    Slimming injections are a method of injecting botulinum toxin to temporarily relax facial muscles, which reduces facial fat and enhances your facial contours. You can typically notice changes in your face shape about one week after the injection, with results generally lasting between 3 to 6 months.

    How effective are slimming injections?

    Slimming injections work by relaxing facial muscles through botulinum toxin injections, which reduces fat and improves facial contours. Most patients begin to notice a change in their facial shape around one week after the procedure, and the effects typically last for 3 to 6 months.

    How can I tell if I am a candidate for slimming injections?

    You can perform a simple self-test: clench your teeth firmly. If you feel significant muscle movement under your fingers, you likely have developed masseter muscles. Based on the degree of muscle development, we can create a customized injection plan tailored to your specific facial structure.

    What brands are available and what should I look for?

    Common brands available on the market include Botox and BOTOX. When choosing, it is important to consider the specific indications, the longevity of the results, and safety. Choosing a reputable clinic and an experienced physician is essential to minimize potential risks.

    FAQ

    1. What is the risk of facial sagging or hollowing? By choosing a professional aesthetic clinic and an experienced doctor, we can minimize the risk of facial sagging or hollowing. 2. How do I perform the masseter muscle self-test? As described above, the self-test involves clenching your teeth to check for muscle movement. Selecting a customized injection plan based on your specific muscle development is key to achieving the desired results.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Can jaw Botox cause facial sagging?

    Yes, in some patients. When the masseter muscle (jaw muscle) is weakened, the overlying soft tissue can lose support, creating a softer jawline or slight jowling. This risk is higher in patients over 40 or those with already thin faces. A skilled doctor assesses whether your jaw width is from muscle (Botox-responsive) or bone/fat (not Botox-responsive) before treating.

    How much does jaw Botox cost in Bangkok?

    Jaw Botox in Bangkok costs ฿8,000-15,000 per session depending on brand (Allergan/Botox, Xeomin, Nabota, Hutox, Neuronox) and units used (typically 50-100 units for both sides). VERZO CLINIC near BTS Ekkamai offers multiple FDA-approved brands with transparent per-unit pricing.

    Am I a good candidate for jaw Botox (square face treatment)?

    Jaw Botox works best when jaw width is caused by enlarged masseter muscles (try: clench your teeth and feel if the jaw bulges). If your wide jaw is primarily bone structure or fat deposits, Botox will not help — you may need fillers for contouring or other approaches. A 10-minute clinical assessment determines this.

    What are the alternatives if jaw Botox is not suitable for me?

    Alternatives depend on the cause: for bone-related width, surgical reduction is the definitive option (not offered at VERZO); for fat-related fullness, facial liposuction or fat-dissolving injections (Neobella, Lipo V) may help; for skin laxity creating a heavy lower face, HIFU (Ultraformer MPT) or thread lifts are better options than Botox.
