Aftercare and Recovery
Following the procedure, most patients can return to their usual activities with minimal downtime. However, it is recommended to avoid strenuous physical activity and to refrain from applying pressure to the jawline for the remainder of the day.
The effects of treatment generally become noticeable within 7 to 10 days and may continue to develop over the following weeks.
Post-Procedure Recommendations
Avoid facial massages or placing your face in a facial cradle for at least 24 hours after treatment.
Avoid facial laser or electrical treatments for two weeks post-treatment.
You may resume your usual skincare routine, including wearing makeup, on the same day as your treatment unless advised otherwise.
Potential Side Effects
Common side effects include mild redness, soreness, or bruising at the injection sites. Some individuals may experience temporary muscular discomfort. These effects usually resolve on their own and can be managed with a cold compress or over-the-counter pain relief if needed.
Additional Information
Because the results of masseter muscle relaxation treatments are temporary, further treatments may be required to maintain the desired effect.
In rare cases, some individuals may notice changes to their smile following treatment. This can occur if nearby muscles, such as the risorius muscle, are affected. Dr Wong will discuss all potential risks and side effects with you during your consultation.
