Anti-Wrinkle Treatment

Anti-wrinkle treatments are a safe and effective way to soften lines and create a refreshed, natural look.

They work by relaxing specific facial muscles, helping to smooth existing lines and prevent new ones from forming. Treatment is quick, with minimal downtime, and results typically appear within 3–10 days and last around 3–4 months.

Our focus is always on achieving a subtle, natural outcome — leaving you looking well-rested rather than “frozen.”

Treatment suitable for Bruxism

Bruxism is the medical term for teeth grinding or jaw clenching, which can lead to tooth wear, headaches, facial pain, and tension in the jaw muscles. For many patients, targeted application to specific areas can be an effective way to relieve these symptoms.

The treatment works by relaxing the overactive jaw muscles (masseters), reducing the intensity of clenching and grinding without affecting normal facial movements such as chewing or speaking. Patients often notice reduced jaw tension, fewer headaches, and in some cases a slimmer facial appearance as the muscles soften over time.

Bruxism Treatment – Frequently Asked Questions

  1. Will the treatment stop me from chewing normally?
    No. The application is carefully placed to reduce excessive clenching and grinding, but won’t stop you from chewing, speaking, or moving your jaw normally.
  2. Is the treatment painful?
    Most people find the procedure very comfortable. You may feel a quick pinprick or slight pressure at the injection site. The treatment only takes a few minutes.
  3. When will I notice results?
    You may start to feel relief from jaw tension within 1–2 weeks, with full results usually visible by 4 weeks.
  4. How long does it last?
    Results typically last 3–6 months. With regular treatments, the effects may last longer as the overworked jaw muscles gradually relax.
  5. Are there any side effects?
    The most common side effects are mild swelling, tenderness, or small bruises at the injection sites. These usually resolve within a few days. Serious side effects are very rare when treatment is performed by trained professionals.
  6. Can this treatment help with the shape of my jaw?
    Yes. Many patients notice that the lower face looks softer and slimmer over time, as the jaw muscles reduce in size from less overuse.
  7. Is it suitable for everyone?
    Most adults with teeth grinding or jaw clenching can benefit. At your consultation, we’ll assess your medical history to make sure it’s the right option for you.
