Masseter Botox available in all areas

Masseter Botox is one of the most popular anti-aging treatments in London & around the world. It works by safely injecting a very diluted form of the Botulinum toxin, which binds to muscle nerve endings and causes them to freeze up, softening lines and wrinkles, and preventing their formation. It is a popular treatment for crows feet, frown lines and forehead wrinkles, and it is now being used in the masseter muscles to reduce jaw clenching (bruxism) and alleviate associated headaches, jaw pain and teeth problems.

The masseter muscle on both sides of your face is responsible for chewing and biting, which is why it can get overworked when you clench your teeth or grind them at night, also known as bruxism. Bruxism can lead to a wide range of health and cosmetic issues, including headaches, jaw pain, worn teeth and a square-looking face. Botox can be used to relax the masseter muscles and reduce symptoms of bruxism, as well as slimming the lower portion of your face and giving it more of a ‘V’ shape.

It takes about a week for the injections to start taking effect, at which point you should notice some softening of your Masseter Botox London when you clench your teeth or bite down. Then, over the next 4 weeks the muscle will continue to lose its strength and gradually shrink, resulting in a slimmer, softer angle of your jawline. Botox is a highly safe and quick procedure, with the majority of patients experiencing minimal stinging or pressure from the needle. The entire process is performed in a hygienic clinic, with a local anaesthetic spray or cream applied beforehand for added comfort.

Is Masseter Botox available in all areas of London?

Injections into the masseter muscle are not a permanent treatment, as your body will re-innervate the muscles by growing new nerves over time. However, if you are looking for a long-term solution, surgery can also be considered to permanently change the shape of your jawline, although this is more costly and requires a longer recovery period.

In London, where trends in beauty and aesthetics hold considerable sway, Masseter Botox has gained significant traction among individuals seeking facial harmony and symmetry. The procedure is typically administered by licensed medical professionals, including dermatologists and cosmetic surgeons, who possess expertise in facial anatomy and injection techniques.

One of the primary reasons individuals opt for Masseter Botox in London is to achieve facial balance and proportion. A square or overly prominent jawline can create a masculine or harsh appearance, particularly in women. By injecting Botox into the masseter muscles, the muscle activity decreases, leading to a reduction in muscle bulk over time. This results in a softer, more feminine jawline that complements other facial features.

It is important to choose a qualified practitioner to administer your botox, to ensure you achieve the best results possible. At our clinic, we have a highly experienced and registered nurse-practitioner who has been trained to correctly target the delicate masseter muscles of your face. They will take the time to discuss your needs and concerns with you, and draw anatomical keypoints on your face before starting the procedure. The injections are very quick and virtually pain-free, with a small needle being used. We offer free consultations and top-up sessions after 3 months completely free of charge to optimise your results.
