MASSETER TOXIN AFTERCARE

Masseter (Jawline Slimming) Aftercare Guide

By London Aesthetics Clinic

Intro to treatment

Masseter jawline slimming is a non surgical injectable treatment using botulinum toxin to relax the masseter muscles at the sides of the jaw. These muscles are responsible for chewing and, when overactive, can create a wider or more square jawline. By reducing muscle activity, the treatment helps slim and soften the lower face while also relieving symptoms of jaw tension, teeth grinding, and clenching. This treatment has been carried out by By London Aesthetics Clinic.

Aftercare step by step

1. Avoid touching, rubbing, or massaging the treated area for at least 6 hours after treatment.

2. Remain upright for 4 hours following treatment. Avoid lying flat or bending excessively during this time.

3. Avoid strenuous exercise, heavy sweating, saunas, steam rooms, and hot baths for 24 hours.

4. Refrain from consuming alcohol for 24 hours to minimise bruising and swelling.

5. Avoid chewing gum, eating very hard foods, or excessive jaw movement for 24 to 48 hours.

6. Mild swelling, tenderness, or bruising at the injection sites is normal and should settle within a few days.

7. Do not have facial treatments, massages, or aesthetic procedures for at least 2 weeks unless advised otherwise.

8. Avoid sleeping on the sides of the face for the first night where possible.

9. Follow any personalised aftercare advice provided by your practitioner at By London Aesthetics Clinic.
