The Science Behind Facial Contouring Treatments

Monique Radatti • May 15, 2025

Facial contouring has become one of the most sought-after treatments in the world of aesthetic enhancement. Whether it’s defining the jawline, enhancing the cheekbones, or reducing facial asymmetry, contouring can help create a more balanced appearance. At MUSE by Monique, we provide safe and effective facial contouring treatments to subtly enhance your natural features.


In this blog, we’ll break down the science behind facial contouring treatments like volume improving treatments and masseter treatments, explaining how they work, why they are safe, and what realistic outcomes you can expect.

Facial contouring refers to the process of enhancing the natural structure of your face by adding volume, defining features, and restoring balance. Our faces lose volume and shape as we age, which can lead to sagging skin, hollows in the cheeks, and a less defined jawline. Facial contouring treatments work by adding subtle volume to key areas of the face, creating a smoother, more sculpted look without the need for surgery.


While surgical options like facelifts and chin implants provide more dramatic results, cosmetic contouring treatments, such as volume improving treatments and masseter treatments, offer a safe, customisable, and low-risk alternative with minimal downtime.

One of the most common treatments for facial contouring are volume improving treatments. These treatments add volume to areas of the face that have lost fullness due to aging, genetics, or lifestyle factors. Common areas targeted by this treatment include the cheeks, jawline, and chin areas.

Whether you're looking to add volume to your cheeks, define your jawline, or achieve a more sculpted facial appearance, MUSE by Monique offers a range of facial contouring treatments to help you achieve your aesthetic goals. We take the time to listen to your concerns, assess your needs, and create a customised treatment plan that aligns with your vision.
