Jawline Slimming / Teeth Grinding
Botox treatments to the jaw muscles (masseters) are used to reduce the nerve supply to the muscle and make them less active. This treatment is available in my Altrincham Clinic, Cheshire and treats teeth grinding, jaw clenching (bruxism) and associated migraines.
The masseter muscle is one of the 4 muscles responsible for chewing. Interestingly, this muscle is the strongest muscle in the body relative to its size, allowing really high forces to produce a powerful bite!

What conditions can Jawline Slimming / Teeth Grinding TREAT?
Facial Slimming
At Dr. Ed Robinson Aesthetics in Altrincham, we specialise in non-surgical facial slimming treatments. These modern techniques offer a minimally invasive alternative to traditional procedures, providing a more defined and slimmer facial appearance.
Teeth Grinding
Teeth grinding, also known as bruxism, is a common condition often caused by stress or overactivity of the jaw muscles. It can lead to symptoms such as jaw pain, headaches, facial tension, and worn or damaged teeth. Treatment using small amounts of Botox injected into the masseter muscles helps to relax these overactive muscles, reducing clenching and grinding while still allowing normal movement and function.
