MASSETER ANTI-WRINKLE FOR FACIAL SLIMMING
Masseter Anti-Wrinkle for Jaw Slimming in Leytonstone
If your lower face looks wider or more square than you’d like, it may be because your jaw muscles are naturally quite strong or prominent. Jaw slimming treatment relaxes the masseter muscles at the sides of the jaw. As these muscles become less active, they gradually reduce in size, creating a softer and more tapered lower-face shape.
Appointments available in Leytonstone, East London.
TREATMENT COST

SESSIONS NEEDED
Usually one session, with progress reviewed after several weeks.
RESULTS
Visible slimming develops gradually over 2 weeks.
What is Jaw Slimming?
Jaw slimming treatment targets the masseter muscles, which are the strong chewing muscles found towards the back of the lower jaw. You can usually feel them become firmer if you place your fingers at the sides of your face and bite down.
Some people naturally have larger masseter muscles, while others develop them through frequent clenching or grinding. When these muscles are prominent, they can make the lower face appear wider or more square.
By carefully relaxing the masseters, we can reduce how strongly they contract. Over the following weeks, the muscles may gradually become less bulky, helping the lower face look softer and more tapered.
This treatment works on muscle size. It doesn’t remove facial fat, tighten loose skin or change the shape of your jawbone, so we’ll first check whether prominent masseters are actually causing the width you would like to reduce.
What can our Jaw Slimming treatment help with?
This treatment may be suitable if prominent masseter muscles are contributing to the shape or width of your lower face. It can help with: • A lower face that appears wide or square • Prominent or bulky jaw muscles • Greater width towards the back of the jaw • Slight differences in muscle size on each side • Creating a softer lower-face shape • Developing a more tapered facial profile • Balancing the proportions of the jaw and chin Jaw slimming won’t suit every facial shape. If the width is caused by your natural bone structure, facial fat or skin laxity, relaxing the masseter muscles may not create the change you’re looking for. We’ll assess your face properly and explain what is realistically achievable.
What to expect from your Jaw Slimming appointment
Your appointment will always start with a consultation so we can chat through your concerns, take a look at the treatment area and understand what you’d like to achieve. We will take time to understand what has been bothering you, explain what this treatment can realistically do for you, and answer any questions you have.
Everything is tailored 100% to you, and your unique goals. If you decide to go ahead, we'll apply a numbing cream, if appropriate, and begin the treatment. We won't start until you're 100% happy. At the end of the appointment you’ll also be given clear aftercare advice so you know exactly what to do afterwards and how to get the best from your results.

Jaw Slimming Treatment FAQs
How does jaw slimming treatment make the face look slimmer?
The treatment relaxes the masseter muscles at the sides of the jaw. As the muscles are used less strongly, they may gradually reduce in size, which can decrease some of the width through the lower face.
It works best when prominent muscles are responsible for the square or wide appearance. It won’t make a significant difference if the width mainly comes from bone structure or facial fat.
How long does jaw slimming take to work?
You may notice the muscles beginning to feel less active within the first couple of weeks. However, the visible slimming effect takes longer because the muscles need time to reduce in size.
Most clients need to allow approximately four to eight weeks before assessing the change properly. The result may continue developing beyond this point.
How long do jaw slimming results last?
Results often last approximately four to six months, although everyone responds differently. The size and strength of your masseter muscles, your metabolism and how frequently you clench or use the muscles can all affect this.
The jaw muscles will gradually become more active again rather than returning to their previous size overnight.
Will jaw slimming affect my chewing?
The aim is to reduce excessive masseter activity without preventing you from chewing normally. Some people may temporarily notice that their jaw feels tired when chewing particularly tough or chewy foods.
We’ll assess your muscle strength carefully and explain all the possible side effects before you decide whether to proceed.
What is the difference between jaw slimming and jawline filler?
Jaw slimming reduces some of the bulk created by prominent masseter muscles, helping the lower face appear softer or narrower.
Jawline filler does the opposite in some respects: it adds structure and definition along the jaw. One treatment reduces muscle width, while the other enhances the shape of the jawline. We’ll help you decide which approach better suits your facial proportions and desired result.
