A targeted approach to jaw tension
Relieve jaw tension while preserving natural movement.
Bruxism can lead to persistent jaw tension, headaches, tooth wear and facial discomfort. By relaxing the overactive masseter muscles, anti wrinkle injections may reduce excessive clenching and grinding while helping to limit further tooth wear.
Every consultation includes a detailed assessment of your symptoms, muscle activity and facial anatomy. Dr Serena will recommend a personalised treatment plan designed to relieve discomfort while maintaining natural jaw function.
"The goal is to reduce tension and improve comfort while keeping your natural facial expression."

Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know
Your consultation is the best place to discuss personal suitability, but these answers cover some of the most common questions.
Bruxism is the involuntary clenching or grinding of the teeth, which may occur during the day or while sleeping. Over time, it can contribute to jaw pain, headaches, tooth wear, facial tension and enlargement of the jaw muscles.
Anti wrinkle injections relax the overactive masseter muscles responsible for clenching and grinding. This can reduce jaw tension, relieve discomfort and headaches, help protect the teeth from further wear and, in suitable patients, gradually soften the appearance of the jawline.
Most patients begin to notice improvement within one to two weeks, with full results developing after around two weeks. Results typically last three to four months, although this varies between individuals. Regular maintenance treatments may help provide ongoing symptom relief.
Your comfort is always a priority. A topical numbing cream is applied before treatment, and we use ultra fine needles to make the procedure as comfortable as possible. Most patients describe the injections as quick and well tolerated.
Downtime is usually minimal, allowing most patients to return to normal activities straight away. For the first four to six hours, you should remain upright and avoid excessive bending or lying down. Strenuous exercise should also be avoided until the following day. Alcohol, caffeine and medications such as ibuprofen may increase the likelihood of bruising around the injection sites but will not affect your treatment results.
