Botulinum Toxin – Xeomin (Face Slimming / Tightening)

Botulinum toxin injections, such as Xeomin, are commonly used to relax targeted facial muscles and slim the lower face, especially the jawline. When injected into the masseter muscles, it helps reduce bulk from jaw clenching or teeth grinding, resulting in a softer, more V-shaped facial contour.It can also be used for subtle lifting effects when placed strategically in areas like the jawline or neck to refine overall facial definition.

About This Treatment
