Relaxing the strong muscles at the sides of the jaw to soften a square or wider-looking lower face.
Masseter treatment works by relaxing the muscles at the sides of the jaw, helping to soften a square or wider-looking lower face and create a slimmer, more contoured jawline. The effect is gradual as the muscle reduces in bulk rather than immediate.
People book it for two quite different reasons: the shape of the lower face, and clenching or grinding. Both are worth mentioning at consultation, because it changes where and how much we treat. If you grind at night, tell us — it is common and it affects the plan.
A full consultation is required before treatment so our prescriber can review your medical forms. You must be 18 or over.
Welcoming clients from Lichfield, Sutton Coldfield, Four Oaks, Mere Green and Little Aston.
Required before treatment. Tell us whether your concern is shape, clenching, or both — it changes the plan.
A 30-minute appointment. Injections into the masseter muscle on each side.
Gradual, as the muscle reduces in bulk over the following weeks rather than immediately.
Written by our practitioners. Your consultation covers all of this in person, and you’ll leave with it in writing.
Before Your Anti-Wrinkle Treatment
To help you prepare for your appointment:
Avoid alcohol for 24 hours before treatment where possible to help reduce bruising.
Avoid strenuous exercise immediately before your appointment.
Arrive with clean skin and minimal makeup where possible.
Let us know about all medications, supplements, allergies and medical conditions on your medical form.
Please tell us if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, unwell, taking antibiotics or have an infection/skin irritation around the treatment area.
Tell your practitioner about any recent injectable or facial treatments.
A full consultation and medical assessment will be completed before treatment to ensure it is appropriate for you.
Anti-Wrinkle Treatment Aftercare
Avoid rubbing, pressing or massaging the treated areas for 24 hours.
Avoid strenuous exercise, excessive heat, saunas and steam rooms for 24 hours.
Avoid alcohol for 24 hours where possible.
Keep the treated area clean and avoid applying makeup for several hours where possible.
Mild redness, swelling, tenderness or bruising can occur and usually settles quickly.
Results develop gradually, with the full effect typically assessed at around 2 weeks.
Contact us if you experience any unexpected or concerning symptoms.
Always follow the individual aftercare advice provided by your practitioner.

Not immediately. The change is gradual over the following weeks as the muscle reduces in bulk.
It is one of the two main reasons people book it. Tell us at consultation if you clench or grind, because it changes where and how much we treat.
That is something we assess at consultation. If we have concerns about your bite or jaw function we will say so before treating.
