During your consultation we assess your facial anatomy, discuss aesthetic goals, and evaluate any associated symptoms, such as teeth grinding / jaw clenching. Our expert practitioners provide a personalised treatment plan, explaining the procedure, expected outcomes, and addressing any queries. It’s a comprehensive session ensuring a tailored approach for optimal results and patient satisfaction.
A consultation and written consent are required before going ahead with treatment. The treatment itself involves injecting neurotoxins directly into the masseter muscles to reduce their overuse (muscles located on either side of the jaw, responsible for the chewing action – mastication). Administered by our skilled practitioners, this minimally invasive procedure is quick, precise and performed in-clinic, offering both cosmetic refinement and relief from jaw-related symptoms like teeth grinding. The finest needles available on the market are used to ensure your comfort throughout the procedure.
Following masseter muscle reduction at Takroni Clinic, we advise gentle jaw movements for a few hours post-treatment. Avoiding strenuous chewing and massaging the treated area is also recommended for optimal results. Results can vary with some patients achieving their desired outcome with a single treatment and other may require 3 rounds of treatment at 4-month intervals for best results. The treatment can be repeated at 3-6 months to maintain result. Our expert team is always on hand to address any queries throughout the recovery process, however, it’s likely that you’ll be able to return to your usual daily routine immediately with no downtime.
Masseter muscle reduction works by temporarily relaxing these muscles, which reduces its overuse, leading to a slimmer jawline. Following the treatment, you can expect a gradual slimming of the jawline to develop becoming noticeable at around the 6–8-week mark. Results are long-lasting, typically persisting for 4-6 months. Optimal outcomes include a more refined facial contour and alleviation of jaw-related issues. Maintenance is required to extend and enhance the duration of the effects.
