Jaw Slimming Botox, also used for Bruxism (teeth grinding) and TMJD relief, is an aesthetic and therapeutic treatment that targets the masseter muscle in the jaw. By precisely injecting botulinum toxin, the treatment aims to reduce the size of an enlarged masseter for a more refined jawline, and relax the muscle to alleviate involuntary teeth clenching and associated pain.

Botox works by temporarily blocking nerve signals to the masseter muscle. When this muscle's activity is reduced, it gradually decreases in size, leading to a slimmer jawline. For bruxism, relaxing the muscle reduces its ability to clench forcefully, thereby alleviating grinding and associated symptoms like headaches and jaw pain.

For bruxism relief, effects typically begin within a few days and last 3-4 months. For jawline slimming, the reduction in muscle size is gradual, becoming noticeable over 2-4 weeks, and the aesthetic results can last 4-6 months or even longer, as the muscle has been physically reduced. Maintenance treatments are recommended to sustain both benefits.

The procedure involves very fine needles and is generally well-tolerated. Most clients report only a minimal discomfort, often described as a tiny pinch or sting at the injection sites. A topical numbing cream can be applied beforehand to enhance comfort.
