Large or overactive muscles around the jaw can give the appearance of a wide-set and square-shaped jaw, which, especially in women, can create a more masculine look.
This treatment, which uses Botulinum Toxin injections to relax certain muscles in the jawline region, can reduce the width of the jaw, therefore feminising the face and creating a modelesque V-shaped face shape.
We have a thorough consultation process where we will speak you through the treatment and understand what your desired result is and how we can achieve that for you.
Treatment FAQs
Q. I have heard about a lot of celebrities getting V-Shaped Botox, is this the same as Jawline Botox?
This procedure is the same as jawline Botox. The treatment is currently one of the latest aesthetic trends as seen on Instagram and many a celeb. Jawline Botox has many names such as V-shape Botox and Heart Face Botox, however the treatment is essentially the same, and is both relatively quick as well as painless
This is a procedure which is often paired with subtle cheek filler, to create a sculpted, contoured look. Often, we see many patients who rely on cosmetics to shade the jaw and cheekbone area to emulate shadow and slimming effect, whereas the same look can be recreated with Toxin and maintained with injections every three to four months.
Q. What are the aftercare procedures?
For treatment options involving toxin:
- Utilise the muscles injected for the next 1 hour
- Stay upright for minimum of 3 hours
- No make up for 4 hours
- No rubbing or massaging of the injected area for 4 hours after treatment, including facials.
- Avoid excessive drinking of alcohol or medically necessary blood thinning medication for 24 hours
- Avoid strenuous exercise for 24 hours
- Avoid headwear that is tightly fitted across the forehead.
- Avoid getting any facials, skin peels or laser on your face for 2 weeks.
Q. Are there any side effects?
Immediately after treatment, there may be slight redness, tenderness and an itching sensation in the treated area. This is a normal result of the injection. The inconvenience is temporary and generally disappears in a few hours. If it continues or if other reactions occur, please call us.
If you have had a toxin treatment, you may experience some bruising and small bumps (post injection site swelling). These will settle quickly and are not to be worried about.
Q. Treatment, Travelling and Big Events?
Travelling:
Flying can increase the chances of swelling after your treatment, this isn’t a problem and it is still possible to travel around your appointment, but we would recommend using ice to combat any swelling that you experience.
Big Events:
We advise booking far in advance of any big events you have coming up, to allow any swelling to subside and allow us to address any issues or top ups that my need performing to maximise your results. We ask all of our patients who have big events coming up, to get in contact with us before booking so we can best arrange your treatment to happen at the recommended number of weeks before your event.
Q. When will I see results?
For toxin treatments, you will start seeing results at 2-3 days with maximum effect at 10-14 days. If you feel you need further treatment at this point we can book you in for a complementary top-up treatment.
Testimonials
What our patients really think...
Had 2 visits for fillers/Botox and wonderful results. So happy I found Trikwan Aesthetics. All options were explained in detail, along with the cost, and proposed course of treatment. Results are outstanding, great office communications. Can’t wait to go back for follow up after their office reopens.
I have seen Dr Sanjay three times now (as part of an ongoing treatment plan) and he has been tremendous every time. He is sure to engage with you and talk to you about all facets of the treatment in a personable manner. Trikwan Aesthetics is the best of the best when it comes to non-surgical facial and body treatments. A special shout out goes to Tammy who organises the appointments; an affable, helpful, and proactive person who makes the booking process as seamless as possible.
