FACIAL SLIMMING AND EXCESSIVE TEETH GRINDING
reveal a relaxed and fresh appearance
A broader jawline can be a common concern for individuals with strong masseter muscles, which are responsible for chewing and clenching. At our clinic, we offer personalised consultations to assess concerns related to jawline contour and symptoms associated with masseter overactivity.
In some cases, a qualified health professional may recommend a prescription-only treatment aimed at reducing the activity of these muscles. This may assist in softening the appearance of a square jawline and improving facial harmony. Additionally, some clients experiencing issues such as teeth grinding, jaw tension, or discomfort in the temple area may find that relaxing the masseter muscles provides relief—though results can vary.
Any treatment recommendations will be made during a face-to-face consultation and tailored to your individual concerns and health history.
Frequently asked questions
What concerns does facial slimming treat?
It helps reduce jaw tension, teeth grinding and headaches by reducing the size of the masseter muscle, which ultimately results in a slimmer looking face.
How long does facial slimming last?
The anticipated duration of this treatment typically falls within the range of four to six months.
What does facial slimming do?
Facial Slimming involve the administration of anti-ageing product into the masseter muscle, which is responsible for jaw clenching and teeth grinding. This treatment helps slim the face by achieving the following:
- Muscle Relaxation: The treatment temporarily relaxes the masseter muscle, reducing its size and activity. This, in turn, diminishes the prominence of the muscle and softens the jawline's angular appearance.
- Jawline Refinement: By reducing the masseter muscle's bulk, the jawline becomes more slender and oval-shaped. This creates a more aesthetically pleasing and balanced facial contour.
- Facial Symmetry: Masseter reduction can also correct facial asymmetry caused by an overdeveloped or enlarged masseter muscle, helping to achieve a more harmonious and symmetrical facial appearance.
The treatment not only offers cosmetic benefits by slimming the face but can also provide relief to individuals who experience discomfort and medical issues related to teeth grinding and jaw clenching, as mentioned in the previous responses.
