Facial / Jawline Slimming
How Do Volume Enhancement Treatments Transform a Jawline?
Facial slimming is a highly sought-after procedure at Cityskin in Melbourne, with over a thousand patients benefiting from it each year. Our skilled practitioners can provide new patients with a free 30 minute consultation in order to provide you with specific and comprehensive information about facial slimming.
How does facial slimming work?
The masseter muscle is primarily responsible for biting and grinding. It is a strong muscle compared to the frown muscles or forehead. Wrinkle management treatments administered into the masseter muscle reduce its strength and size, leading to a slimming effect.
Typically, we provide wrinkle management treatments into the masseter muscle. The mechanism of action can be likened to putting an arm or leg in a plaster cast after a fracture. By preventing the muscle from contracting over time, we weaken it and reduce its size.
Facial slimming treatment tends to last longer compared to other areas of the face, such as the forehead or frown lines. This is possible because we can safely provide more wrinkle management treatments without the risk of over-treatment.
Treating the temple muscle
In addition to the jawline, patients who experience teeth clenching or have a strong masseter muscle may also develop a prominent temple muscle. By placing wrinkle management treatments in the temple area, a softening effect is generated. This helps reduce forehead lines and alleviate clenching.
How to safely treat the masseter muscle to avoid affecting your smile
In the context of facial slimming and jawline slimming treatments, the primary muscle we target is the masseter, which is responsible for biting and jaw movement. At Cityskin, our expert practitioners use wrinkle management treatments to effectively address concerns such as tooth grinding and achieve facial slimming. It is crucial to avoid treating the risorius muscle, which pulls the smile out to the side. To achieve this, we employ a meticulous technique, which can be discussed in detail with a Cityskin clinician at a consultation.
FAQs
Facial slimming typically lasts up to 6 months when the appropriate treatment approach is used. We encourage you to schedule a consultation at Cityskin to learn about the treatment, and our treatment approach. We also recommend scheduling a repeat treatment once you notice the bite muscle contracting strongly again.
Facial slimming treatments require up to 4 weeks to take effect as it takes time for the muscle to relax and reduce in size. The maximum effect can be observed approximately 8 weeks after the treatment.
Facial slimming is among the least painful solutions we offer at our clinic. Most patients describe it as a small sting during the treatment itself.
Yes, jawline contouring can be achieved by using wrinkle management treatments into the bite muscle. Patients under 40 often experience a more angular and contoured jawline, which is more noticeable in three-dimensional views. Masseter muscle treatment effects may still be visible up to 9 months after treatment.
No, this is an urban myth. The wrinkle management treatment is not a permanent solution, and the strength of the muscle gradually returns over time. While the muscle may be weaker than before treatment, it will eventually regain full strength.

Facial slimming is most effective for patients with strong bite muscles and a jawline that is not obscured by heavy lower cheeks. We assess each case individually, so we encourage you to book a consultation with our experienced medical practitioners for personalised advice about facial slimming.
Yes, there are other muscles involved in biting and grinding food. The temporalis muscle, located on the side of the head, assists in the grinding process. While it may require more effort to chew certain foods after jaw slimming, your ability to eat will not be compromised.
Before treatment, when you clench your teeth, the bite muscle feels firm. Approximately 2-3 weeks after treatment, the muscle will feel soft, similar to a kitchen sponge. This indicates that the muscle has been relaxed and the treatment is taking effect.
Yes, you can receive facial slimming and volume enhancement treatments simultaneously at your appointment.
You do not need to wait for the muscle contraction to fully return to its original state before seeking further treatment. As long as there is a minimal amount of muscle contraction, it can be addressed. Regular treatments can help maintain results, and in some cases, a more conservative treatment approach may be required if the muscle has already been significantly weakened.
