Jawline Contouring & Masseter Reduction at Celluderm Skin Aesthetics
At Celluderm Skin Aesthetics, we understand that jaw squareness can impact both appearance and comfort. A square jaw is often associated with a more masculine look, which many clients, especially those of Asian background, seek to change for a more feminine, softer contour. A common cause of this squareness is the bulkiness of the masseter muscle located at the corners of the jaw.
We offer non-invasive jawline slimming treatments that specifically target the masseter muscle to reduce its size, creating a more defined, sculpted jawline and offering a more balanced, youthful appearance.
Benefits of Masseter Reduction:
- Slimming and Contouring: Targeted masseter muscle reduction can soften the jawline, turning a square shape into a more feminine contour.
- Teeth Grinding Relief: For those suffering from bruxism (teeth grinding), relaxing the masseter muscle can provide effective relief from this painful condition.
- TMJ and Jaw Pain Relief: Patients with jaw pain near the ear due to TMJ stress can experience significant improvement after reducing masseter muscle activity.
This is a non-surgical treatment that can safely and quickly be performed as a lunch time procedure. The injections are not painful and are very effective in reducing the square appearance of the face and will also weaken the jaw muscle to control teeth grinding and improve jaw pain.
Teeth Grinding and Jaw Pain Solutions
For many clients, the bulkiness of the masseter muscle is not just an aesthetic concern; it can also lead to teeth grinding (bruxism) and TMJ pain. Teeth grinding often occurs as a result of overactive masseter muscles, causing discomfort and potential damage to the teeth. Additionally, stress on the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) can result in pain just in front of the ear.
At Celluderm Skin Aesthetics, we offer anti-wrinkle injections into the masseter muscle, which effectively reduces muscle activity, alleviates bruxism, and relieves TMJ pain, all while reshaping the jawline for a softer, more balanced appearance.
F A Q's
Masseter reduction is ideal for clients looking to slim their jawline, address bruxism, or alleviate jaw pain. It is especially effective for those with bulkier masseter muscles and those who experience jaw clenching or teeth grinding due to stress or muscle overactivity.
Yes, masseter reduction can help relieve jaw pain and discomfort in the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) caused by overactive jaw muscles. By relaxing the masseter, the pressure on the TMJ is reduced, leading to less pain and discomfort associated with teeth grinding and jaw clenching
Side effects are rare, but some clients may experience mild bruising, swelling, or tenderness at the injection site. These side effects usually subside within a few days. It’s important to follow your aftercare instructions to ensure the best results.
The results of masseter reduction typically last between 3 to 6 months, depending on the individual. After that, you may need a follow-up treatment to maintain the effects. Maintenance treatments can help provide long-term benefits and maintain a slim jawline.
You can typically see visible results within 2–3 weeks after the treatment. The final results are usually evident after about 1 month.
The treatment is minimally invasive and typically involves the use of anti-wrinkle injections into the masseter muscle. While you may experience a small amount of discomfort during the injection, it’s quick, and most clients find it tolerable. There is no downtime afterward, and the treatment itself usually takes just a few minutes.
Masseter reduction can alleviate the symptoms of teeth grinding or bruxism, which occurs when the masseter muscle is overactive. By relaxing the muscle, we reduce the force and frequency of grinding, which helps prevent tooth wear, jaw pain, and discomfort in the temporomandibular joint (TMJ).
