Facial Slimming Botox, London
Soften your jawline and create a more oval contour with facial slimming injections.

At our beautiful clinic on Manchester Square in Marylebone, Lucy works to enhance your natural beauty and reduce the appearance of a prominent jawline with facial slimming injections. Lucy's easy-does-it approach to Botox and her gentle hand help to slim down your face and leave you with a more delicate, oval-shaped jawline while retaining your natural beauty.

The Masseter Muscle
The masseter muscle is one of the main muscles in our face used for chewing. It is located on the sides of the face, extending from our ears to the angle of the jaw, and helps with jaw movement. In some people, the masseter muscle can overdevelop, leading to a broader or more square-looking jawline.
A square jawline can create the impression of a more masculine-looking face that can feel at odds with the other, more delicate features on a woman's face. Some women may naturally have a larger masseter muscle due to genetics, but sometimes bruxism (teeth grinding) can cause the muscle to enlarge. Bruxism can also be quite painful and lead to discomfort, tension, and even damaged teeth in the long run.
Lucy uses Botox injections to target the masseter muscle, effectively reducing its size to create a more refined and oval-looking jawline that helps create a more feminine contour.
What Is Botox, and How Does It Slim the Face?
Botox is a purified protein that is used in medical and aesthetic treatments. At our Marylebone clinic, Lucy uses Botox to block signals from nerves to muscles, causing the injected muscles to relax. When treating lines and wrinkles, Botox relaxes the muscles to prevent the movements that cause dynamic wrinkles and fine lines. However, Botox can also be used to sculpt and reshape areas of the face.
Facial slimming Botox works by relaxing the masseter muscle and helping to reduce how bulky the muscle is (over time and with continued treatments.) The result is a softer, slimmer appearance to the face that emphasises your natural beauty. Botox facial slimming results can last up to 6 months, giving you lasting results and an effective alternative to more invasive facial contouring.
Who can Benefit from Facial Slimming Botox?
Lucy always tailors treatments to the unique needs and goals of her patients, always ensuring that a balance is achieved. This approach to facial slimming Botox can be particularly beneficial for women looking to feminise their jawlines and contour their face without surgery. It is also a highly effective treatment for those affected by teeth grinding (bruxism) which causes jaw tension and may result in chipped teeth.
Why Consider Face Slimming Botox, London
There are many reasons why women come to visit Lucy's Marylebone clinic for facial slimming injections, from wanting to refine and feminize their jawlines to improving the function of their jaws.

Aesthetically, face slimming Botox can help women reduce the prominence of a square jaw and soften and balance out their facial proportions to achieve a more oval or heart-shaped face.
-
Functionally, Botox injections in the masseter muscle help relieve the pain and tension caused by bruxism/teeth grinding and prevent further damage being done. The overall effect of Botox is the comfort and relief of reducing tension in the jaw.

Botox Slimming with Lucy Banks
Consultation
Lucy begins with a comprehensive consultation where she takes the time to talk to you about what you love about your face, what you would like to improve, and your overall beauty goals.
Assessment
Lucy will then assess your facial structure, focusing on the masseter muscle for facial slimming treatments. She will be looking to see how active and how strong or developed the muscle is and pinpoint the areas where the injections will go.
Treatment
On the day of your treatment, Lucy will begin by gently cleansing and sterilising the treatment area. She will then carry out a series of micro-injections into the masseter muscle using a fine needle. The procedure is quick, and Lucy is always careful to ensure your comfort throughout.
Aftercare
Lucy will provide you with some specific aftercare instructions for you to follow to ensure you achieve the results you are hoping for. These may include avoiding facial treatments and massages for two weeks or so to ensure the Botox stays where it is needed.
Results
You will begin to see some initial improvements within two weeks following treatment. Final results will become apparent after 6 weeks. Lucy will also discuss when to arrange a follow-up appointment to assess the results with you and to make any adjustments if needed.
