How Do Volume Enhancement Treatments Transform a Jawline?
Facial slimming is a treatment offered at Cityskin in Melbourne. Our skilled practitioners can provide new patients with a free 30-minute consultation in order to provide them with specific and comprehensive information about facial slimming.
How Can Jaw Muscles Affect Facial Shape?
The masseter muscle is primarily responsible for biting and grinding. It is a strong muscle compared to the frown muscles or forehead. When this muscle is particularly strong or enlarged, it can add width to the lower face and contribute to a broader or more square-looking jawline.
Non-surgical treatments for fine lines may also be used on the masseter muscle to reduce repeated contraction. Over time, this can decrease muscle activity and gradually reduce its prominence, creating a slimmer appearance through the lower face. Keep in mind that visible results are not immediate and may continue to develop over several weeks.
Who May Consider a Jaw Shape Consultation in Melbourne?
You may consider a jaw shape consultation if you have prominent jaw muscles, clench your jaw frequently or notice extra width through the lower face.
Muscles and Areas That May Be Assessed
Masseter Muscles
The primary muscle we target is the masseter, which is located close to other facial muscles, such as the risorius muscle. This makes careful treatment planning and precise placement essential to avoid affecting your smile.
Temple Muscles
In addition to the jawline, patients who experience teeth clenching or have a strong masseter muscle may also develop a prominent temple muscle. Treating this area may help alleviate clenching while softening the appearance of forehead lines.
What Happens During a Face Contouring Consultation in Melbourne?
Your practitioner may assess your facial shape and symmetry, jaw movement and muscle strength. They will also review your medical history and previous treatments before discussing suitable lower-face contouring options, along with the expected outcomes, limitations and potential risks.
What to Expect Before, During and After Treatment
Before Treatment
Every cosmetic treatment begins with an in-depth face shape consultation in Melbourne to assess your suitability and create a bespoke plan based on your needs and goals.
During Treatment
Treatment is generally painless, though you may feel a brief sting at the target areas. Rest assured, your practitioner will take steps to keep you comfortable throughout.
After Treatment
Temporary redness, tenderness, swelling or bruising may occur around the treatment area. Most people can resume their regular routine soon after their session.
Results and Follow-Up
Results develop gradually over several weeks. They vary between clients and may last up to six months. Follow-up sessions can be discussed with your practitioner when appropriate.
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.
At Cityskin, we have performed countless facial slimming and jawline slimming treatments throughout the years. Our extensive experience and expertise ensure that you can have complete confidence in the safety and effectiveness of our procedures.

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.
