About
About the treatments?
Jawline softening at Real You Clinic involves precise use of wrinkle-relaxing injections, typically targeting the masseter muscles, the muscles responsible for chewing and jaw clenching. Overactivity in these muscles can cause the jaw to appear wider or more prominent, often leading to a more square facial shape. By relaxing these muscles, the lower face becomes slimmer, tension is relieved, and the jawline appears softer and more balanced. This treatment is also highly effective for clients suffering from bruxism (teeth grinding) or tension-related jaw discomfort. Dr Kathryn carefully tailors each treatment to preserve facial harmony while delivering noticeable results that enhance both aesthetics and wellbeing.
Wrinkle Relaxing Injections & Dermal Fillers
Using wrinkle relaxing injections and sometimes dermal fillers too can help to soften the jaw line and provide a significant improvement to the appearance of a prominent jaw line in both men and women!
Wrinkle relaxing injections will last approximately 3-6 months when used for reshaping the jaw line. The treatment itself takes only a few minutes and requires no downtime after your visit so you can get back to work.
The results will become noticeable within 2 weeks of your visit for wrinkle relaxing injections whilst dermal fillers will be noticeable immediately. Typically there will be little or no bruising.
Dr Kathryn’s experience in delivering just the right amount of treatment means your jaw line will look softer but also very natural too! Read what her customers say here »
Threadlifts
Dr Kathryn also uses Threadlift procedure to tighten up a slack and loose jawline in men and women in Richmond, Twickenham, London and Surrey.
We often focus on the front of our faces when we look at ourselves in the mirror. However side face profile reveals our age and the slack jawline is a tell tale sign of getting older.
Treatments such as Threadlift are able to produce excellent effects by lifting the jowl fat off the jawline. Threadlifts create support to hold tissues upwards and cause a progressive tightening action from the collagen stimulating after-effects induced by the thread material.
