Facial Slimming

What is Facial Slimming?

Facial slimming is a non-invasive procedure that targets the masseter muscles to achieve a slimmer face. It's particularly beneficial for individuals seeking to soften a square jawline or ease TMJ (temporomandibular joint) discomfort. Utilizing neurotoxins, the masseter muscles are relaxed, reducing their size and creating a softer facial appearance. Proudly catering to the Greater Toronto Area, Aesthetic Nurse Priscilla  skillfully designs treatments that are aligned with your facial slimming goals, helping you attain a more refined facial contour.

Masseter Reductions

Masseter reductions, a crucial component of our facial slimming services, focus on decreasing the size of the masseter muscle to create a softer, more refined jawline. Learn more about how our tailored approach to Masseter Reductions can align with your aesthetic aspirations.

  • Treatment Area

    The key treatment area for Masseter Reductions is the masseter muscle itself. Located at the angle of your jaw, it's one of the primary muscles used for chewing. This muscle can become enlarged due to factors like genetics or teeth grinding, resulting in a wider or squarer jawline. By injecting neurotoxins directly into this muscle, we can reduce its size and create a softer, slimmer appearance for your face.

  • Results

    Following Masseter Reduction treatment, visible changes usually begin to appear within a few weeks, with optimal results typically seen after 3 weeks.

  • Side Effects

    Common side effects may include temporary swelling, bruising or discomfort at the injection site. Uncommonly, patients may experience headaches or feel slight weakness in the treated area. As with any treatment, severe or persistent side effects should be reported to our clinic immediately.

  • Benefits

    Uncover the unique advantages of Masseter Reductions.


    • Enhanced Facial Contour: Masseter reductions can refine and soften a square or wide jawline, leading to a more balanced and feminine facial appearance.
    • Minimally Invasive: As a non-surgical treatment, masseter reduction is less invasive and requires minimal recovery time compared to surgical alternatives.
    • Improved Functionality: The procedure can enhance jaw movement, potentially improving speech and eating capabilities.
    • Long-lasting Results: The effects of masseter reductions can last several months, offering long-term aesthetic improvements.

  • Candidacy

    Ideal candidates for Masseter Reduction are individuals looking to soften a prominent or square jawline, or those wishing to achieve a more balanced facial contour. It's crucial to undergo a comprehensive consultation to evaluate your health history and aesthetic objectives, ensuring this treatment aligns with your unique needs.

  • Aftercare

    Following your Masseter Reduction treatment,


    • Avoid strenuous physical activity for 24 hours.
    • Keep away from direct heat or sunlight exposure. 
    • Refrain from massaging or putting pressure on the treated area.
    • Stay well-hydrated and maintain a healthy diet.

TMJ

TMJ disorders can cause discomfort and impact your facial aesthetics. We offer targeted TMJ treatments as part of our facial slimming services. Using specialized techniques, we help alleviate TMJ-related symptoms while enhancing your facial profile.

  • Treatment Area

    The primary treatment area for TMJ is the temporomandibular joint itself, which connects the jawbone to the skull. This area includes the masseter muscle, one of the main muscles used in chewing. It's located at the angle of the jaw and when targeted with treatments like neurotoxins, it can provide relief from TMJ-related discomfort.

  • Results

    Results typically start to appear within a few days to a week after treatment and can last for several months.

  • Side Effects

    TMJ treatments can have side effects. These may include temporary discomfort, swelling, or bruising at the injection site. In rare cases, patients may experience difficulty swallowing, speaking, or breathing. These symptoms usually resolve on their own but any persistent or severe side effects should be reported to our clinic immediately.

  • Benefits

    • Pain Relief: TMJ treatments can significantly reduce or eliminate jaw pain, headaches, and other discomforts associated with this condition.
    • Improved Functionality: By addressing the root cause of TMJ, these treatments can enhance jaw movement, making eating and speaking more comfortable.
    • Better Sleep: By alleviating the discomfort caused by TMJ, individuals can experience improved sleep quality.
    • Enhanced Appearance: In addition to relieving symptoms, TMJ treatments can contribute to facial slimming, providing a more balanced, aesthetically pleasing facial structure.

  • Candidacy

    Candidates for TMJ treatments are typically individuals experiencing discomfort or pain from temporomandibular joint disorders, or those seeking to reduce the appearance of a square or wide jawline. However, a thorough consultation is essential to determine suitability for treatment, considering your health history and unique aesthetic goals.

  • Aftercare

    After your TMJ treatment, 


    • Avoid strenuous activity and excessive heat for at least 24 hours. 
    • Do not massage or apply pressure to the treated area. 
    • Stay hydrated and maintain a balanced diet.

  • Will I experience any pain during the procedure?

    The experience of pain during a Facial Slimming treatment can vary as everyone's pain threshold is different. However, most patients describe the sensation as akin to a slight pinch or mild discomfort. 


    At Aesthetic Nurse Priscilla, we prioritize your comfort and apply techniques to make the procedure as painless as possible, ensuring a comfortable and stress-free experience throughout.

  • Can I return to my normal activities after treatment?

    Absolutely. One of the benefits of Facial Slimming treatments is the minimal downtime. You can usually return to your daily routine immediately after the procedure. However, to ensure optimal results and a smooth recovery, it's recommended to steer clear of strenuous physical activity for 24 hours post-treatment. This allows the treated area to heal properly and the effects of the treatment to fully manifest.
