Face Treatment

Jaw Slimming & Teeth Grinding Injections


The facial shape can significantly alter the appearance and attractiveness of a person particularly whether they are male or female.

Females appear more attractive and a beautiful with a triangular or heart-shaped face, narrowing towards the chin. Men however in most cases appear more masculine with a sharp angled jawline and a squarer face. Also, patients can experience enlargement of the muscles around the jaw, particularly with teeth grinding (bruxism) which can look unnatural.

Slimming of the jaw involves muscle relaxing injections into the masseter which is one of the main muscles of chewing. This involves very tiny needles and is almost pain-free. Over the course of 4 weeks or more, the muscle will become relaxed and will shrink in size. Despite the relaxation, chewing is often not affected at all because of other muscles which can become involved. This can lead to a more feminine face for ladies, and can reduce an un-naturally enlarged masseter muscle in men. It can also significantly reduce the impact of teeth grinding, protecting the teeth and leading to a more comfortable night’s sleep, both for the patient and partner!
