Jaw slimming and teeth-grinding treatment at Skin Complete Medical Aesthetics in Newry uses medically-led muscle-relaxing (anti-wrinkle) injections to ease jaw tension, soften a strong or square jawline, and help with teeth grinding and clenching.
What this treatment helps with
By relaxing the masseter, the large muscle at the angle of the jaw, this treatment can help in two ways. For those who grind or clench their teeth (bruxism), it can reduce the tension, jaw ache and headaches this causes. For those who feel their lower face looks wide or square, gently relaxing the muscle over time can create a softer, slimmer jawline. Many clients enjoy both benefits together.
How it works
A small amount of muscle-relaxing injection is placed into the masseter muscle on each side using a fine needle. Over the following weeks the muscle relaxes, easing clenching and gradually softening the jawline. Because the change is gradual, the result looks natural.
What to expect
Your treatment begins with a consultation to assess your jaw, discuss your goals and review your medical history. The treatment itself is quick, and there is minimal downtime. As this is a prescription treatment, it is only ever carried out after a proper consultation by a qualified, medically-led practitioner.
Results
Relief from grinding and clenching is often noticed within a couple of weeks. Jaw-slimming results build more gradually over the following weeks and months, and treatment can be repeated to maintain the effect.
Price
Jaw slimming and teeth-grinding (bruxism) treatment is £200 at Skin Complete. Your plan is confirmed at your free consultation.
Frequently asked questions
Will it help my headaches? Many clients who grind or clench find their jaw tension and related headaches ease after treatment, though results vary from person to person.
How long until my jaw looks slimmer? Slimming builds gradually over several weeks as the muscle relaxes, often over a course of treatments.
