Masseter reshaping Injections
The masseter muscle runs down both sides of the rear of your face from the cheekbones down to your jawline. It is an extremely important muscle that helps with chewing, smiling, and many facial expressions. It is also responsible for how prominent the lower jaws look and the broader structure of the face. Sadly, prominent masseter muscles give the face a masculine look, and many people look for a way to correct that.
What is Masseter reshaping Injection?
A cosmetic procedure that injects Anti-Wrinkle Injections into the masseter muscles on both sides of your face helping it relax and appear less prominent. It is a great procedure for people who have naturally looking wider jaws that look masculine and want an easy and safe way of fixing it. The effects will last for 3 to 6 months depending on how strong the muscles are, and with repeated use, the results can last much longer.
