If you’re experiencing discomfort from jaw tension or clenching, a personalised approach to care may help ease symptoms and improve comfort. Some treatments aim to relax overactive facial muscles, which can assist in reducing tightness and may also enhance the appearance of facial contours over time. These options are often considered as part of a broader wellness or aesthetic plan. As results can vary, it’s important to speak with a qualified professional to explore the most suitable path forward for your individual needs.
Treatment Overview
Over time masseter reduction, may contribute to better jaw function, improved facial symmetry, and a more relaxed appearance. Whether you’re seeking to ease the discomfort of TMJ symptoms or enhance your facial contours, a well-rounded treatment strategy can help you achieve both comfort and confidence in your appearance.

Medication and Health Considerations:
To reduce the risk of bruising, it is recommended to avoid blood-thinning medications (e.g., aspirin, ibuprofen, fish oil) for at least one week before your appointment. It is also important to inform your healthcare provider if you have any autoimmune disorders, are on anti-coagulation therapy (e.g., Warfarin), or have a severe metabolic or systemic disorder.
Registration and Consent:
You will be sent a registration and consent form via text message. Please complete these forms before your appointment to streamline the process upon arrival.
Makeup-Free Arrival:
For optimal results, we recommend arriving makeup-free. If makeup is present in the treatment areas, it will need to be removed prior to the procedure.
Consultation:
Your appointment will begin with a comprehensive consultation. This will involve a detailed discussion about your concerns and expectations. A prescribing doctor will review your suitability for the treatment.
Personalised Treatment Plan:
Based on your consultation, a customised treatment plan will be created to help achieve your desired outcome. Your goals and preferences will be carefully considered to ensure the best possible result.
Appointment Duration:
The appointment will generally take between 15 and 30 minutes, with the treatment portion lasting around 5 to 10 minutes.
Treatment Process:
The procedure involves the topical application of a prescribed product to the targeted muscle area. This treatment is needle-free, and the process is quick and generally well-tolerated. A fine spray is applied to the nasal passages to alleviate symptoms. There is no anaesthetic required for the procedure.
Pain Relief:
Pain relief is typically not necessary, though ice may be applied to the treatment area if any discomfort occurs. Most individuals report minimal discomfort during and after the procedure.
Risks and Side Effects:
Common side effects include mild redness, swelling, or bruising at the treatment site, typically resolving within a few days. Rarely, the smile may be temporarily affected, and allergic reactions can occur. Discuss all potential risks with your healthcare professional during the consultation.
After your treatment, following these simple guidelines will help ensure optimal results:
Apply Ice/Cool Compress:
If any swelling or discomfort occurs, apply a cool compress or ice pack gently to the treated area.
Avoid Makeup:
Refrain from applying makeup to the treated area for at least 4 hours to allow the skin to recover and reduce the risk of irritation.
Avoid Certain Activities:
Refrain from lying down or engaging in strenuous exercise for 24 hours after the procedure to prevent any adverse effects on the treated area.
Delay Facial Treatments:
It’s advisable to postpone any facial treatments, including laser procedures or chemical peels, for at least 2 weeks to avoid irritation and complications.
Avoid Touching Your Face:
Avoid touching or applying pressure to the treated area to prevent any displacement of the product.
