For many people, the masseter muscle, or chewing muscle, is too pronounced, which can make the face appear wider and more irregular, leading to a tense facial expression. During facial slimming, Botox is used to treat the strong masseter muscles. Botox reduces muscle strength, causing the treated muscle to recede slightly over time, resulting in a narrower facial shape. Despite the injection, the actual chewing function of the jaw is fully retained.
During the specialist consultation, we discuss the reasons for your interest in the treatment and evaluate whether other treatment options may be more suitable.
The injection procedure itself takes no longer than half an hour and is generally painless. Only the insertion of the injection needle may be briefly felt. We offer an optional local anaesthetic with an ointment for added comfort.
Immediately after the treatment, you can resume your daily activities. However, it may be advisable to rest the jaw muscles for a few hours. If any allergic reactions occur, we will provide full support during the treatment process.
Facial slimming is a suitable option if your face appears too wide due to pronounced jaw muscles. However, this is not always the reason for irregularities in this area of the face. In some cases, injecting the jawline with hyaluronic acid may be a better option to create a more even appearance.
The risks associated with Botox treatment of the masseter muscle are minimal. Some patients may experience slight redness at the injection site. In rare cases, allergic reactions may occur.

Facial slimming involves injecting Botox into the overly pronounced masseter muscle. As a result, the muscle becomes less active and recedes, making the jawline more attractive and even.
In our practice, we offer the treatment starting from €250*. The final cost depends on the amount of Botox required and may vary slightly from case to case. We will provide you with a customized quote during your consultation.
The effect of Botox injections typically sets in after one to two weeks. The effect generally lasts around six months, after which the muscles gradually become more active again.
