HOW does botox in the jawline WORK

Due to genetics or habits such as jaw-clenching or teeth-grinding, the masseter muscles (chewing muscles) become stronger and larger making the face appear bulky and more rectangular giving the face a less feminine appearance. By injecting Botox into the enlarged jawline muscles these muscles shrink and become weaker creating a slimmer and more feminine jawline.

During the procedure, treatment areas will be cleaned and disinfected. This treatment is administered with fine needles and will be injected in multiple sites into the masseter muscles. The injections will feel like mild pin pricks, however, most people find this procedure to be pain-free and easy. Treatment will take about 15 minutes.
