Facial Slimming with Botox

More and more people are looking for non-surgical ways to refine their appearance. One highly effective option is facial slimming with Botox. This quick, low-downtime procedure offers a softer, more contoured look—without invasive surgery or long recovery times. For many clients in Lancaster, PA, it’s become a go-to for achieving a more balanced facial shape. 

The key? Strategically placed Botox injections that relax specific muscles to narrow the jawline and create definition. Here’s what you need to know if you’re considering facial slimming treatments.

Botox can slim the face by targeting the masseter muscles—the strong muscles at the back of your jaw. If these muscles are overdeveloped due to teeth grinding, frequent clenching, or genetics the face can appear square or wide. 

• Botox is injected directly into the masseters. 
• The injection treatment takes around 10-15 minutes. 
• Minimal discomfort and no downtime. 
• Visible slimming occurs gradually over 4–6 weeks. 

Once the Botox relaxes the masseter muscles, the jawline appears softer and more tapered, especially when viewed from the front. 

Facial slimming treatments work best for individuals with: 

• A square or overly prominent jawline 
• Signs of facial asymmetry 
• Bruxism (teeth grinding) 
• A desire to contour the face without surgery 

During your consultation, our provider will assess your facial structure and determine whether Botox for jawline contouring is the right choice for you.

There are many reasons people choose Botox over surgical options: 

• Quick and convenient: Entire appointment done in under 30 minutes. 
• Natural-looking results: Facial movement remains normal. 
• No scars or incisions: Completely non-invasive. 
• Customizable: Dosage and placement tailored to your face. 
• Reversible and temporary: Results last 3–4 months. 

For some clients, Botox works best when paired with other non-surgical options like dermal fillers. This holistic approach allows for: 

• Better facial symmetry 
• Defined cheekbones 
• Balanced lower face and chin 

Your provider can design a custom plan based on your unique features and aesthetic goals.

Results typically last between 3 to 4 months, depending on your body’s response. With regular treatments, muscle activity stays reduced, leading to longer-lasting effects. 

Want to make the most of your facial slimming results? Here are a few expert tips: 

• Stay consistent with maintenance appointments every 3–4 months. 
• Limit habits that activate the masseter, such as chewing gum excessively. 
• Follow a skincare routine that includes hydration and SPF to support overall facial health. 
• Consult with your injector regularly to track progress and make adjustments if needed. 

Facial slimming with Botox improves over time—so staying on track is key to keeping your jawline refined and elegant. 

The cost of facial slimming treatments can vary depending on the number of units used and the provider’s expertise. Most clients require between 20 to 40 units of Botox per side of the jaw. Prices may also vary slightly based on location and how your body responds to the injections. 

Many clients find that facial slimming is a cost-effective alternative to surgery with excellent results and minimal downtime.

• Avoid alcohol and blood thinners before your treatment. 
• Plan for minimal side effects, like slight swelling or tenderness. 
• No need to miss work—return to daily life immediately.
