How Does the Treatment Work?
Liquid Jawline Lift
The jawline plays a very important role in the beauty and youthful appearance of the face. Repeated contraction of the depressor muscles of the lower third of the face and neck is one of the causes of loss of definition in the jaw area.
By relaxing these muscles, Botox injections in the lower face can improve the area and bring about significant rejuvenation.
Repeated treatments, carried out from the beginning of the ageing process, reduce muscle shortening and can therefore have a very beneficial impact in preventing the changes that lead to loss of jawline definition.
The masseter muscle defines the posterior jaw and its hypertrophy is an unwanted feature. Botox has also been used successfully to reduce the muscle mass of the masseter and change the contour of the posterior jaw.
In addition, contraction of the chin muscles contributes to loss of the lower front contour of the face, flattening the chin and indirectly increasing the downward pull on the corners of the mouth.

Benefits
The aim is to regain a defined demarcation between the face and the neck. Weakening the depressor muscles in the lower third of the face reduces the negative effect of the muscles that pull down the structures around the jaw area, including the skin, fat and ligaments. It also allows the corners of the mouth to be lifted.
If we consider the long-term repetitive contraction of the depressor muscles (platysma, depressor anguli oris, mentalis) on the jawline over a lifetime, early and consecutive treatments could not only improve the immediate appearance of the lower third of the face but also help prevent ageing.
Patients with severe skin laxity and/or significant submandibular fat accumulation will not benefit from Botox injections and can only consider whether surgery is appropriate.
Toxin injections are also an important additional treatment when fillers are placed in the marionette area and the jaw areas, because the reduced muscle activity will increase the longevity of the hyaluronic acid filler.
Technique
Assessment of the muscles at rest and at maximum contraction to evaluate muscle volume and the exact position of the injection points.
Dynamic analysis of the wrinkles makes it possible to see the muscles that cause them and to personalise the treatment.
