Cheek Slimming Injections in Korea: Your Guide to a V-Line Face

A sharp, V-line jaw and slim cheeks are highly desired beauty standards in Korea. For those looking to achieve a more contoured facial shape without surgery, cheek slimming injections are a popular and effective non-surgical solution.These treatments reduce the size of the masseter muscles, which are often overdeveloped from habits like teeth grinding, creating a softer, more slender facial profile.


What Are Cheek Slimming Injections?

Cheek slimming injections, commonly known as "jaw botox," use a neurotoxin to relax the masseter muscles.These muscles, located on the sides of the jaw, can become enlarged over time. The injection causes the muscles to shrink, resulting in a noticeable slimming of the lower face. The procedure is quick, with minimal to no downtime.


Popular Types of Cheek Slimming Injections in Korea

  • Botox/Toxin Injections: The most common method, using a neurotoxin to relax and shrink the masseter muscles.
  • Fat-Dissolving Injections: Used for cheeks that have excess fat rather than large muscles. These injections break down fat cells for a permanent reduction.
  • HIFU (High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound): A non-invasive treatment that uses ultrasound energy to destroy fat and tighten the skin, providing a lifting and slimming effect.
  • RF Lifting (Radiofrequency): Uses radiofrequency energy to stimulate collagen production and tighten the skin, which can help define the jawline.
