How It Works

Your practitioner administers a prescription-only therapeutic substance into the masseter (jaw) muscles using precise, controlled techniques. By temporarily reducing muscle overactivity, the treatment helps relieve the tension and strain associated with habitual clenching and grinding.

A comprehensive consultation takes place before treatment to assess your jaw muscle activity, facial structure, health history, and specific concerns. Your practitioner takes the time to understand the pattern and severity of your grinding, creating a personalised plan that addresses both the functional discomfort and any cosmetic effects on the lower face.

Why Choose This Treatment

More than a cosmetic treatment – this approach addresses the functional discomfort of teeth grinding while also refining the appearance of the lower face. Your practitioner targets the source of tension, not just the symptoms.

  • Reduces overactivity in the jaw muscles responsible for clenching and grinding
  • May help relieve tension and discomfort associated with habitual grinding
  • Softens and contours the lower face as muscle bulk gradually decreases
  • Quick 20 to 30-minute treatment with minimal downtime
  • Results typically visible within 2 to 3 weeks, lasting 3 to 6 months
  • Personalised to your muscle activity, facial structure, and individual concerns

What to Expect

Changes typically begin to appear within 2 to 3 weeks, with the full effect becoming evident at around 4 weeks. As the jaw muscles relax, many clients notice a reduction in tension and a visibly softer, more balanced lower face.

Results generally last 3 to 6 months, depending on individual factors such as the severity of grinding, muscle strength, and lifestyle. Maintenance treatments may be recommended to support ongoing muscle relaxation and comfort. Your practitioner discusses realistic expectations during your consultation, and outcomes vary between individuals.
