Do you often find yourself clenching or grinding your teeth? This common condition, known as bruxism, can lead to more than just dental issues. At The Mediclinic, we understand the broader impact bruxism can have on your overall facial appearance and wellbeing, and we’re here to help with our specialised jawline slimming treatment.
Understanding Bruxism and Its Effects:
Bruxism involves the involuntary clenching or grinding of teeth, often during sleep. This repetitive action can cause the masseter muscle, which extends from the cheek to the lower jaw, to become enlarged. An overdeveloped masseter muscle can lead to several unwanted effects:
Facial Asymmetry: Uneven muscle development can distort the balance of your facial features.
Masculine Jawline: A bulky masseter can create a square, masculine jawline, which may not align with your aesthetic goals.
Discomfort: Chronic clenching can result in headaches, jaw pain, and other discomforts.
Our Jawline Slimming Solution
At The Mediclinic, we offer an effective solution to these issues with our botulinum toxin (Botox) injections. This treatment works by relaxing the masseter muscle, providing several benefits:
Relief from Discomfort: Reduced muscle activity can alleviate headaches and jaw pain associated with bruxism.
Slimmer Jawline: Relaxing the muscle decreases its bulk, transforming a square jawline into a softer, more feminine contour.
Facial Symmetry: Balancing the muscle’s size can help restore harmony to your facial features.
What to Expect During Treatment
One of the great advantages of this treatment is its simplicity and convenience. Here’s what you can expect:
Quick Procedure: The entire process typically takes around 15 minutes.
Minimal Pain: We use a very fine needle for the injections, so any discomfort is minimal and often compared to a pinprick.
No Downtime: You can return to your daily activities immediately after the treatment. Some redness might occur, but it generally subsides within an hour.
Side Effects and Aftercare
Botulinum toxin treatments are well-tolerated with minimal side effects. However, we ensure you are fully informed about what to expect:
Immediate Reactions: Temporary redness at the injection site is common but fades quickly.
Full Results: You’ll start noticing the effects within two weeks, with optimal results appearing as the muscle gradually relaxes.
Comprehensive Aftercare: Every patient receives an aftercare pack detailing what to expect post-treatment and how to care for the treated area.
