About this treatment

Relief from jaw
tension and more.

Jaw clenching (bruxism) is a common and often debilitating condition. It is characterised by involuntary clenching or grinding of the teeth, typically caused by overactivity of the masseter muscles. It can occur during sleep or throughout the day, often without the person being aware of it.

Left unaddressed, chronic jaw clenching can cause a range of significant symptoms. Persistent headaches, facial pain, dental wear and jaw joint dysfunction are among the most common. Over time, the masseter muscles can also enlarge, contributing to a wider, squarer lower face.

At BYGOLDEN, we offer an injectable treatment that works by relaxing the masseter muscles. It provides meaningful relief from the symptoms of bruxism while also gradually softening the jawline for those seeking a more contoured facial appearance. A Cosmetic Medicine Consultation is required before any treatment proceeds.

Two concerns, one treatment

"Relief from jaw pain."

One of the unique benefits of masseter treatment is that it addresses both function and aesthetics simultaneously. As the muscles relax and gradually reduce in size over a series of treatments, clients experience relief from jaw tension, headaches and grinding. Many also notice a softer, more contoured jawline as a natural result of the treatment.

The treatment

How jaw clenching
treatment works

Step one

Consultation & assessment

All jaw clenching treatments begin with a Cosmetic Medicine Consultation, required in line with Australian TGA regulations. Your clinician will assess the size and strength of your masseter muscles, discuss your symptoms and goals, and determine the appropriate treatment approach. If suitable, treatment may be able to proceed on the same day.
Step two

Targeted muscle relaxation

A precise amount of muscle relaxant is injected directly into the masseter muscles on both sides of the jaw. The treatment works by temporarily reducing the contraction force of these muscles, relieving the pressure, tension and grinding responsible for bruxism symptoms. The procedure is quick, well tolerated and requires no anaesthetic or downtime.
Step three

Progressive relief & slimming

Symptom relief typically begins within one to two weeks and continues to improve as the muscles reduce in activity. With repeated treatments over time, the masseter muscles gradually reduce in size, providing longer-lasting relief from bruxism and progressively softening the jawline for clients seeking a slimmer facial appearance.

Your questions

Frequently asked questions

Muscle relaxant injections into the masseter muscle are widely considered the most effective treatment for jaw clenching and bruxism. At BYGOLDEN in Parkdale, Melbourne, a TGA-approved muscle relaxant is precisely administered to reduce the force of jaw clenching, relieving associated headaches, jaw soreness and facial tension. Results typically last 3 to 6 months. Suitability is assessed at a cosmetic medicine consultation before any treatment proceeds.
A small amount of TGA-approved muscle relaxant is injected into the masseter, the large muscle responsible for chewing and clenching. This temporarily reduces the muscle's ability to contract with force, significantly relieving the tension, pain and damage associated with jaw clenching and teeth grinding. The treatment does not affect normal chewing or speech.
Yes. Repeated treatment of the masseter muscle often reduces its bulk over time, softening the lower face and creating a slimmer, more tapered profile. This jaw slimming effect is a common secondary benefit for clients receiving treatment primarily for jaw clenching or bruxism, and becomes more pronounced with successive treatments.
Results typically last between 3 and 6 months. With repeated treatments over time, the masseter muscles gradually reduce in size, meaning results often last longer with each successive treatment. Most clients maintain with treatments every 4 to 6 months. Your clinician will advise on a personalised schedule at your consultation.
There is no significant downtime. Most clients return to normal daily activities immediately. Mild tenderness at the injection sites may occur for a day or two. Detailed aftercare instructions are provided at your appointment.
Yes. Treatment works by relaxing the masseter muscles, which are largely responsible for the grinding force. This reduces the intensity of teeth grinding while also relieving associated jaw tension, headaches and facial discomfort. Many clients find the treatment beneficial in protecting against further dental wear.
All cosmetic medicine treatments at BYGOLDEN are performed by Marlie, a Registered Nurse, Advanced Life Support Paramedic and medical student with specialist training in cosmetic injectables.

Yes. A Cosmetic Medicine Consultation is required before commencing jaw clenching treatment at BYGOLDEN, in line with Australian TGA regulations. If suitable, treatment may be able to proceed on the same day. Book online or call us on 03 7047 7704.
