Facial Contouring

Facial contouring is one of the fastest-growing non-invasive and non-surgical facial reconfiguration techniques. It’s a highly effective method of enhancing facial features and reducing the appearance of the signs of aging. As you age, your skin naturally loses elasticity causing it to sag and develop wrinkles. This is most noticeable in the face, which is why more and more people are proactively seeking preventative and reactionary treatments to help improve their appearances.

You can contour, correct, and even change the shape and look of your face. Dr Sunny Clinic offers several treatment options for cosmetic facial contouring

BOTOX

Botulinum toxin A is a highly efficacious and cost-effective, nonsurgical option for reducing the width and shape of the lower face and jawline. The results can vary from the subtlest thinning of the face to an extremely thin, cachectic appearance. Many nuances can be achieved. The administration is simple, and the process takes barely 5 minutes in an office setting. Botulinum toxin A can also be effectively used to reduce the bulk of an enlarged parotid gland without affecting saliva production.

Can Botox be used to slim and contour your face?

Botox can be used to slim and contour the face. Doctors achieve this by targeting the masseter muscles at the back of the jaw. These muscles can give the face a square shape. The results may take up to 3 weeks post-treatment and may last around 6 months

What’s the procedure like?

Dermatologist will do a brief visual assessment of the area to be treated, he or she will palpate the area to be treated, manually isolate the muscles, and then do a series of two to three injections to each side of the lower face.

Are there any potential side effects?

While facial slimming with Botox is a relatively low-risk procedure, there are potential side effects that can occur. Which includes headache, redness, muscle weakness, muscle stiffness, dry mouth etc.
