What to Expect
Ease and Enhance! Our Masseter Treatment Reduces Jaw Tension for a More Refined Facial Contour.
Our masseter treatment usually takes about 20 minutes to complete. Before beginning, a topical anaesthetic may be applied to ensure comfort throughout the procedure. This treatment involves injecting a solution directly into the masseter muscles at the sides of the jaw. The injections help relax these muscles, which can reduce jaw tension and decrease the size of the muscles over time, often enhancing facial aesthetics and easing symptoms associated with teeth grinding.
Masseter Botox
The masseter is one of the muscles on either side of your face that helps you chew and connects your cheekbone to your lower jawbone. Botox or other anti-wrinkle injections that are injected into the masseter, are a safe and effective aesthetic treatment that relaxes the overactive masseter muscle for facial slimming and to prevent tooth grinding.
Anti-wrinkle injections are administered by our highly qualified aesthetic doctors after a complimentary consultation to ensure you are seeking the treatments best suited for you.

Treatment Experience
- The Treatment Experience Consultation: Your journey with Masseter Botox begins with a consultation with a qualified healthcare professional. They will assess your jawline, discuss your goals, and determine whether you are a suitable candidate for the treatment.
- Treatment Procedure: On the day of the procedure, the targeted areas of your masseter muscles will be identified, and a topical numbing cream may be applied for added comfort. The Botox injections are typically administered using a fine needle, with the entire process usually taking 10 to 15 minutes.
- Recovery and Results: After the treatment, you can resume your normal activities immediately. However, it is advisable to avoid rubbing or massaging the treated area for the first few hours. Over the next few days and weeks, you will gradually notice the effects on your Masseter muscle as your jawline becomes slimmer and more contoured.
