Is radio frequency used for jaw reduction?

May 30, 2013
Asked By:Anemoneg

I was told I can you reduce the jaw muscle for up to 2-3 years. I am tired of getting Botox to slim my jaw muscle down every 4 months, and it's expensive... I was wondering is RF something commonly done, and if I repetitively do it will my muscle stop growing back?
