Masseter Relaxation & Jawline Slimming?
What is
This service focuses on softening the masseter muscles — the strong jaw muscles often responsible for clenching and widening of the lower face. By gently relaxing these muscles, we can reduce the appearance of a square or heavy jawline and alleviate symptoms associated with teeth grinding or jaw tension.
​
The result is a more tapered facial appearance and noticeable relief from daily muscle strain — achieved with a subtle, clinical approach.
Work?
How does it
Overuse of the masseter muscle, often from clenching or bruxism, can cause a widened jawline and discomfort. This treatment works by relaxing the muscle, which reduces its bulk and activity over time.
​
Following a personalised consultation, treatment is administered by a qualified Registered Nurse and includes a medical consultation with a prescribing practitioner. As the muscle relaxes, the jawline appears slimmer and tension-related symptoms may ease.
