Why your jaw is overworking

Stress, habit and bite alignment can keep the masseter switched on—leading to night-time grinding, morning headaches and a heavier jawline.

The role of anti-wrinkle injections

Small, targeted doses relax the masseter so it can’t clench as powerfully. Over weeks, the muscle de-bulks:

• Comfort: Less jaw tension; fewer clench-triggered headaches.

• Protection: Less wear on teeth when paired with a dental splint.

• Aesthetics: A subtler, more tapered jawline.

What to expect

• Treatment time: 15–20 minutes

• Onset: 3–7 days for comfort; visible contour change by 4–8 weeks

• Longevity: ~3–6 months; often extends with regular maintenance

• Downtime: Minimal

Will it affect chewing?

Normal eating is fine. You might skip very tough foods for a day or two.

Best results are holistic

Combine injections with:

• Night guard from your dentist

• Desk/posture tweaks and hydration

• Stress & sleep strategies

Is it right for me?

Ideal if you have clenching, tension-type headaches and a bulky lower face from muscle overactivity. We’ll assess muscle strength, symmetry and bite history first.
