At Lumen Skin Clinic, we offer a non-surgical treatment using carefully placed botulinum toxin injections to help relax the overactive masseter muscles responsible for jaw clenching. By reducing excessive muscle activity, this treatment can help ease tension, improve comfort, and reduce the pressure placed on the teeth and jaw joints.
The procedure is quick, minimally invasive, and involves a series of small injections into the jaw muscles. There is usually little to no downtime, meaning most patients can return to their normal daily activities shortly after treatment. Results develop gradually over the following days and weeks, with many patients experiencing noticeable relief from jaw tightness and associated discomfort.
In addition to improving symptoms, treatment may also help soften the appearance of an enlarged jawline caused by overactive masseter muscles. This can create a more balanced and refined facial shape while still maintaining natural facial movement and expression.
Before treatment, a consultation is carried out to assess your concerns, jaw muscle activity, and suitability for treatment. At Lumen Skin Clinic, our aim is to provide safe, personalised care focused on comfort, natural results, and long-term wellbeing.
