Masseter Botox in London for Jaw Slimming & Teeth Grinding Relief (Bruxism)
Provides relief from TMJ symptoms, reduce clenching, and helps in creating a slimmer, more feminine jawline.
Suffering from tight jaw muscles, jaw pain, or teeth grinding? Our Masseter Botox treatments in West Hampstead London provide relief from TMJ symptoms, reduce clenching, and help create a slimmer, more feminine jawline.
This simple procedure involves injecting Botulinum Type A (Botox) into the masseter muscles, which control chewing. Overuse from habits like bruxism (teeth grinding) leads to hypertrophic growth, resulting in a square jawline and pain.
What is Masseter Botox?
Masseter Botox is a non-surgical procedure that entails the injection of Botulinum Type A (Botox) into the masseter muscles, which are situated on either side of the mandible. The chewing and mandible movement are the responsibilities of these muscles.
Botox can be used to relax and reduce the size of these muscles when they become overactive or hypertrophied, which is frequently the result of behaviours such as excessive jaw clenching or teeth grinding (bruxism). This treatment offers both functional and aesthetic benefits.
Why Choose Masseter Botox?
- Aesthetic benefits: Slim and more defined jawline.
- Functional relief: Reduce jaw pain, teeth grinding, and TMJ symptoms.
- Effective for both: Those with naturally strong jaw muscles or those suffering from bruxism.
Did you know? Around 70% of teeth grinding and jaw clenching occurs during sleep, but it can also happen during the day when stressed or concentrating. Botox targets overdeveloped masseter muscles, offering both comfort and cosmetic benefits.

How Does Masseter Botox Work?
Botox works by blocking the signals that stimulate the masseter muscles, temporarily relaxing them. This reduces the size of the muscles, which can alleviate symptoms of bruxism (such as jaw pain and headaches), and also create a more defined and slimmer jawline.
The result is smoother, more balanced facial contours, particularly for those with a square or overly prominent jawline.
Teeth Grinding Relief with Botox
If you’re suffering from teeth grinding (bruxism) or jaw clenching, Botox can offer effective relief. Traditional treatments like anti-bruxism devices and medications may not provide lasting results, but Botulinum Type A (Botox) has emerged as a proven solution.
By targeting the masseter muscles responsible for excessive muscle activity, Botox helps reduce teeth grinding, jaw clenching, and related discomfort.
How Botox Provides Teeth Grinding Relief?
Botox relaxes the masseter muscles, which are too tight and make you grind your teeth and clench your jaw. When these muscles become overdeveloped, they can cause discomfort and the appearance of a wider jaw.
Botox injections can help alleviate pain, reduce clenching, and relieve the tension caused by bruxism. This treatment is not only effective but also offers long-lasting results, providing significant relief from the symptoms of teeth grinding.
Jawline Slimming with Botox
In addition to its ability to treat teeth grinding, Botox is also a popular treatment for jawline slimming. For individuals who have a more squared jawline due to overdeveloped masseter muscles, Botox can provide an aesthetically pleasing solution.
How Botox Shapes the Jawline?
Botox injections into the masseter muscles can help reduce their size, leading to a slimmer, more defined jawline. This results in a softer, more feminine face shape. Botox for jawline slimming enhances other facial features like the chin and cheekbones, giving the face an overall more contoured and balanced appearance.
This non-surgical treatment is perfect for those looking to improve the contour of their jaw without the need for invasive procedures.
You can have even more dramatic effects by combining chin sculpting with dermal fillers and Botox for jawline slimming. This combination treatment enhances the jaw angle and chin projection, leading to a more defined and harmonious facial profile.
Dermal fillers add volume to the chin area, further accentuating the contour of the jaw and improving overall facial symmetry.
Masseter Botox Side Effects & Safety
Is Masseter Botox Safe?
Yes, Masseter Botox is a safe and effective treatment for jawline slimming, teeth grinding, and jaw clenching when performed by a trained medical professional.
The procedure works by relaxing the overactive masseter muscles, which over time helps to slim the lower face and relieve muscle tension caused by clenching or grinding.
Botox is MHRA-approved in the UK and is widely used for both cosmetic and medical treatments, ensuring its reliability and safety.
Possible Side Effects
Side effects are typically mild and temporary, such as slight bruising or mild jaw fatigue, but these generally resolve within a few days after treatment. Serious side effects are rare, especially when the treatment is administered by an experienced professional.
At Hampstead Aesthetics, your treatment will be administered by a fully qualified aesthetic doctor who uses only clinically approved Botox products. You can feel confident that you are receiving safe and high-quality care.
Benefits of Masseter Botox
- Improved Facial Symmetry: By relaxing the masseter muscles, Botox can help create a more balanced, harmonious facial structure. This is especially beneficial for those who feel their jaw muscles are too pronounced or asymmetrical.
- Non-Surgical Solution: Masseter Botox is a non-invasive procedure that doesn’t require any downtime, unlike surgical treatments for jaw reduction. It’s a quick procedure with minimal side effects, offering a safe alternative to invasive surgeries.
- Prevention of Teeth Damage: For individuals suffering from bruxism, Masseter Botox can help prevent further damage to teeth caused by constant grinding. By relaxing the masseter muscles, the pressure on the teeth is significantly reduced.
- Long-Lasting Results: Although Botox is not permanent, the effects typically last between 3 to 6 months, providing long-term relief and aesthetic improvement with a relatively low maintenance commitment.
- Reduction in Jaw Tension and Headaches: Masseter Botox can alleviate the chronic jaw tension often associated with headaches and migraines linked to bruxism and TMJ. This leads to fewer tension-related headaches and a greater sense of comfort.
Enhanced Confidence: Whether you’re seeking relief from bruxism or a more defined jawline, the results of Masseter Botox can lead to improved self-esteem and confidence, giving you a more youthful and harmonious appearance.
