Facial slimming is a non-surgical, minimally invasive cosmetic procedure that utilizes injections to reduce the appearance of a square or heavy jawline, often caused by the overactivity of the masseter muscle. This procedure aims to create a more defined and contoured jawline, giving the face a more balanced and aesthetically pleasing appearance.
The procedure involves injecting a solution into the masseter muscle, which temporarily weakens the muscle and reduces its size. As a result, the jawline appears slimmer and more defined. The effects of facial slimming can be seen within a few weeks, with optimal results typically seen after 2-3 sessions.
At Skin Club Cosmetic Doctors, located in Sydney, our team of experienced medical professionals will evaluate your individual case to determine if facial slimming is the right option for you. They will also discuss the potential risks and side effects associated with the procedure and provide you with detailed instructions on how to prepare for your treatment.
It is important to note that facial slimming is not a permanent solution and may require maintenance sessions in the future to maintain the desired results. It is also not suitable for everyone and a consultation with our medical professional is necessary to determine if this treatment is right for you.
If you are looking for a non-surgical solution to target a square or heavy jawline, facial slimming may be an option for you. Contact Skin Club Cosmetic Doctors in Sydney to schedule a consultation with one of our medical professionals to learn more about this treatment option.

All you need to know about Facial slimming
Facial slimming is a cosmetic procedure that helps to reduce the appearance of fat and loose skin on the face. It can be done through a variety of methods, including injections, lasers, and surgery. Skin Club Cosmetic Doctors offer safe options and high quality facial slimming treatment that will suit patients perfectly.
The facial slimming treatment takes place under an intoxication and with local anaesthetic or numbing cream. This means that you will feel sleepy and relaxed during the procedure so the procedure becomes pain relief for you.
Most patients do not bother with numbing cream because it takes so long to work and because the treatment isn’t very painful anyway.
Anti wrinkle injections or anti wrinkle products will be injected into the masseter muscles on both sides of the face and distributed to multiple locations within the masseter muscles, resulting in jawline slimming. The amount of anti wrinkle product used varies, but generally requires a much higher dose compared to the anti wrinkle skin treatment. Repeated treatment after 4-8 weeks is often required to ensure best results on follow-up visits after 6 months.
These side effects or risks include:
Jaw pain
Headaches
Redness
TMJ injury
Jaw, face
ear pain
Jaw obstruction
Masseter injections for jawline slimming is probably the least painful treatment we perform at our clinic. We offer many options for pain relief eg ice, topical numbing cream, happy gas (nitrous oxide) and penthrox. However, with masseter treatment, all patients just choose to have ice because it is so easy and quick and involves minimal discomfort
Bruising is one of the most common side effects of facial slimming treatment. However, our experienced cosmetic doctors will take every precaution to minimise bruising. We will also provide you with aftercare instructions to help the healing process.
Is there any downtime with masseter slimming? One of the important advantages is that there is quick recovery with masseter slimming! You can go about your day as usual immediately after your treatment.
Facial slimming is suitable for patients of any age. However, it is important to note that the results of the treatment may vary depending on the age of the patient.
If you’re happy with your current jawline, then you don’t need to continue with any further treatments. However, if you’re not satisfied with your jawline and would like to slim it down further, then the skin club offers safe and high quality facial slimming treatments that will suit patients perfectly.
The product that is used for facial slimming is called Anti Wrinkle Injections. Anti Wrinkle Injections is a safe and effective way to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines. It is also an excellent way to slim down the face and achieve a more youthful appearance.
The effects of face slimming vary from person to person, but typically last for several months. Many patients find that they need to touch up their treatment every few months to maintain their desired results.
The schedule for maintenance is every four to six weeks.
There are a few things to do before you have your facial slimming injections. First, consult with your doctor to see if this treatment is right for you.
Second, avoid taking blood thinners or other medications that may increase bleeding or bruising.
Third, avoid alcohol and smoking for at least 24 hours before your treatment. Fourth, clean your face and remove all makeup.
Fifth, arrive at your appointment on time.
First, the doctor will numb the area to be treated with a local anaesthetic.
Next, they will make small injections of a dermal filler into strategic locations on your face. The dermal filler will work to break down the fat cells in the treated area.
Lastly, the doctor will massage the treated area to help distribute the filler evenly. The entire procedure takes about 30 minutes to an hour to complete.
The initial consultation at Skin Club Cosmetic Doctors is complementary. During the consultation, your skin and suitability for the treatment will be assessed and you can ask anything. You will receive an individual price quote for your procedure. The price depends on the extent of extra fat and tissues that are removed from the arm.
After receiving the facial slimming treatment, it is important to follow the post treatment instructions given by the doctor. These instructions may include avoiding hot showers, using a gentle cleanser, and applying a moisturiser. It is also important to avoid sun exposure and to wear sunscreen when outdoors.
The recovery time of this treatment is very short. Most patients only need a few days to recover and see the full effects of the treatment.
The best candidates for face slimming are people who have excess fat in their face that they would like to get rid (results may vary for every person and its not guarenteed) of. This can be due to genetics, weight gain, or simply the aging process. Face slimming can help to create a better appearance.
At Skin Club Cosmetic Doctors, we only use the latest and most effective treatments that are backed by science. So, yes – facial slimming treatments at our clinic do work! We have a range of treatments that can target different areas of the face, and our experienced doctors will tailor a treatment plan to suit your individual needs.

After every procedure, our cosmetic doctors will provide you with specific instructions and guidelines for post-treatment care. Aftercare is crucial to the health and safety of each patient as well as determining ethical outcome of your results.
