Question 1

How does Masseter treatment work?

Accepted Answer

Masseter treatment works by carefully relaxing the masseter muscles in the jaw using targeted anti-wrinkle injections. By reducing excessive muscle activity, the treatment helps to soften jaw tension, decrease clenching and grinding, and gradually reduce muscle bulk over time. This allows the lower face to appear more balanced and refined while also improving comfort and function. The treatment is precisely administered to maintain natural movement and facial harmony, delivering subtle, effective results without compromising normal jaw function.

Question 2

How is the treatment carried out?

Accepted Answer

The treatment begins with a detailed consultation and assessment of your jaw structure, muscle activity, and any symptoms such as clenching or tension. Once your personalised treatment plan has been agreed, the skin is gently cleansed and small, precise injections are administered into the masseter muscles on each side of the jaw using a fine needle. The procedure is quick, typically taking around 15 to 30 minutes, with minimal discomfort. After treatment, you will be provided with clear aftercare guidance and can usually return to your normal daily activities shortly afterwards.

Question 3

Are there any side effects to Masseter treatment?

Accepted Answer

Some mild and temporary side effects may occur, including slight swelling, tenderness, redness, or small bruises at the injection sites. These effects usually settle within a few hours to a couple of days. In rare cases, patients may experience temporary jaw fatigue or a mild change in chewing sensation as the muscles adjust to the treatment. During your consultation at Skyn Doctor, your clinician will discuss any potential risks in detail and ensure the treatment is suitable for you, prioritising safety, comfort, and optimal results.

Question 4

Is Masseter treatment painful?

Accepted Answer

Masseter treatment is generally well tolerated, with most patients describing the sensation as a brief, mild pinch or pressure rather than pain. The injections are performed using very fine needles and are administered quickly to minimise discomfort. Some patients may experience slight tenderness in the jaw area afterwards, but this typically settles quickly. The procedure does not usually require anaesthetic and is designed to be as comfortable and efficient as possible while delivering precise, effective results.

Question 5

How long before I see results?

Accepted Answer

Results from Masseter treatment typically begin to develop within 7 to 14 days, with the full effect becoming more noticeable after around 3 to 4 weeks as the muscles gradually relax and reduce in activity. Improvements in jaw tension and clenching may be felt earlier, while visible facial contouring and slimming effects develop more gradually. Individual results can vary depending on muscle strength and metabolism, but most patients notice clear benefits within the first month following treatment.
