DISCLAIMER
The information on this page is general and educational in nature. Treatment suitability can only be determined following a consultation with Nurse Renee. Individual results vary, and all procedures carry risks that will be discussed prior to treatment.
About This Treatment
Jaw Slimming & Masseter Treatment is designed to target the masseter muscles, which are responsible for chewing and jaw movement. These muscles can become enlarged over time due to habits such as teeth grinding, jaw clenching, and repetitive muscle activity.
Treatment is tailored to your individual anatomy, concerns, and treatment goals. For suitable candidates, treatment may assist in reducing excessive muscle activity and creating a softer, more balanced lower face appearance over time.
Results develop gradually and vary between individuals. During your consultation, Nurse Renee will discuss what you can expect, including treatment timelines, longevity, and any recommended follow-up appointments
Concerns We May Discuss
Jaw Clenching
Some individuals experience excessive tension or activity through the jaw muscles, particularly during times of stress.
Teeth Grinding
Habitual grinding, particularly during sleep, can contribute to increased jaw muscle activity and discomfort.
Lower Face Shape
The size and activity of the masseter muscles may influence the appearance and proportions of the lower face.
Facial Balance
Some clients seek advice regarding overall facial proportions and lower-face contour.
