Jaw Reduction

This varies from patient to patient but you can expect your anti-wrinkle jaw injections reduction to last up to six months, with this longevity increasing with regular treatments over time.

While cosmetic medicine is not without complications or unwanted side effects, we do take every precaution to minimise and limit any complications to offer a safe and comfortable service. Reported side effects include but are not limited to the following: redness in the treatment site (usually lasting two to three hours), discomfort, bruising, swelling, dull heavy sensation, occasional headache. Individual results can vary and are not guaranteed.

Do not take any muscle relaxant medications for three to five days prior to your appointment.

If you are prone to bruising we recommend taking Arnica tablets around four weeks before treatment.
Avoid any facial treatments one week before and after treatment.
Please arrive with the area to be treated clean and free of make-up.
Please advise us of any medications including prescription and over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, and herbal supplements. Having anti-wrinkle injections with certain other medicines may cause side effects.
Advise us about any muscle or nerve conditions, such as MND or Lou Gehrig’s Disease, Myasthenia Gravis, or Lambert-Eaton Syndrome, as you may be at increased risk of side effects including difficulty swallowing and difficulty breathing from typical doses of anti-wrinkle injections.

Immediately after treatment, there may be small bumps, redness and swelling to the treated area. This is a normal reaction and usually settles in a few hours. During this time, we advise that you stay upright and don’t lie down.
If you experience a mild headache after treatment, please treat with Paracetamol. Do not take Aspirin, Ibuprofen, Nurofen or other anti-inflammatory medications, as this may increase bruising.
Strenuous exercise and rubbing or massaging the area should be avoided for 24 hours post treatment.

Heat can increase the chances of bruising at the injection site. You should avoid saunas, steam rooms hot tubs or tanning for four hours after having your treatment. It is also best to avoid strenuous aerobic exercise, or rubbing or massaging the treatment area for 24 hours.
