Facial sculpting or contouring is a technique that gives the patient an oval- or V-shape face that is slimmer in profile. This procedure using Botox can be medical , cosmetic, or a combination. Essentially BOTOX reduces the bulk of a muscle called the masseter, and this can slim facial features, reduce teeth grinding, TMJ or joint clicking, and also treat headaches. This technique is a common and popular facial slimming treatment amongst my Asian patients, the slimming of the facial features gives the individual a more youthful look, balancing proportions that give the most natural and beautiful highlight- namely exaggerating high cheekbones, with sides that taper to a soft chin.
HOW DOES COSMETIC FACIAL SLIMMING WORK?
Botulinum Toxin acts as a relaxant for jaw muscles, inducing relaxation and also thins the chewing muscles called the massesters in the sides of the jaw. The injected Botox will block the nerve impulses of the muscles in the selected area, diminishing the fine lines and wrinkles while ensuring your cheekbones look full and face is lifted. It also helps to refresh your overall appearance, giving you a more youthful-looking face that shaves years off your actual age. Botox treatment is also suitable for individuals who are afraid of or do not want to opt for surgical methods. It consists of a few simple injections to the selected areas, with numbing cream applied prior to treatment in order to reduce any discomfort or pain. The smallest and finest needles are used to inject Botox, the procedure takes 10 minutes to perform is virtually painless. As the treatment only affects injected facial muscles, other muscles continue functioning as normal and your facial expressions will be unaffected.
How to I treat bruxism or jaw clentching – teeth grinding?
Bruxism is a condition characterised by teeth grinding and excessive clenching of the jaw. It usually occurs at night during sleep, and can have consequences such as the blunting of teeth, headaches, and TMJ temporomandibular joint problems. All this can lead to an increase in the size of the masseter muscles, resulting in a broad face and a square jaw- a feature that may not be always be desired, especially in females. Furthermore, slimming the jawline can help to convert a square shaped face into an ‘upside down triangle’ shape, and this is usually a more youthful facial shape. By using Botox, I can reduce the activity of the masseter muscles, in turn reducing the squareness of the jaw. This can slim the face in just one to two procedures. Certain cultures are more prone towards large masseters, including Asias- or at least this culture has a higher demand for facial slimming. Botox of facial slimming has no downtime, and starts to work within 10 days, and lasts for about 4 to 6 months. Usually 20-50 units of Botox injections are required in this area per side. I bring my patients for a top up to correct any asymmetry at week 4-6, as inevitable one masseter is stronger than the other.
HOW OFTEN WILL I NEED MAINTENANCE?
The effects of Botox on your face can last up to 6 months after the initial treatment, but more sessions are required in order to maintain your youthful appearance. Once a few treatments have been completed, future sessions may only be needed once in 6 months as the effects will begin to last longer.
