What is Face Slimming?
Face slimming aims at reducing the appearance of a round or wide face, resulting in a more defined and contoured look. These treatments can be surgical or non-surgical, targeting different areas and structures of the face.
What Determines the Shape of the Face?
There are 3 components that contribute to the size of the face – the bone, fat and muscle.
While the jawline is significantly dependent on bone size and shape, lifestyle factors can also influence the amount of fat on the face and the size of the jaw muscle (Masseter).
Masseter is the main chewing muscle located at the angle of jaw. Frequent chewing or bruxism (teeth grinding) can cause large masseter muscle which lead to a squarer shaped face.
Who need Face Slimming?
Face slimming treatments are suitable for individuals who desire a more defined and contoured facial appearance. Here are some specific groups who might benefit from these procedures:
- Individuals with a Round or Square Face Shape
- People with Prominent Jaw Muscles
- Individuals with Excess Facial Fat
- Comfortable and no downtime
