Botox for Chin, Jaw, & Neck

As we age, wrinkling and dimpling of the chin naturally occurs. Often called dynamic rhytids, these wrinkles are caused by the repetitive motion of the muscles in that area.

Botox® injections in the chin relaxes and limits the movement of the muscles in that area of the face. This makes it possible to achieve a smoother, more youthful appearance. Botox® for dimpled chins works by relaxing the mentalis muscle, which is the muscle that causes a pebbly appearance like an orange peel.

What to Expect from Chin Botox® Treatment

Botox® injections work by blocking cell receptors in the muscles being treated. In turn, this forces the muscles to relax, which smooths lines, wrinkles, and corrects dimpling in the chin. It can also help reshape proportions in the chin area. Chin Botox® is temporary and lasts approximately three to four months.

This is a short, simple, and safe procedure. Patients can expect to be at The Rejuva Center from 30 minutes to an hour or more, depending on the treatment plan. It is important to find the right Botox® provider that you trust and understands your desired results.

After getting chin Botox®, patients will likely notice results within a week to 10 days, although some patients see a difference within the first 48 hours. It can take up to 30 days for the full results to emerge.

The chin isn’t the only area on the face that can benefit from Botox®. Jawline Botox® can soften and reshape the jaw to improve facial contours and enhance the facial structure, giving you a strong, healthy appearance.

The doctor facilitating the procedure injects Botox® into the masseter muscle, which is one of the muscles that aids in chewing. This is the muscle that can be felt along the jawline when clenching your teeth, it often creates discomfort and tightness for people who grind their teeth at night.

Once injected, Botox® weakens the masseter muscle. That’s why many people who have jaw pain turn to masseter Botox® as a treatment option. It also creates a slimming effect for a sleeker appearance and a slender lower face. Additionally, Botox® can reshape square or rectangular faces into more inverted triangles or heart shapes

What to Expect from Masseter Botox® Treatment

A treatment session may last 30 minutes to an hour or more, depending on the extent of the treatment plan and whether jawline Botox® is the only treatment you have scheduled for the day.

Most patients feel a mild pinch during the injection and don’t have any problem resuming normal activities for the rest of their day. Side effects are typically mild and may include redness, bruising, or swelling at the injection site.

As the masseter muscles begin relaxing, the jawline will begin looking slimmer and have a softer overall appearance. Some of our patients have had success in reshaping a square jawline into more of a V-shape using masseter Botox® treatments. The injections may also help create a more symmetrical appearance and alleviate discomfort in the jaw area caused by teeth grinding, jaw clenching, and/or genetics.

Using Botox® for neck lines and other concerns in the neck area can give you a rejuvenated looking neck with smoother, more youthful looking skin. You can get injections in the horizontal wrinkles and lines that develop on the neck, the two vertical bands known as platysma muscles on the neck, or along the lower part of the jawline.

Botox® works by relaxing the muscles in the treatment area to not only smooth the skin, but also subtly tighten the skin and reduce sagging.

In the same way that Botox® relaxes the muscles in your neck, it can also help reshape a turkey neck or double chin to create a slimmer look and tightened skin. Although Botox® can help these areas, Kybella, another type of injectable, has been more effective in melting away the fat in this area to help improve the look of a double chin or turkey neck

What to Expect from Neck Botox® Treatment

You will receive preparation instructions during the initial consultation. For example, patients may need to stop taking certain medications such as aspirin before the procedure. We recommend wearing a loose-fitting shirt with a V-neck or a button-down collar that offers easy access to your neck area — ensuring you’re comfortable during treatment.

On the day of your treatment, a specialist will prepare the treatment area by cleansing it and marking the areas where the doctor will inject the Botox®.

You may feel a slight pinch during the injections. Side effects are typically minimal and mild but may include mild discomfort, bruising, swelling, and redness at the injection sites. Most of our patients can go about their normal routines after treatment, but we usually advise that you refrain from doing any strenuous activities, taking hot baths, and drinking alcohol.
