As one of the most popular non-surgical cosmetic procedures in the world, Anti-Wrinkle injections are now being used for a whole host of things, some of which you might not even realise. Traditionally used to smooth out fine lines and wrinkles, you can also now use Anti-Wrinkle injections for sculpting & slimming the face & neck.

​

HAVE YOU EVER WANTED TO 'TWEAK' THE SHAPE OF YOUR FACE?

Many men and women look in the mirror and see slight imperfections that they would like to change. The key is that these trouble areas are often quite small. Therefore, traditional cosmetic procedures that are invasive, such a chin augmentation or Jaw Definition, aren’t always actually warranted. The good news is, there is an alternative option: Anti-Wrinkle Injections (Botox)

​

HOW CAN ANTI-WRINKLE INJECTIONS CHANGE YOUR FACE SHAPE?

While Anti-Wrinkle injections are generally marketed as a treatment that smooths fine lines & softens wrinkles, it’s actually useful at fixing many other challenges as well. One key use, which has become increasingly popular in recent years, is the ability to change someone’s face. When administered correctly Anti-Wrinkle Injections cam make dramatic changes to your jawline, mouth and overall face shape.

 

RESHAPING YOUR FACE WITH ANTI-WRINKLE INJECTIONS

Everyone has a unique face shape. You’ve probably seen charts of the “classic” face shapes: heart, diamond, round, oval, square, long, and pear.

​

All of these face shapes can look attractive on different people. But it’s also not uncommon to have facial features that go best with one particular shape. If this is the case for you, and you’d like to make slight alterations, Anti-Wrinkle Injections may be the answer. Here are just a few of the things it can do to change the shape, features, and definition of your face — without surgery.

 

1. SLIM YOUR FACE

If you have a round or square face shape & would like a slimmer shape A 'Jawline Slimming' treatment can help you achieve this & give your a more pleasing oval-shaped face.

​

Jawline Slimming Treatment

Jawline slimming – This  is a simple yet effective procedure that involves injecting into the large Masseter muscles which softens the jawline for a more feminine look, creating a slimmer silhouette of the face. It can also help reduce teeth grinding. This treatment will compliment & enhance the look of Jaw Fillers too.

​

The masseter muscles are the muscles that are attached at the angle of your jaw and control all the movements related to chewing food. For some people, strong jaw muscles are part of their normal anatomy. However, for others a square jaw line is the result of a condition called bruxism, which causes excessive teeth grinding or clenching.

​

With overuse from habitual teeth grinding, the Masseter muscles become over developed and more pronounced, causing the shape of the lower face to alter and acquire that strong ‘square-jawed’ look (along with other painful and potentially more serious symptoms). You will see a dramatic change in the contours of your face following this treatment.

​

2. ALTER YOUR JAWLINE

Can Anti-Wrinkle Injections improve the jawline? Yes, Just as Anti-Wrinkle Injections can slim your face, often by reducing the size and tension in the masseter muscles, it can also change the exact shape and exaggerate jawline by adding more firmness to an undefined jaw or by fixing asymmetries in the jaw. In fact, this is a common procedure for men. A traditionally attractive feature in males is a strong, firm, and square-shaped jawline. However, not all men are endowed with this face shape. A few strategically placed injections can change that for men who lack jaw definition. Anti-Wrinkle Injections can also be used to firm up or change the shape of the chin.

​

3. SLIM YOUR NECK

There is now another new treatment using Anti-Wrinkle Injections which is taking Hollywood by storm. It’s called the Nefertiti Neck Lift. 

 

Nefertiti Neck Lift

This procedure helps to reduce sagging skin, smoothes the lines of the neck & anterior bands, therefore creating smoothening & lifting of the neck. Anti-Wrinkle Injections are injected into the platysma band of muscles that run vertically from the bottom of your face to your collarbone which will:

​

• Define the jaw line

• Smoothes lines & wrinkles on the neck

• Slim the neck

• Tighten sagging jowls.

​

The neck is notoriously one of the first places in our bodies to exhibit the signs of ageing. A youthful neck is the holy grail of positive ageing. Also known as the Nefertiti Neck Lift (so named after the famous Egyptian Queen Nefertiti with her elegant swan-like neck) this procedure effectively lifts the corners of the mouth and defines the jawline. The effects of the ageing process include skin losing its elasticity, plumpness and firmness; gravity begins to pull our facial muscles down. Anti-Wrinkle Injections are precisely administered by Mel, Aesthetic Practitioner, to prevent and reverse this downward movement of skin. The results are impressive: sculpted chin and neck, a more defined bone structure, throat area and facial contour.

​

Combining the Nefertiti Neck Lift with the Jawline Slimming treatment creates a beautifully sculpted lower face & neck. Anti-Wrinkle Injections in the upper face will also help achieve a more uniform facial symmetry – creating a relaxed, smooth, youthful appearance without lines or sagging & with enhanced firmness. It is common to combine the Neck Lift & Jawline Slimming with Dermal filler treatments - Jaw Definition, Cheek Enhancement & Chin Augmentation. The Dermal filler completes the rejuvenation of the lower half of the face: restoring cheek volume, plumping out the natural fullness of nasolabial (nose to mouth) folds and lines, softening and lifting the depressions at the corner of the mouth. The Nefertiti neck lift may be the answer if you’ve started to notice a sagging, slack jawline or lax, loose jowl area. Contact the Clinic to book an appointment with Mel.

ANTI-WRINKLE INJECTIONS FOR SAGGING JOWLS

Your jowls are the lower part of your cheeks and are not commonly a body part attributed to looking older. However, it is becoming more common for people to receive Anti-Wrinkle Injections in their jawline to reduce the signs of ageing.

​

While Anti-Wrinkle Injections are more commonly known for being popular as a treatment in areas such as the forehead, there is a popular view that the jowls are the part of the face which are deemed to be the focus when people consider how old you might look.

According to some studies, the first thing a person generally looks at when determining someone’s age is the shape of their face, rather than lines or wrinkles. It is for this reason that Anti-Wrinkle Injections for the jawline and jowls are becoming more popular.

As we age, gravity starts to take effect. Combine that with other factors such as muscle weakness and loss of elasticity, then you tend to see our jowls start to droop.

​

When applied to the jawline, Anti-Wrinkle Injections relaxe the muscles known as the Platysma muscle which can help to prevent the jawline from being pulled down. When this area is treated it can lead to a visibly lifted jaw line.

It is important however to point out that the efficacy of this procedure depends heavily on the individual. While it may seem to work wonders for one person, if the next has much droopier skin or is a lot older the results may be less obvious. There are a variety of factors that could determine how well this procedure works, from weight to age so it is always wise to have a consultation with Mel  in Clinic first.
