Visually slim the face with muscle relaxant

Facial Slimming

A slim face is often considered especially attractive, while a broader facial shape is perceived by many as less appealing. The cause is not always excess fat tissue, it is often due to an overdeveloped masseter muscle (the chewing muscle). With Facial Slimming at LIVION in Hamburg, it is possible to achieve a slimmer, more aesthetic facial contour while also relaxing the masseter muscle. This treatment can often reduce teeth grinding (bruxism) and, in some cases, even alleviate migraine symptoms.

What is facial slimming treatment?

Face slimming at LIVION in Hamburg

Facial slimming with Botox is a minimally invasive procedure that aims to achieve a slimmer and more defined face. Botulinum toxin (Botox) is injected into the chewing muscle or masseter muscle to reduce its activity. This can reduce muscle mass and achieve a slimmer face. The effect of Botox on muscle activity causes a visible change that unfolds over several weeks and often lasts for several months.

How is facial slimming performed?

Defined facial contours with muscle relaxants

During facial slimming, the physician injects a muscle relaxant into the masseter, the rear jaw muscle. Local anesthesia is not necessary, as a very fine needle is used. The results are not immediately visible. It usually takes a few days to weeks for the effect to appear, as it is caused by the reduced activity of the jaw muscle. Muscle relaxants are a natural substance that is fully broken down by the body. To maintain the desired result, the treatment should be repeated regularly. At LIVION Hamburg, the effects of facial slimming typically last approximately nine to twelve months.

What you need to bear in mind after treatment

Aftercare for a facial slimming treatment

After the masseter treatment, slight swelling and bruising may occur, which usually disappear after a few days and can be easily concealed with make-up until then. You will usually be able to socialise immediately after your facial slimming treatment.

FAQ

The most frequently asked questions about facial slimming with muscle relaxants

Facial Slimming is a minimally invasive treatment designed to visually narrow the face. Muscle relaxants (Botulinumtoxin A) are injected precisely into the masseter muscle. This relaxes the muscle and, over time, leads to a visibly slimmer face—without surgery and without downtime.

This treatment is ideal for individuals with a pronounced masseter muscle that makes the face appear wide—often due to excessive chewing, teeth grinding, or clenching at night. In addition to the aesthetic effect, Facial Slimming can also relieve functional issues such as jaw clenching, bruxism, or tension-related headaches.

Initial effects are typically visible after about 7–14 days, with the full result appearing within 4–6 weeks. The face appears slimmer and more defined—completely non-surgical.

The effect of the muscle relaxant generally lasts between 9 and 12 months. To maintain the defined appearance, regular follow-up treatments are recommended.

The injection is performed with a very fine needle directly into the masseter muscle. Anesthesia is not required, as the treatment is almost painless. The procedure takes about 10–15 minutes, and you can return to normal activities immediately afterward.

Mild swelling or small bruises may occur immediately after treatment but usually subside quickly and can be easily concealed with makeup. Avoid sports, sauna, or exposure to intense heat for 24–48 hours.
