Hello.
I am Director Bo-hwang Jeong of Cleor Clinic Gangnam.
"I lost weight through dieting, but my face line remains the same."
Even though weight has decreased, the jawline in profile photos remains unchanged,
or there are complaints that it looks even thicker.
This isn't simply a matter of not losing fat.
It could be a sign that the masseter muscles (chewing muscles) on the sides of the jaw are overdeveloped.
Habits such as frequent chewing, teeth grinding during sleep,
or unconsciously clenching the molars can accumulate,
causing the masseter muscles to become thick, like an athlete's calves.
In such cases, dieting alone makes change difficult,
and an approach that regulates the activity of the muscle itself is required;
that is exactly what Gangnam Jaw Botox is for.
Today, I will explain the principles of how Gangnam Jaw Botox works
and the differences between the types of toxins used.
What is Jaw Botox?
Jaw Botox is a procedure where
small amounts of Botulinum Toxin Type A are injected into the developed masseter muscles
to temporarily regulate muscle activity.
As the muscles rest, their volume naturally decreases,
refining a square jawline into a slimmer shape.
Simply put, it applies the principle that muscles shrink when they rest
to the facial muscles.
It is not a procedure that melts fat or shaves bone;
rather, it temporarily reduces muscle activity,
making it a well-known non-surgical option with a relatively low risk of side effects.
Gangnam Jaw Botox Lineup
The Gangnam Jaw Botox offered at our Gangnam branch
is categorized into four types based on the toxin formulation used.
Although the dosage (50u) is the same, the purification methods, clinical data, and price ranges vary by formulation,
allowing you to choose based on your treatment history and desired results.
Advantages of Gangnam Jaw Botox
First, the procedure is quick and has almost no downtime.
The injection time is short, taking about 5 to 10 minutes,
and it is generally possible to return to daily life immediately after the procedure.
Aside from mild bruising or injection marks, the recovery burden is low.
Next, it creates a natural curve of change.
Because the muscle gradually shrinks over 2 to 4 weeks rather than immediately,
it is perceived naturally as "your jawline looks more refined lately,"
rather than giving the impression of a sudden change.
Additionally, the effects tend to stabilize with cumulative treatments.
Re-treatment is typically performed every 3 to 4 months,
and reports show that as the number of treatments increases, muscle volume tends to remain at a stable level.
Finally, it is easy to combine with Botox treatments for other areas.
Since they belong to the same Botulinum Toxin family, it is often performed on the same day
or within a close schedule alongside other options like Wrinkle Botox or Skin Botox.
Who is Gangnam Jaw Botox for?
Those whose face line does not change much even after dieting
Those concerned about a square jaw in profile photos
Those who frequently clench or grind their teeth and feel firm jaw muscles
Those who want to refine their V-line impression non-surgically without the burden of surgery
Those who want consistent jawline management every 3 to 4 months
⚠️ Post-Procedure Precautions
Day of Procedure
Do not rub or massage the treated area strongly.
Avoid hot drinks or food for a while,
and it is best to minimize irritation to the injection sites.
3 Days Post-Procedure
We recommend refraining from strenuous exercise, saunas, steam rooms, and alcohol.
Please also avoid sleeping face down or positions that apply strong pressure to the treated area.
1 Week Post-Procedure
It is safer to schedule appointments that require opening the mouth wide, such as dental treatments,
with a sufficient time interval.
Points to Note in Advance
Changes from Jaw Botox do not appear immediately after the procedure
but settle gradually over approximately 2 to 4 weeks.
The duration of the effect is typically reported to be about 3 to 4 months,
and it is known that as the number of cumulative treatments increases,
the duration of the effect tends to lengthen slightly.
For first-time patients, it is safer to start slightly more conservatively than the standard dose
and adjust in the next session after monitoring the progress.
Treatment may be restricted in the following cases, so a prior consultation is necessary:
If pregnant or breastfeeding
If allergic to Botulinum Toxin components
If you have neuromuscular diseases such as Myasthenia Gravis or Lambert-Eaton Syndrome
If there are acute skin troubles or wounds in the treatment area
If taking certain antibiotics (aminoglycoside class)
❓ Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q. What are the differences between the types of toxins?
All four are the same in that they are Botulinum Toxin Type A.
The differences lie in the purification method, the amount of accumulated clinical data, and the potential for resistance formation.
Korean-made options are good for starting without burden,
and Korean-made Premium (FDA-approved) is a verified option with global certification.
Xeomin has complexing proteins removed, resulting in a lower risk of resistance formation,
and Allergan is the original with the longest history of accumulated clinical data.
Q. Does it affect chewing food?
Since the masseter muscles work together with other muscles, injecting an appropriate dose in a distributed manner generally has little impact on daily meals.
However, there are reports that chewing hard food for a long time
may feel slightly tiring for 2 to 3 weeks after the procedure.
Q. When will I see the effects?
The effects settle gradually over 2 to 4 weeks, not immediately after the procedure.
Since it is a process where the muscle volume decreases while resting,
line changes are often felt as early as 1 week, and typically at the 3 to 4-week mark.
Q. How long do the effects last?
It is reported to last for an average of 3 to 4 months.
As the number of cumulative treatments increases, the duration tends to lengthen slightly,
so many people receive treatments regularly every 3 to 4 months.
Q. Can I receive it with other Botox treatments?
It is common to perform it on the same day or within a close schedule
with Botox for other areas, such as Wrinkle Botox or Skin Botox.
Dosage distribution will be adjusted during the prior consultation.
Q. I'm receiving it for the first time; which option would be best?
First-time patients usually start with Korean-made or Korean-made Premium options,
and after observing their muscle response and the perceived effect,
they often adjust the option for the next session.
The face line does not automatically become slim just because you lose weight.
If the masseter muscles are developed regardless of weight,
an approach that regulates the muscle activity itself is necessary,
which is why Gangnam Jaw Botox is frequently recommended.
The toxin option that suits your muscle development and treatment history
will be determined during the consultation.
At the Gangnam branch, in addition to Gangnam Jaw Botox,
various toxin options such as Wrinkle Botox, Skin Botox, Special Area Botox, Hyperhidrosis Botox, and Body Botox
are being offered
.If you are hesitant about which option is right for you,
please feel free to visit Cleor Clinic Gangnam.
Even before deciding on a procedure, we will provide detailed guidance on your muscle condition
and suitable toxin options through a prior consultation.
