Jaw Slimming Treatment

Masseter Treatment for Jaw Clenching and Facial Slimming

Frequently jaw clenching or teeth grinding can cause masseter muscle to enlarge, leading to a broader lower face and facial tension. Masseter treatment uses carefully placed botulinum toxin injections to relax this muscle. Over time, this reduces muscle bulk and can create a slimmer, softer jawline while also relieving symptoms of bruxism.

At the Novo Clinic in Chelmsford, treatment is delivered following a personalised medical consultation.
