Masseter muscle treatment is an effective solution for Bruxism (teeth grinding), jaw clenching, and facial slimming. This muscle relaxant based approach reduces symptoms like jaw pain and teeth grinding while slimming the jawline.  

What is the Masseter Muscle?

The masseter muscle is a key muscle in the jaw, responsible for chewing. Overuse from teeth grinding and jaw clenching can lead to muscle enlargement and associated pain.

Why Treat Bruxism and Jaw Clenching? Chronic teeth grinding can lead to:

  • Jaw and neck pain

  • Tooth damage

  • Headaches

  • Jawline broadening

By relaxing the masseter, these symptoms can be alleviated, and the facial structure can be softened.

How Does the Treatment Work?

Jaw muscle treatments are planned following an individual consultation and assessment of jaw structure and muscle activity. Where appropriate, a muscle relaxant–based approach may be considered to support improved facial balance and a softer lower-face appearance.

All treatments are doctor-led and tailored to the individual.
