Non-Surgical Facial Slimming

You might not have thought it possible to achieve a beautifully slim, contoured face without having to go under the knife, but I’m here to tell you that this simply isn’t the case. With the continual advancement of non-surgical aesthetics and their growing popularity, new non-surgical facial slimming techniques are regularly coming to fruition. But what you might be surprised to learn is that it is some of the veteran, tried and tested aesthetic treatments that offer some of the best results.

Wrinkle relaxing injections

Wrinkle-relaxing injections could be the key to a slimmer, V-shaped face. A lot of the time, a build-up of muscles around the jaw are responsible for the wider, square shape that can be rather unflattering. This muscle build-up could be the result of tension, stress or general ageing, although this can be relaxed through the application of simple injections into the masseter muscles. Wrinkle-relaxing injections partially stunt muscle movement by blocking nerve signals, initiating muscle atrophy, meaning that they gradually shrink as movement is reduced.

This makes for a highly cost-effective slimming process, with no downtime or recovery, but an option that isn’t best suited for everyone. If your wide jaw is a result of facial structure or excess fat, wrinkle-relaxing injections will not have the same slimming effect.

On the other hand, your skin might be in need of tightening and firming to combat sagging and restore lost volume and shape. This is where dermal filler injections make for a perfect solution, with Dr Firas often implementing the ‘8-point lift’ technique for full facial rejuvenation. By focusing on 8 precise areas of the face, this highly bespoke treatment plan offers expert facial sculpting for a lifted, youthful appearance.
