Facial slimming with botox is based on applying botulinum toxin to the chewing muscle called masseter. In this application, also known as clenching botox, the activity of the muscle is temporarily limited; The aim is to reduce muscle volume over time and thus thin the lower facial line. The same application is also used to relieve complaints related to teeth clenching and grinding (bruxism).
The procedure is performed with thin needles and takes approximately 10-15 minutes; Most of the time, daily life is returned immediately. The effect usually settles within a few weeks, while the thinning of the facial line becomes apparent within a few months as muscle volume decreases. In order to maintain the effect, the application may need to be repeated at intervals recommended by the physician.
The application is evaluated in people with a prominent masseter muscle and a square-looking lower face; Dosage and application plan are determined individually after a physician's examination.
