Jawline Slimming / Teeth Grinding (Masseter)
Jawline Slimming
A well-defined jawline is often associated with a youthful and attractive appearance. Jawline slimming is a non-surgical cosmetic procedure that can help enhance facial aesthetics by reducing the width of the lower face and creating a more balanced profile. It involves injecting a muscle-relaxing substance, such as Botulinum Toxin A , into the masseter muscles—the muscles responsible for chewing—to relax and shrink them. By doing so, the jawline appears slimmer and more contoured.
Teeth Grinding (Bruxism)
Bruxism is a condition characterized by the involuntary grinding, clenching, or gnashing of teeth, usually during sleep. It can lead to various issues such as tooth damage, jaw pain, headaches, and muscle soreness. While the exact cause of bruxism is not fully understood, it can be influenced by factors like stress, anxiety, an abnormal bite, or misaligned teeth.
Treatments for Bruxism and Jawline Slimming
Botulinum Toxin A has been found to be an effective treatment for bruxism, with the secondary desired effect of slimming the jawline. However, other brands of botulinum toxin type A that have the same outcome may also be used. By injecting botulinum toxin into the muscles responsible for teeth grinding, the treatment helps relax those muscles, reducing the intensity of grinding and clenching. This can alleviate the associated symptoms and protect teeth from further damage.
Treatment for bruxism/jaw slimming is minimally invasive and does not require anesthesia. The procedure is relatively quick, with results typically starting to become noticeable within a few days to a week. The effects last for several months, after which follow-up treatments may be necessary to maintain the results.![](<a href="https://ibb.co/zVYXRxT"><img src="https://i.ibb.co/Jj4v7tw/Whats-App-Image-2023-07-17-at-18-09-08.jpg" alt="Whats-App-Image-2023-07-17-at-18-09-08" border="0"></a>)

Frequently asked questions
What is the recovery process like after jawline slimming?
The recovery process for jawline slimming with Botox is typically minimal. Since the procedure is non-surgical, there is usually no downtime, and you can resume your regular activities immediately afterward. Some individuals may experience mild swelling or tenderness at the injection site, but these effects are temporary and generally resolve within a few days. It is advisable to avoid intense physical exercise or massages in the treated area for the first 24 hours to ensure optimal results.
Can masseter treatment completely cure bruxism?
While these treatments can effectively manage the symptoms of bruxism, they do not provide a permanent cure. Botulinum Toxin A helps relax the muscles involved in teeth grinding, reducing the intensity of grinding and clenching. This can alleviate associated symptoms and protect teeth from further damage. However, addressing the underlying causes of bruxism, such as stress, dental issues, or bite misalignment, may require additional treatment approaches.
Are there any potential side effects of treatments for bruxism?
Botulinum toxin treatments for bruxism are generally safe, but like any medical procedure, there can be potential side effects. The most common side effects are temporary and may include bruising, swelling, or redness at the injection sites.

What our patients say...
Shaan developed a personalised medical grade skincare routine for me to deal with my recently developed acne. It’s only been 3 days and I’ve already noticed a big difference using ZO products. I highly recommend Āatma Aesthetics for a seamless, professional and bespoke experience.

Dr. Shaan was super attentive and explained everything in detail. We will definitely be coming back and I already recommended to some family and friends!!
Great Service
Dr. Shaan at Āatma Aesthetics did a great job of my Profhilo. It’s important to get the Profhilo into the right depth in the skin or it’s just wasted. I can see the results already and my fine lines are reduced. Good to find a great Dr. who knows what he’s doing.
Profhilo

Lip Fillers
Dr Shaan didn’t rush and not only took his time to explain what and how certain results could be achieved but also strived to delivered a lip’s shape that it was just perfect. He is highly skilled and even treated an area on my lips that I wasn’t even aware it could be performed and it completely changed the general look of my lips.
Lip Fillers
Dr. Shaan Patel is a perfectionist. I had 4mls of filler to give me back my cheeks and to remove my Nasolabial folds. I also had the 2 treatments of Profhilo. Was very impressed with my cheeks and removal of nasalabial folds.
