Jawline Slimming (Masseter treatment)

Do you feel like you have a square ◻️ jawline? Do you grind your teeth when sleeping? Are you a clencher? Does your face actually hurt when you wake up in the morning?

If so, then this may be something you’ll benefit from…

The masseter muscle is a strong muscle located above the jawbone in the cheek. It is one of the “chewing muscles” so it gets a big workout naturally, but even more so if you are a habitual gum chewer or teeth clencher. Just like any muscle, when it works overtime, it starts to hypertrophy (think biceps after doing lots of curls). An enlarged masseter can contribute to a harsh, square look at the angle of the jaw and can give a boxy look to the face. This treatment can be used to relax this muscle, and to soften the look of the lower face.

We can relax the masseter muscle to stop teeth grinding (bruxism), which will make your teeth happy also. And by causing the muscle to reduce in size (muscle atrophy), we will be creating a slimmer and more ‘V’ shaped jawline.

This famous beauty is a prime example of how Masseter treatment can slim the shape into a “V,” bringing a subtle, more feminine look to the shape of the face.
