Face slimming with botulinum toxin – Softer contours, clearer lines
Facial slimming with botulinum toxin
A narrow, softly contoured face is often associated with youth, elegance, and balance. However, not every facial contour aligns with one's personal aesthetic sensibilities. Some people develop a more pronounced jawline over time, for example, due to genetic predisposition or strong chewing muscles. If the desire for a more refined, harmonious facial shape grows, but surgery is not an option, treatment with botulinum toxin can offer a gentle, non-surgical alternative. At the private practice Schoenheits-Hand-Werk in Wallerfangen Dr. med. Gunther Oldag will be happy to provide you with a personalized consultation – for a balanced, natural-looking facial expression.
What is meant by face slimming with botulinum toxin?
Face slimming describes an aesthetic method for visually narrowing the lower face, particularly the jawline. The goal is to achieve a softer, V-shaped facial profile. This is accomplished by treating the masseter muscle with botulinum toxin – the large chewing muscle located on both sides of the jawbone. If this muscle is very pronounced, it can make the face appear wider and more angular.
By injecting botulinum toxin into the masseter muscle, its activity can be reduced. As a result, the muscle volume decreases over several weeks, and the face appears slimmer, more finely contoured, and more harmonious. This treatment is particularly popular with individuals who desire a gentle, non-invasive facial reshaping without downtime or surgery. Men can also benefit from this method if they wish to subtly define their jawline without sacrificing their masculine appearance.
How does botulinum toxin work for face slimming?
Botulinum toxin is one of the best-researched active ingredients in aesthetic medicine. It works by inhibiting the release of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine at the neuromuscular junction, where the impulse is transmitted from the nerve to the muscle. This leads to targeted relaxation of the treated muscle.
As a result of facial slimming with botulinum toxin, the masseter muscle is less stressed, which can lead to a reduction in muscle mass over several weeks. This effect is not immediate: Initial results are usually visible after about four days, with the full effect appearing after about four weeks. The effect typically lasts for approximately four months. Depending on the desired outcome, the treatment can then be repeated to maintain or further enhance the effect.
What makes the treatment special?
Face slimming with botulinum toxin is a minimally invasive, precisely controllable method for gently reshaping the face. The dosage is individually tailored and can be further adjusted at follow-up appointments if desired. This ensures that natural facial expressions are fully preserved.
This method is particularly popular with people who desire a finer, so-called V-shaped contour. It offers the following possibilities:
- No surgery, no anesthesia, no downtime
- Natural result through targeted muscle relaxation instead of filling or volume increase
- Precisely dosable, reversible if desired
- Slower, easily controllable effect for particularly natural results
Because true aesthetics doesn't need a new face – but rather a keen eye for balance, proportion and personality.
Face slimming with botulinum toxin
For whom might the treatment be suitable?
This treatment may be an option for people with:
- Visibly strong, angular lower face,
- Strong development of the masseter muscle,
- Desire for a gently sculpted, V-shaped facial contour.
Treatment of the masseter muscle with botulinum toxin is not suitable in the following cases:
- very thin or sagging facial skin, as the loss of volume can lead to a visible excess of skin,
- existing pregnancy or certain pre-existing neurological conditions,
- known intolerance to botulinum toxin.
In a personal consultation, we will clarify whether the method can be a possible option for your individual wishes and anatomical conditions.
Treatment process at the private practice Schoenheits-Hand-Werk
Before the treatment, you will have a detailed consultation with Dr. med. Gunther Oldag. During this consultation, your facial anatomy will be analyzed, your wishes will be noted, and an individual treatment plan will be created – including dosage, intervals, and a realistic prognosis.
The injection is administered with very fine needles and only takes a few minutes. Usually, two to three injection points per side are sufficient. Local anesthesia is generally not necessary. You can resume your normal activities immediately after the treatment.
For 48 hours, however, saunas, tanning beds, sports, or intense heat should be avoided to ensure the effectiveness of the treatment. Any redness or small bruises that may appear after the injections usually disappear quickly.
