How It
WORKS
What Is Masseter Treatment?
Masseter Treatment involves the injection of a wrinkle relaxer directly into the masseter muscle, the large muscle responsible for chewing and jaw clenching. When this muscle is overactive, it can lead to teeth grinding (bruxism), jaw pain, tension headaches, and a widened or square-shaped lower face. The wrinkle relaxer works by gently relaxing the muscle, reducing its activity over time. As the muscle relaxes, it gradually reduces in size, resulting in a slimmer, more contoured jawline and significant relief from jaw-related tension and discomfort.
Did You Know?
The masseter is one of the strongest muscles in the body. When overworked through clenching or grinding, it can become enlarged, changing the shape of the lower face and contributing to chronic jaw pain and headaches.
Masseter Treatment not only refines your facial profile but can also significantly improve your quality of life by reducing the discomfort associated with bruxism and TMJ-related tension.
A Targeted Approach For
LASTING RELIEF
What Is the Masseter Treatment Procedure Like?
During your appointment, Nurse Ruby will assess your jaw muscle activity and facial anatomy to determine the ideal injection points and dosage. The wrinkle relaxer is then precisely injected into the masseter muscle on each side of the jaw. The procedure is quick and well-tolerated, with most clients describing only mild, brief discomfort. No anaesthesia is typically required, and the entire appointment is usually completed within 30 minutes.

What Concerns Does Masseter Treatment Address?
Masseter Treatment can address a variety of functional and aesthetic concerns, including:
- Teeth Grinding (Bruxism): Relaxes the jaw muscle to reduce involuntary grinding and clenching, particularly during sleep.
- Jaw Tension & Pain: Relieves chronic tightness and discomfort in the jaw and surrounding areas.
- Tension Headaches: Reduces headaches caused by overactivity in the jaw muscles.
- Square or Wide Jawline: Softens and slims a prominent or overly angular lower face for a more balanced facial profile.

Masseter Treatment Recovery
Recovery from Masseter Treatment is minimal. You may experience slight redness, swelling, or tenderness at the injection sites, which typically subsides within a few hours. It is recommended to avoid rubbing or massaging the treated area for 24 hours and to avoid strenuous exercise for 24–48 hours post-treatment. Nurse Ruby will provide detailed aftercare instructions to ensure optimal results and a comfortable recovery.
NATURALLY REFINED
Masseter Treatment Results
Results from Masseter Treatment develop gradually and naturally. Many clients experience relief from jaw tension and grinding within the first 1–2 weeks. Visible facial slimming typically becomes noticeable after 4–8 weeks as the muscle gradually reduces in size. Results generally last 3–6 months, and with regular treatments, many clients find that the effects last longer over time as the muscle becomes trained to remain in a more relaxed state.
