Masseter /Jawline Slimming
Masseter reduction or jawline slimming for cosmetic purposes is a simple and effective procedure which is why it is so popular.
This procedure involves the injection of Wrinkle Relaxer into the large masseter muscles to create a slim and more feminine jawline. The simple procedure of injecting wrinkle relaxers into these bulky muscles is extremely effective in relaxing (not paralysing) the muscle resulting in a softer and smaller appearance of the masseters and eventual atrophy (or shinkage) over time. The treatment can transform your face completely; many people go from having a square and masculine jaw to a narrow and oval face in a matter of weeks.
