Jaw Tension & Slimming
Relax · Relieve · Refine
Defined by Paris — Refined by Seoul — Excellence on Harley Street
Clenching or grinding your teeth at night — often without realising it — can leave the jaw muscles overworked, leading to tension, headaches, and a wider, squarer jawline over time. A single, simple treatment can relieve the discomfort and soften the jawline together.
Bruxism — the involuntary grinding or clenching of teeth, often during sleep — causes the masseter muscles at the back of the jaw to become overworked, much like any muscle that's exercised every day. Over time, this can lead to the muscle bulking up, widening the lower face, as well as causing jaw pain, tension headaches, and wear on the teeth.
Treatment involves precise injections of botulinum toxin into the masseter muscles. This relaxes the muscle, relieving tension and pain, while gradually reducing muscle bulk — softening and narrowing the jawline for a more refined lower face.
What This Treatment Addresses
Jaw Tension & Pain
By relaxing the overworked masseter muscle, treatment can ease jaw tension, tightness, and discomfort — including pain on waking.
Headaches
Tension headaches associated with clenching and grinding often improve as the muscle relaxes.
Jawline Slimming
As the masseter muscle gradually reduces in size, the lower face appears softer and narrower — a more refined, V-shaped contour.
“This is one of those treatments that addresses two things at once — patients come to us for jaw pain and leave noticing their whole face shape has softened.” PHP Aesthetic-Wellness, 22 Harley Street
