Botox injected into the masseter muscle causes the muscle to reduce in size, and therefore slims the face.
It effectively transforms a rounded or square face shape to a more heart shaped and v-line shape. For this treatment we most commonly advise doing a course of 3, 6 weeks apart.
Thereafter maintenance will be every 6-12 months.
For those travelling abroad we have an alternative course.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Will I still be able to move and make facial expressions?
The results of botox are dependent on the units used. We can therefore make the results very natural and simply soften the expressions, or we can produce more ‘frozen’ results for those who want.
Will my eyebrows change position?
If you only do botox to the forehead there is a small chance that the brows can drop as you “knock out” the only and only muscle that lifts the brows! We therefore advise doing all 3 areas (forehead, frown and crows) to ensure the brows do not move. For those who want their brows lifted we offer a ‘botox brow lift’ treatment.
Will people know?
We aren’t extreme with our use of botox! It is not aesthetic when the results are too extreme. Thus in our experience no one will be able to tell, but they will simple think you look more youthful and refreshed.
Does it hurt?
There are small tiny stings, but overall it is not painful per se.
What is the downtime?
Main things are to not lie down for 6 hours and to avoid hot showers, steam rooms, exercise for 24hours. Immediately after treatment you may get small blebs of localised swelling for up to 30 mins. These will completely disappear.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
How do I know if I am a candidate?
If you feel your face is quite rounded, square or boxy it may be due to having bulky masseters. This can be due to teeth grinding (whether conscious or subconscious), excessive use of chewing gum or genetics. If you feel with your hands above the angle of the mandible, just infront of your ear lobe, and clench your teeth you may feel the muscle contract and feel very solid. If you can feel this then we can use botox to slim it.
Can this help with TMJ disorder or bruxism
Yes, botox can help! Bruxism is the medical term for unconscious teeth clenching and grinding, either while awake or asleep, which can lead to physical painful and severe dental problems including headache, earaches, facial pain, and even migraines. Dental problems from bruxism include lose of tooth enamel, increased tooth sensitivity, and flattening and/or chipping of the teeth. Buxism is often related to TMJ disorder (a condition that involves pain and improper functioning of the muscles and joints that attach the lower jaw to the skull).
How long until I see results?
This varies amongst individuals but generally you should start seeing results after week 4-6. Some however may notice more after their second course.
Will people notice?
The results will be very natural and gradual. You may not even truly notice them until you see pictures before and after! Most people will simply think you have lost weight or look better, but not know how or why.
I’m from abroad/travelling and cannot come back every 6 weeks.
We offer an alternate treatment course whereby we safely use double the units at double the course. You should therefore only really require one session, but can come back to us at month 3-6 for more.
