TMJ / Masseter
Jaw tension, clenching, and a bulkier jawline are common concerns that can affect both comfort and confidence. Whether linked to teeth grinding, stress, headaches, or muscle overuse, these symptoms can impact daily life. Treatments, including anti-wrinkle injections, are designed to ease tension in the jaw muscles, offering relief alongside a softer, more balanced facial profile.
Concerns TMJ treatment can help with:
- Jaw clenching or teeth grinding (bruxism)
- Tension or tightness in the jaw
- A square, bulky, or asymmetrical jawline
- Headaches related to jaw tension
- Discomfort when eating, yawning, or speaking
As this treatment affects a functional muscle group rather than a purely cosmetic concern, it’s important to take particular care during consultation. Gabriella will assess your individual anatomy and muscle activity, discuss expected outcomes, and outline potential risks before any treatment begins. Comfort, safety, and a natural, balanced result are always a priority.
Based in St Kilda, we welcome clients from across Bayside, South Yarra, Windsor, Albert Park, and greater Melbourne.
*Consultation is required prior to any medical treatments. Please book online or contact the clinic directly to schedule a complimentary consultation to discuss treatment options.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if I need this treatment?
Common signs include jaw clenching or grinding (especially overnight), jaw soreness or tension, headaches concentrated around the temples or jaw, and a fuller or more square jawline caused by muscle overuse. A consultation and assessment will help determine whether this treatment is right for you.
How long do results last?
Results generally last 3 to 6 months, though this varies depending on individual muscle mass and activity. We’ll talk through what to expect for your specific situation during your consultation.
Will it change the shape of my jaw?
For clients with muscle overuse from clenching or grinding, treatment can lead to a gradual, subtle slimming of the jawline as tension eases over time, alongside relief from associated symptoms. However, not all individuals notice a change to their facial shape.
Does it help with jaw-related headaches?
Many clients experience relief from tension headaches linked to jaw clenching, though individual results vary and are best discussed during your consultation.
Is there a risk of my jaw looking uneven or different than expected?
As with any treatment affecting facial muscles, results depend on accurate assessment, precise technique, and dosing tailored to your individual anatomy. This is exactly why a thorough consultation and assessment comes before any treatment decision. It is important to minimise risk and set realistic expectations from the outset.
Does it hurt, and is there downtime?
Most clients describe a quick pinch, similar to other injectable treatments. There’s minimal downtime, and most people return to normal activities the same day.
