If your lower face appears wider or more square, enlarged masseter muscles may be contributing to its shape. These powerful chewing muscles can become more prominent over time, particularly in those who regularly clench or grind their teeth.
Dr Zahraa uses targeted anti-wrinkle injections to relax the masseter muscles, allowing them to gradually reduce in size and creating a softer, more contoured jawline over time.
Dr Zahraa assesses your facial symmetry and masseter muscle strength while discussing both your aesthetic goals and any jaw tension or clenching.
A small number of carefully placed injections are administered directly into the masseter muscles on each side of the face.
The muscles need time to relax and reduce in size, so the facial slimming effect develops gradually rather than immediately. Visible slimming typically becomes more noticeable over 4–8 weeks, while a reduction in muscle tension may be felt sooner.

Avoid Intense Chewing
Choose easier-to-eat foods and avoid particularly tough or chewy foods, chewing gum and hard sweets for the first day.
Keep Hands Off
Avoid rubbing, massaging or applying unnecessary pressure to the jawline.
Skip Strenuous Exercise
Avoid intense exercise or heavy sweating for the remainder of the day.
Stay Upright
Keep your head in a neutral, upright position for approximately 4–6 hours following treatment.
Avoid Excessive Heat
Skip saunas, steam rooms and intense sun exposure during the initial 48 hours.
Monitor Your Progress
Contact Lotus Spa if you experience unusual swelling or pain that does not settle.
Allow Results to Develop
A reduction in jaw tension may be noticeable within the first week, while visible slimming generally develops over 4–8 weeks.
Temporary Muscle Fatigue
Your jaw may feel slightly tired while chewing during the first week or two as the muscles adjust.
Results typically last around 4–6 months, depending on muscle activity and metabolism. Many clients choose to maintain their results with approximately two appointments each year.
