Why Jawline Slimming / Bruxism
Conventional treatments can help bruxism sufferers successfully protect their teeth from damage at night, however, they do not address the source of the problem. Recently, a new procedure with the injectable neurotoxin Botulinum Type A, has proven to be an innovative treatment option for targeting and treating excessive muscle activity and spasticity.

The Consultation Process
Dr Nina talks us through everything you need to know about consultations in the clinic. From our comprehensive Patient Guide to our in-depth exploration of your history, consultations are all about establishing a trusted relationship and understanding your short and long-term goals.
The Benefits
- Botulinum toxin can soften the appearance of the jawline, leading to dramatic changes in face shape after regular treatment.
- A slimmer jawline also results in more prominent cheekbones and chin, which are especially important for women, who typically want high cheekbones and a clean jawline.
The Concerns
- Bruxism / habitual teeth-grinding
- Hypertrophic growth of jaw muscles (masseters) / square-looking face
The Results
- Depending on the treatment recommended, you could start to see the results within three weeks. Results typically lasts for three to four months. Sometimes a top up treatment is needed within 3 weeks from first treatment.
- The results generally improve significantly over the first year of treatment. Finally, as the muscles relax and atrophy over time, less botulinum will be needed and there will be with longer periods between treatments.
Downtime
Minimal downtime.
Jawline Slimming / Bruxism FAQ
Does jawline slimming work?
Yes, jawline slimming uses botulinum toxin injections to relax the masseter muscles. This reduces the size of the muscles, resulting in a slimmer and more contoured jawline.
Is jaw slimming permanent?
Jaw slimming is not permanent. The treatment’s effects typically last three to four months. Over time, repeat treatments may be needed to maintain the desired results.
How do you reduce the size of your masseter?
The size of the masseter muscle can be reduced with botulinum toxin injections. These injections relax the muscle, decreasing its size and leading to a slimmer jawline.
Why is my masseter muscle so big?
A large masseter muscle can be due to genetics, habitual teeth grinding (bruxism), or excessive chewing. Treatment options like botulinum toxin injections can help reduce muscle size and alleviate related issues.
