How much do facial slimming treatments cost in Australia?
Facial slimming treatments — used to reduce the appearance of a square or bulky jawline and to address muscle tension caused by enlarged masseter muscles— vary widely in cost across Australia. Understanding the pricing landscape can help you plan your investment wisely and set realistic expectations before you book a treatment.
Because masseter slimming can be delivered by medical professionals (such as muscle-relaxing treatments), prices are influenced by several factors, including treatment extent, practitioner experience, clinic location, and the specific goals of your treatment.
Typical price ranges in Australia
In Australia, the cost for a single session of masseter slimming treatment generally falls within the following ranges:
- Budget clinics or mild masseter muscles: From around $550–$750 per session.
- Mid-range clinics or moderate masseter muscles: Most patients will see prices around $750–$950 per session depending on the dosing and practitioner expertise.
- Premium clinics or strong masseter muscles: In some cases, prices may go up to $950–$1,350 or more if higher doses or stronger reduction strategies are used, or when specialised diagnostic techniques are applied.
What influences the cost?
Several key factors affect how much you’ll pay for masseter slimming treatments:
-
Muscle size and treatment goals
- Patients with stronger, larger masseter muscles typically require more extensive treatment to achieve the desired effect, which increases cost.
-
Location & clinic type
- Clinics in major metropolitan areas — particularly Sydney and Melbourne — often charge higher rates due to higher operating costs. Suburban or regional clinics may offer comparatively lower pricing.
-
Practitioner expertise
- Highly experienced doctors or specialists with advanced training in facial anatomy and jawline treatments may charge more per session. Conversely, clinics with less experienced injectors may advertise lower prices but with a higher risk of suboptimal results or side effects if placement and dosing are not tailored correctly.
-
Package options & multi-session plans
- Some practices offer discounted pricing when you pre-pay for multiple sessions, which can be cost-effective if your treatment plan involves periodic repeat sessions for maintenance.
Cost per treatment vs unit pricing
Different clinics may price masseter slimming treatments in one of two ways:
Per session or per area pricing: A flat rate for the entire treatment area, regardless of exact dosing. Several clinics in Australia list masseter or jawline reduction at fixed prices such as $650–$950 per session. However they almost always have a cap on the treatment extent, with additional fees payable if you exceed this.
Per unit pricing: Clinics may charge by the number of units used which results in a variable total treatment cost.
Because regulatory guidelines make it difficult for clinics to publish unit pricing publicly, a full consultation is often required to receive an accurate quote.
Long-term cost considerations
Masseter slimming is not usually a one-time treatment. Because the effects of muscle relaxation treatments are temporary and wear off over months, most people require repeat sessions every 3–6 months to maintain the outcome.
When planning your treatment, you should consider not just the cost of a single session, but the likely schedule of ongoing treatments if you want to sustain the results long-term.
Cost comparison with other options
Compared with surgical jaw reduction, non-surgical masseter slimming is significantly more affordable and involves far less downtime. However, it is also less permanent and requires maintenance.
Beyond masseter slimming and surgery, there are no other treatment options to slim your lower face.
Getting a personalised quote
Because individual anatomy, muscle strength, and treatment goals vary greatly, the most accurate cost estimate comes from an in-clinic consultation. During that session, a practitioner will assess your masseter muscle activity, discuss your expectations, and recommend a tailored plan.
However, at Cosmetic Connection, we have developed a unique all-inclusive fixed-price approach to masseter slimming treatments with no hidden extras. This means you know exactly what you’ll pay before you even make a booking.
