JAWLINE SLIMMING
When overused, the masseter muscle can cause a square-looking jawline, but by injecting muscle relaxing injections, nerve signals are blocked and no longer allow the muscle to contract as tightly. Therefore, reducing its size and resulting in a softer angle at the jaw, a less square jaw and a more youthful oval face.
An effective treatment for reducing a prominent or asymmetric jaw line, the procedure has no downtime and patients generally notice softening of the masseter muscle after 1 week and softening of the jaw line at around 6-8 weeks.
At River Aesthetics we always aim for a soft, natural look which allows us to achieve a significant line improvement whilst still maintaining normal facial expression and helping restore a youthful appearance. As well as contouring the jawline, muscle relaxing injections can also be used to reduce a gummy smile, treat excessive sweating, alleviate teeth grinding and eradicate fine lines & wrinkles.

Teeth Grinding Treatment
A common request we are seeing more and more of at River Aesthetics is the correction of an enlarged jaw, which is often caused by the unconscious clenching or grinding of the teeth, commonly known as Bruxism.

I spent a wonderful morning at River Aesthetics recently.I love the location of the premises in Bournemouth, discreet, but easy to find and get to by car … More or on foot. Parking is easy, but plenty of coffee shops nearby if you've set up a lift to take you home.Not that I needed an escort home. I skipped out of Reception after my treatment into the bustle of Bournemouth, bright-eyed and rosy cheeked, knowing that I was going to feel even better in a few days and definitely looking fresher in a few months.I'd already met the delightful Dr Victoria Manning a couple of weeks previously, when we chatted about life in general during my consultation. She's very good company. She's empathic and I found it myself feeling very relaxed and happy to talk to her about many of the issues that I would normally only ever address to the reflection in my bathroom mirror.After the age of 65, there are many signs relating to our skin, face and body that are easier to ignore than address. Normally I'm grateful that my poor eyesight helps to block out the wrinkles, crevices and crepey skin that I used to notice only with my mother and her friends as they grew older.Victoria gave me hope that, maybe, there are ways to delay these signs of ageing. I'd always accepted that this type of improvement was for other people, in showbusiness, or footballers' wives or on tv. I still can't believe that I've hit the jackpot!I'm so grateful and feel so lucky. I've had Ellanse Dermal Fillers and can already see an amazing difference. My cheeky laughter lines have been smoothed and the hollows in my cheeks have been reduced.The team have told me that I will see more improvements in a few months as the collagen takes effect, but I'm already happy with what I can already see. I was slightly concerned that it would hurt before attending my very first appointment, but I needn't have worried. This procedure is pain-free and Victoria and the team really put me at ease. I didn't expect to feel pampered, but I did - and still do... - 5 star service and 5 star treatment!!!The team at Riverside Aesthetics are lovely!!! Very professional, well presented, smart and classy. They are all … More extremely knowledgeable about their products and they are very friendly and greet you with a genuine smile. The premises and treatment rooms are immaculate!!! Neat, clean and pristine!River Aesthetics is the place you go to if you want the highest standard and the VERY BEST!!!Keep up the great job!!
- Gorgeous setting very easy to find. Beautiful premises - all staff really friendly and made us feel very welcome. Great treatment - we had the platinum … More hydra facial and my skin has never felt better. Will return. 5 service. Thank you
