The masseter muscles are located on either side of the jaw and play a key role in chewing and jaw movement. In some individuals, these muscles become enlarged over time due to teeth grinding (bruxism), jaw clenching, or simply genetic strength. While strong jaw muscles are normal, overdevelopment can lead to a square or bulky jawline and may also cause discomfort, tension headaches, or worn teeth. At Derma Revive Skin Clinic, we offer expertly administered anti-wrinkle injections for masseter muscle treatment. This treatment is ideal for both aesthetic and medical purposes — slimming the jawline for a more V-shaped appearance, and reducing clenching and grinding for improved comfort and oral health.
Masseter muscle treatment involves the precise injection of anti-wrinkle product into the masseter muscles to reduce their size and activity. By limiting the muscle’s strength gradually over time, the face becomes softer and more tapered — especially noticeable in those with a naturally wider or square-shaped jaw.
The same technique can also help manage bruxism — the involuntary grinding or clenching of teeth, especially during sleep. Clients who experience jaw pain, tension headaches, or tooth damage often find substantial relief with this treatment, as the reduced muscle tension alleviates the pressure being placed on the jaw.
This dual-purpose treatment offers both aesthetic and functional advantages:
Jawline Slimming: Softens the lower face and creates a more contoured, V-shaped appearance.
Bruxism Relief: Reduces grinding, clenching, and associated jaw pain or headaches.
Non-Surgical Solution: Achieve facial contouring or jaw relief without surgery or downtime.
Improves Facial Balance: Harmonises the lower face, especially when paired with other treatments.
Customisable Outcome: Suitable for subtle contouring or more dramatic slimming based on your goals.
Quick and Convenient: The procedure takes minutes, with results developing gradually and naturally.
Whether your concern is appearance, comfort, or both, this treatment offers a refined, medically-led approach to lower face care.
Masseter treatment doesn’t change the structure of your face overnight. Instead, results develop slowly as the muscle relaxes and reduces in size. Most clients begin to see visible slimming and feel relief from clenching within a few weeks.
This gradual change is part of what makes the treatment so appealing — it’s discreet, controlled, and adjustable. With continued use, both aesthetic and therapeutic benefits often improve further, offering lasting comfort and refinement without disrupting your lifestyle.
Results from masseter treatment typically last between 4 and 6 months. Some clients, particularly those having treatment for the first time, may notice their results begin to wear off slightly sooner. However, with regular maintenance, the effects often last longer over time.
For bruxism relief, many clients report noticeable improvement in grinding and discomfort within 2 to 4 weeks after treatment, with reduced symptoms lasting several months. Maintenance treatments two to three times per year can help preserve both cosmetic and therapeutic results.
Masseter treatment involves injecting a small amount of anti-wrinkle product into the masseter muscles, located at the sides of the jaw. The goal is to relax the muscle, which helps reduce jaw tension and gradually slim the lower face. It’s commonly used for both jawline contouring and managing teeth grinding or clenching (bruxism).
Yes, relaxing the masseter muscle can create a noticeably slimmer jawline over time. As the muscle becomes less active, it gradually reduces in size, leading to a more tapered and contoured appearance — especially effective for those with a naturally square or broad jaw.
Masseter muscles can be released through targeted anti-wrinkle injections that reduce their overactivity. This helps relieve tension and reduce size over time. Additionally, some clients benefit from massage therapy, jaw exercises, or wearing a night guard if bruxism is a contributing factor.
Common signs include jaw pain or tightness, difficulty opening the mouth fully, frequent clenching, clicking or locking of the jaw, and headaches — especially around the temples or ears. In many cases, a visibly square jawline may also be a sign of overactive masseter muscles.
Treating a tight masseter depends on the cause. For muscular overactivity, anti-wrinkle injections offer fast and effective relief by relaxing the muscle. Complementary approaches may include stress reduction, physiotherapy, or bite guards to prevent clenching during sleep. At Derma Revive Skin Clinic, we tailor the treatment to both aesthetic and therapeutic needs.
