Masseter &
Jaw Slimming
Neurotoxin injected into the masseter muscle to slim a square jaw, soften the lower face, and relieve bruxism tension.
About This Service
The masseter is a powerful jaw muscle. When overdeveloped — from grinding, clenching, or genetics — it can create a wide, square jaw. Strategic neurotoxin injections cause the muscle to gradually atrophy over 6–8 weeks, producing a slimmer, more oval lower face contour.
Many patients also notice significant reduction in jaw tension, headaches from bruxism (teeth grinding), and TMJ-related discomfort. Results last 4–6 months; with consistent treatment, the effect often extends over time.
Treatment Options
Masseter Slimming
Bilateral injections into the masseter muscle. Results develop over 6–8 weeks as the muscle reduces in bulk.
TMJ / Bruxism Relief
Same placement, targeting muscle overactivity that causes jaw pain, tension headaches, and tooth grinding.
