A well-defined jawline is an essential feature of a balanced facial structure. For some, though, an overly square or bulky lower face can be a concern.
If you’re frustrated with your current jaw shape and want a slimmer, more sculpted look, a neuromodulator like Xeomin® may be the right option. It can contour your face without invasive surgeries or downtime.
At Skin Deep Laser MD in Fort Worth, TX, Dr. Laura S. Riehm, a Diplomat of the American Board of Anesthesiology, and her staff offer Xeomin injections to transform the jawline. Learn about the benefits of this service below.
What Is Xeomin?
Xeomin is an FDA-approved neurotoxin injectable. It temporarily relaxes targeted muscles by blocking nerve signals. Unlike some injectables, Xeomin contains no additives. This makes it a purer choice for aesthetic and therapeutic treatments.
How Xeomin Works for Jawline Contouring
Xeomin helps refine the jawline by relaxing the masseter muscles, which are responsible for chewing. When injected into these muscles, Xeomin reduces their activity. The result is a softer, more V-shaped jaw.
As the masseter muscles gradually shrink, the jaw will appear more sculpted. Most patients notice visible slimming effects within four to six weeks, with continued improvements over time.
Results typically last three to six months, although you’ll need regular maintenance sessions to extend the outcomes. The procedure is quick, requires no downtime, and provides a subtle yet noticeable change in facial definition.
Who Is a Good Candidate for Xeomin?
Xeomin injections can be a great facial sculpting option for individuals who:
- Have a square or prominent jawline caused by enlarged masseter muscles.
- Struggle with chronic teeth grinding (bruxism) or jaw clenching. Both behaviors can make the muscles appear more pronounced.
- Want a contoured facial shape without extensive procedures.
A discussion with an experienced provider can help you decide whether you’re a good Xeomin candidate.
