How Does It Work

Masseter Injections in Melbourne

The masseters are muscles around the jawline and if overactive, can create a wide jaw. As a result this gives the appearance of a square shaped lower face. Our non surgical jaw reduction procedure uses masseter injections to provide a quick, painless solution. The overall result is a slimmer lower face.

In addition to giving a square appearing jawline, overactivity of the masseters can cause teeth grinding. Masseter injections relaxes these muscles. As such, we often use this procedure to help clients suffering from teeth grinding. the corner part of the muscle, hence improve teeth grinding.

Jaw slimming injections are an in-clinic procedure that takes less than 30 minutes.

As with any muscle relaxing injections, there is a risk of tenderness, redness, bruising or swelling immediately after injection. The bruising can take up to 10 days to clear, with makeup used as an interim measure. However, the other side effects tend to settle within two days.

More severe side effects can occur if the muscle relaxants migrate into the surrounding masseter muscle. In this instance, chewing can be affected. For this reason, you must not rub the area nor undertake any strenuous exercise for 4 hours after jaw injections.

I had micro needling done with dermal clinician Megan. She is very personable, professional and passionate about her work. She gave me a thorough briefing of the procedure and answered all of my questions during the consult. The treatment went very smoothly and I knew I was in safe hands. Looking forward to the results!

Mal was simply the most amazing and best consultation I've ever had here! She takes great care, eases you in the process as it is a bit scary, and very professional. The treatment has worked really well for me so far. I have an Indian dusky skin tone and had many queries and doubts going in. However, all my doubts were clearly answered and I would highly recommend the clinic to anyone looking for laser treatments! The place is very clean, organised, has great ambience and offers great services!
