Facial Slimming
Facial slimming is a non-surgical aesthetic treatment designed to refine the lower face, reduce heaviness, and enhance contour. It is particularly effective for patients with a square or broad jawline caused by enlarged masseter muscles, the powerful chewing muscles at the sides of the jaw.
At Haus of Ästhetik, facial slimming is performed using precise neuromodulator (botulinum toxin) injections to relax these muscles, creating a softer, more balanced silhouette without affecting natural expression or bite function.
Overview
Facial slimming is a non-surgical aesthetic treatment designed to refine the lower face, reduce heaviness, and enhance contour. It is particularly effective for patients with a square or broad jawline caused by enlarged masseter muscles, the powerful chewing muscles at the sides of the jaw.
At Haus of Ästhetik, facial slimming is performed using precise neuromodulator (botulinum toxin) injections to relax these muscles, creating a softer, more balanced silhouette without affecting natural expression or bite function.
Facial slimming is suitable for adults who wish to achieve a more contoured, tapered facial shape or reduce tension from clenching and grinding. It is commonly sought by patients with square or masculine jawlines who desire a softer, more oval profile. Both men and women benefit from this treatment when tailored anatomically to their goals.
Prominent jawline or lower-face width from masseter muscle hypertrophy
Tension, jaw discomfort, or teeth grinding (bruxism)
Asymmetrical jawline due to uneven muscle activity
Lower-face heaviness or square appearance
In some, widened face in photographs despite healthy weight
There is no NICE guideline for masseter-reduction or jaw-slimming via neuromodulators, nor does the BNF provide specific advice for this aesthetic indication.
1. Botulinum Toxin (Masseter Reduction)
Small, controlled doses of toxin are injected into the masseter muscles bilaterally.
Gradually relaxes and reduces muscle thickness over 4–8 weeks.
Facial width decreases as muscle volume reduces, improving contour and symmetry.
Procedure also alleviates symptoms of bruxism and tension headaches.
Fully compliant with MHRA and BNF guidelines for POM use and medical oversight.
2. Teoxane RHA 4 or Ultra Deep (Contour Balancing)
Used to refine jawline, chin, or mid-face proportions after masseter reduction.
Restores skeletal support and improves the transition between lower and mid-face.
Dynamic fillers maintain natural movement and expression.
3. mesoestetic Age Element Firming or Tightening Peels
Improve dermal density and elasticity following toxin treatment.
Support skin tightening and collagen production to complement muscle contouring.
4. Skin Health and Regeneration Support
LED therapy and mesoestetic collagen-boosting serums enhance overall skin tone and resilience.
All injectable treatments are performed by medically qualified practitioners under prescriber supervision, in full alignment with CQC Regulation 12: Safe Care and Treatment, ensuring informed consent, traceability, and safety monitoring.
A consultation determines the cause of facial width, muscular, fatty, or skeletal, before recommending treatment. Masseter reduction is suitable for most adults without neuromuscular disorders or contraindicated medications.
Not appropriate during pregnancy, breastfeeding, or where significant skeletal asymmetry is present. Full medical history and consent are required, with photographic documentation and post-procedure follow-up.
Timeline: noticeable slimming within 3–6 weeks, full results by 8–12 weeks.
Longevity: typically 4–6 months for toxin effects, extending with maintenance.
Benefits: refined facial contour, reduced jaw tension, and balanced proportions.
Results develop gradually and maintain natural movement and expression — no “hollowed” appearance.
Avoid massaging or touching the jaw for 24 hours.
Do not lie flat or exercise for 4 hours post-treatment.
Chew softer foods for the first day and avoid gum chewing for 48 hours.
Effects build progressively; review and refinement can be performed at 8–12 weeks.
Maintain results with treatment every 4–6 months and healthy skincare routine (Teoxane RHA Serum or mesoestetic Firming Concentrate recommended).
