the flu.

Though very uncommon, some effects of the muscle relaxant may spread beyond the injection site, potentially causing issues like muscle weakness, drooping in surrounding facial muscles, double or blurred vision, difficulties in speaking, constipation, aspiration, or swallowing problems. These symptoms may develop from hours to weeks after the procedure and are more likely to occur in individuals receiving higher dosages or those with existing medical conditions that predispose them to these issues.

POST PROCEDURE CARE

What to Anticipate

After your treatment, it’s typical to encounter several minor side effects, which should gradually diminish over time. Common effects include:

  • Swelling at injection sites
  • Bruising
  • Redness around the treated areas
  • Tenderness
  • A sensation of tightness

You may also experience a mild headache; Paracetamol can be used if necessary to ease discomfort.

Final Outcomes

You can expect to see some effects from your treatment within 2 to 4 days, with the complete results generally manifesting within 14 days. To achieve your desired look, you might need additional treatments.

Post-Treatment Care

If you experience any signs of inflammation or adverse reactions, please contact the clinic immediately at 1300 373 662. Additional treatments, medications, or, in some cases, surgery may be warranted.

If you need urgent assistance outside of regular hours, please go to your nearest medical center or emergency room.

You are encouraged to resume your daily activities immediately, including driving, after the procedure. However, it’s advisable to refrain from vigorous exercise and alcohol for the first 24 hours.

For a minimum of two weeks following your treatment, please avoid:

  • Extended sun exposure and extreme temperatures
  • Touching or massaging the treated area
  • Facials, waxing, chemical peels, IPL, laser treatments, or any other skin procedures
