What is Botulinum Injections?, and how does it help reduce wrinkles and slim the jawline?
Botulinum Toxin is one of the most popular aesthetic treatments that many have heard of, yet questions often remain — how does it actually work, is it safe, and what post-treatment care is required
💉 What is Botulinum Injections
Botulinum Toxin is a substance with a muscle-relaxing effect. When injected into areas where muscles are overactive — such as regions where facial expressions cause wrinkles
it temporarily weakens the targeted muscles. As a result, the skin appears smoother, and fine lines and wrinkles are visibly reduced.
👀 Where Can Botulinum Injected to Reduce Wrinkles?
In general, Botulinum toxin can be injected in several areas to reduce wrinkles, such as:
-
Between the eyebrows (to reduce frown lines)
-
Outer corners of the eyes (crow’s feet)
-
Forehead (to smooth lines that appear when raising the eyebrows or expressing emotions)
-
And other areas where repetitive muscle movement causes fine lines.
Within 1–2 weeks after the injection, Botulinum toxin begins to take full effect — the skin appears firmer and smoother. When smiling, frowning, or making facial expressions, the treated muscles move less, making wrinkles appear softer or temporarily disappear.
The effects typically last for about 4–6 months, depending on individual care and lifestyle.
😬 What Is Jaw Reduction Botulinum Injections
Jaw reduction with Botulinum injections involves injecting Botulinum toxin into the masseter muscles (jaw muscles) to relax and reduce their size.
It is suitable for individuals with a wide jawline caused by muscle enlargement, rather than by bone structure or fat.
Results after jaw Botox:
-
Helps create a slimmer, softer, and more contoured facial shape
-
Reduces jaw tension or pain from teeth grinding or clenching
-
When smiling or biting, the jaw muscles appear less prominent than before
Visible results typically appear within 1–2 weeks after treatment, and the effects usually last around 4–6 months.
🩺 Post-Botulinum Injections Care Guidelines
To ensure optimal and safe results, the following recommendations are advised:
-
Do not press or massage the injection area for at least 6 hours to prevent Botulinum toxin from spreading to unintended areas.
-
Avoid lying flat or bending forward for about 4–6 hours after the treatment.
-
Avoid heat exposure — such as saunas, steam rooms, or very hot showers — during the first month.
-
Refrain from strenuous exercise within the first 24–48 hours.
-
Avoid alcohol for 1–2 days, as it may affect Botulinum toxin effectiveness.
-
Stay hydrated to support recovery.
-
Minor redness or bumps usually resolve within 1 day. For mild swelling, you may apply a gentle cold compress.
