Masseter reduction
Reduce teeth grinding, jaw pain, prevent dental issues and slim jawline to create a V-shape face.


Find relief from teeth grinding with masseter reduction
Under-eye concerns stem from two main factors: hollowness, pigmentation, or a combination of both. These issues may arise due to genetics, the natural ageing process, or stress.
Hollowness is effectively treated with under-eye fillers, designed to smooth and plump the sunken area for a rejuvenated look.
How does it work?
Your appointment starts with a detailed consultation and assessment of the masseter muscles to determine suitability for treatment. A precise dose of Botox is injected into the masseter muscles on both sides of the face.
Within a week, the muscle-relaxing effects take effect, significantly reducing bruxism and tension headaches. Around four weeks post-treatment, the muscle begins to shrink (atrophy), leading to a more sculpted jawline and enhanced facial contouring.
From a cosmetic perspective, Masseter Botox is an effective treatment for jaw slimming, helping to create a more contoured and feminine facial appearance.
To achieve a more feminine facial appearance, the ideal proportion is for the cheeks to be wider than the jawline. This is especially beneficial for women with hypertrophied (enlarged) masseter muscles. By slimming the jawline, we enhance cheek prominence, creating a softer, more feminine facial contour.
