Botulinum Toxin Therapy for the Jaw

At Alaxis Aesthetics Clinic, we offer Botulinum Toxin Therapy for the jaw, an evidence-based treatment that relaxes the masseter muscles to enhance both aesthetics and functionality. This non-surgical procedure can contour the jawline, alleviate discomfort caused by teeth grinding (bruxism), and reduce jaw tension for a more balanced facial profile.

What is Botulinum Toxin Therapy for the Jaw?

Botulinum Toxin Therapy, commonly known as Botox, involves injecting small amounts of a purified botulinum toxin into the masseter muscles. This helps to relax the large and powerful jaw muscles, which can overdevelop due to teeth grinding, jaw clenching, or other habits. The benefits of this procedure extend beyond aesthetics, offering relief for:

  • Teeth Grinding (Bruxism): Helps reduce involuntary grinding or clenching, preventing dental wear and tear.
  • Jaw Tension and Pain: Relieves tension and discomfort in the jaw area, easing symptoms such as headaches.
  • Jaw Contouring: Softens the appearance of a square jawline.

Benefits of Botulinum Toxin Therapy for the Jaw

  • Non-Surgical Treatment: Achieve a more contoured jawline and alleviate jaw discomfort without invasive surgery.
  • Quick and Convenient: The procedure typically takes 15-30 minutes, with minimal downtime.
  • Lasting Results: Enjoy the benefits for three to six months, with regular maintenance treatments for prolonged effects.
  • Dual Purpose: Improves both appearance and functional issues, such as bruxism and jaw tension.
