Jaw Line Slimming

When the masseter muscles (the main muscle used for chewing) become enlarged due to repeated clenching and grinding, over a long period of time they can become enlarged. The face appears more bulky than it should be due to a built-up jaw and is often described as, ‘rugby jaw’. For women in particular, this can look very masculine and is seen as a loss of femininity.

Often brought on by stress, sleep disorders, poor lifestyle, or simply a bad habit, teeth grinding affects both men and women of all ages. Those affected clench and grind their teeth during waking hours and/or sleep.

Over time, teeth grinding and clenching can negatively impact our health; sensitivity and even deterioration of the enamel. As a subsequent and more deliberating issue some even suffer with earache, neck pain, and migraines.

The effects caused often lead those down the dental route, sleeping in a mouth guard. However, this usually provides little relief. Taking a more aesthetic approach to treatment can provide great relief and improved quality of life.

Toxin treatment to both slim the jawline and ease the physical effects of the condition are an effective solution. Carefully applying toxin into the masseter muscles of the jaw help to relax muscle and reduce the strength of the clenching and the grinding, providing relief and allowing the muscle to de-bulk, slimming the jawline again.

Dependent on the individuals strength of clench and muscle, the effects can last six to nine months and relief experienced in as little as a few days. Improved quality of sleep as a result has been greatly reported.
