Lower Face and Neck Muscle Relaxation Treatment
Improve the lift in your face with this popular treatment
Lower face and neck lifting support treatment
Improve the lift and definition of your lower face with a minimally invasive option that may help reduce the appearance of heaviness around the jawline and neck for some people. As we age, changes in skin and underlying support can contribute to a softer jawline and a less defined neckline. This treatment may help by reducing the downward pull of certain muscles in the lower face and neck.
This treatment uses a muscle relaxant treatment to target specific muscles in the lower face and neck. In suitable patients, this may help create a more defined jawline and a smoother appearance over time. Results vary between individuals and no outcome can be guaranteed.

Risks and Recovery
This is a medical procedure and involves risks. Individual responses and results vary, and no outcome can be guaranteed.
Possible side effects and complications can include redness, swelling, bruising, tenderness, headache, temporary discomfort, unevenness or asymmetry, unintended weakening of nearby muscles, changes in facial expression, and temporary drooping. Treatment in the lower face and neck area can, in some cases, affect swallowing or voice temporarily. Rare but serious complications can occur.
Recovery varies. Many people have minimal downtime, but bruising or swelling may last longer for some individuals. Follow your practitioner’s aftercare instructions, including avoiding rubbing or pressing the treated area for a period and following any activity guidance provided.
Seek urgent medical advice if you develop increasing pain, significant swelling, difficulty swallowing or breathing, voice changes that are worsening, signs of infection, or any other concerning symptoms.
