Doctor-Led Masseter Treatment in Moorgate
Are you experiencing teeth grinding, jaw tension, headaches, or feeling self-conscious about a wide or bulky jawline?
At AesthetiCare Clinic in Moorgate, in the City of London, masseter (jaw slimming) treatment is performed exclusively by Dr Khaula, a GMC-registered doctor. This treatment can help reduce jaw tension and grinding while creating a softer, more refined lower face.
This non-surgical injectable treatment addresses both medical concerns (bruxism and TMJ discomfort) and aesthetic goals.
What Is Masseter Treatment?
Masseter treatment involves precise placement of anti-wrinkle injections into the masseter muscles — the large chewing muscles located at the sides of the jaw.
When these muscles are overactive, they may cause:
• Teeth grinding (bruxism)
• Jaw tension and discomfort
• TMJ-related symptoms
• Headaches
• A wide or square jawline
By relaxing these muscles:
• Clenching and grinding may reduce
• Jaw tension can ease
• The lower face appears slimmer
• Facial proportions become more balanced
Who Is It Suitable For?
Medical Concerns
Bruxism (Teeth Grinding)
Chronic grinding can lead to muscle enlargement, tooth wear and jaw pain. Treatment may help reduce muscle activity and protect dental health.
TMJ Tension
If you experience clicking, stiffness or discomfort in the jaw joint, relaxing the masseter muscles may provide relief.
Cosmetic Goals
Overactive masseter muscles can create a square or bulky lower face. Relaxation can result in:
• A slimmer jawline
• Softer facial contours
• A more tapered lower face
Relief from grinding may begin within days, while visible slimming typically develops over 2–4 weeks.
