Want less jaw tension or a slimmer jawline?
What contributes to it?
Clenching and grinding can overwork the masseter muscle. Repeated contraction can cause tightness, headaches, and a bulkier jawline, and can aggravate TMJ discomfort too.
Why do people treat it?
Some want relief from bruxism and TMJ symptoms like clicking or pain. Others want a softer, slimmer lower face when the masseter muscle is prominent.
How It Works
Assessment
We assess your jaw movement and goals, then map injection points for symptom relief and jawline slimming.
Muscle Relaxation
We place small injections into the masseter muscle to reduce overactivity and soften clenching strength.
Relief and contour
As the muscle relaxes, jaw tension can ease and the jawline can look slimmer over time.

FAQ's
What is the masseter muscle, and why does it matter for jaw tension?
The masseter is a chewing muscle along the side of your jaw. When it is overactive, it can contribute to clenching, jaw tightness, headaches, and a wider looking lower face.
What is TMJ, and what are common TMJ symptoms?
TMJ refers to the temporomandibular joint, the joint that connects your jaw to your skull. Common TMJ symptoms include jaw tension or pain, clicking, headaches, and teeth grinding.
Can masseter treatment help with TMJ disorder symptoms?
Some clients find it helps reduce clenching strength and jaw tension, which can ease TMJ symptoms like pain, tightness, clicking, and headaches.
Is this a bruxism treatment for teeth grinding?
Bruxism means clenching or grinding your teeth. Masseter treatment can help reduce the strength of clenching and grinding, which can also help protect your teeth.
Will this make my face look slimmer?
If your masseter muscle is enlarged from clenching, relaxing it can reduce a wide or boxy look and create a softer jawline over time.
What happens during masseter treatment?
Your injector assesses your jaw movement and masseter muscle size, then places small injections into the muscle. The aim is to relax overactivity and reduce tension.
Does it hurt?
Most clients describe minimal discomfort.
Is there downtime, and what aftercare do I need?
There is usually minimal to no downtime. Avoid vigorous jaw movements, like chewing gum, for a few hours. Avoid heavy exercise for 24 hours.
When will I see results, and how long do they last?
Many clients notice reduced tension within the first week. Jawline slimming can take 2 to 4 weeks. Results typically last 3 to 6 months.
How much does masseter treatment cost in Melbourne?
