Jaw Slimming in Folkestone & Sheerness
Jaw Slimming is a non-surgical injectable treatment that softens a square or wide-looking jawline by targeting the masseter muscle — the muscle used for chewing, which can become enlarged through habits like teeth grinding (bruxism) or simply natural facial structure.
At KBP Aesthetics, Jaw Slimming is used to create a softer, more oval facial contour, without surgery or downtime. Available at our Folkestone and Sheerness clinics in Kent.
What Causes a Wider Jawline?
How Jaw Slimming Works
Jaw Slimming uses targeted injections placed directly into the masseter muscle, gradually relaxing and reducing its size over several weeks. As the muscle softens, the overall jawline appears narrower and more oval, creating a softer facial silhouette. Many clients also notice a reduction in jaw tension or teeth-grinding symptoms as an added benefit.
Am I a Good Candidate for Jaw Slimming?
Jaw Slimming tends to suit clients with a visibly square or wide jawline caused by masseter muscle size, or those experiencing jaw tension from teeth grinding. Because jaw width can also be structural (bone-related), your practitioner will assess your jaw during consultation to confirm whether Jaw Slimming is likely to achieve the result you’re looking for, or whether a different approach would suit you better.
As with all injectable treatments, suitability depends on medical history, current medication, and whether you’re pregnant or breastfeeding.

At appropriate treatment doses, normal chewing function is maintained. Your practitioner will discuss dosing carefully to balance jawline softening with normal muscle function.
