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 reduce jaw tension, alleviate discomfort caused by teeth grinding (bruxism), and contour the jawline for a more balanced facial profile.

What is Botulinum Toxin Therapy for the Jaw?

Botulinum Toxin Therapy involves injecting small amounts of purified botulinum toxin into the masseter muscles. This helps relax the large and powerful jaw muscles, which can become overdeveloped due to teeth grinding, jaw clenching, or other repetitive habits. In addition to its functional benefits, this treatment can also help contour and slim the jawline for a more refined facial appearance. The benefits of this procedure go beyond aesthetics, offering relief for:

  • Teeth Grinding (Bruxism): Reduces involuntary grinding or clenching, helping to prevent dental wear and tear.
  • Jaw Tension and Pain: Alleviates tension and discomfort in the jaw area, easing symptoms such as headaches.

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.
