Masseter Treatment

Treatment Overview

Achieve a slimmer facial profile and relieve jaw tension with Masseter Injectable Treatment, a non-surgical procedure that uses anti-wrinkle injections to reduce the activity of the masseter muscles.

The masseter muscles are located at the angle of the jaw and are responsible for chewing. In some individuals, these muscles become enlarged due to genetics, teeth grinding (bruxism), or frequent jaw clenching, creating a wider or more square-shaped lower face. Overactive masseter muscles can also contribute to jaw discomfort, tension headaches, and symptoms associated with teeth grinding.

By carefully injecting anti-wrinkle medication into the masseter muscles, the muscles gradually relax and reduce in size over time. This can create a softer, more V-shaped facial contour while also helping to alleviate jaw tension and grinding-related symptoms.
