Botox Facial Slimming
Botox injections into the masseter (jaw) muscles for a slimmer, V-shaped jawline. Non-surgical, 10-20 minutes, no downtime, and it also relieves teeth grinding.
What is Botox Facial Slimming?
Facial slimming with Botox targets the masseter muscles (the muscles used for chewing) to create a slimmer, more contoured jawline. At Luxskin it is performed by Dr Dinelka, takes 10-20 minutes with no downtime, and results last 3-6 months.
The masseters power your chewing, and overuse (especially from teeth grinding) can enlarge them over time, giving the jaw a broader, squarer look. Botox relaxes these muscles so they gradually reduce in size, revealing a more tapered, balanced facial shape.
The result is subtle contouring that enhances your natural features rather than changing them. It is an increasingly popular option for anyone who wants a sculpted jawline or a softer V-shaped face without invasive surgery.
There is a functional benefit too: by relaxing the masseters, the treatment relieves bruxism (teeth grinding), which is often the reason the jaw enlarged in the first place.

Results & Review

When will you see results?
Masseter slimming is gradual, the muscle reduces as it relaxes. Here is the typical journey.
Day 0
Injections take 10-20 minutes. Mild redness or pinpoint marks may appear and settle within the hour.
Week 1-2
The muscles begin to relax. Teeth grinding eases first, and early slimming becomes noticeable.
Week 4-6
Full results: a visibly slimmer, more tapered jawline as the muscle reduces in size.
Month 3-6
The effect gradually wears off. A top-up maintains the contour, and with regular sessions many patients need less product over time.
