Frequently Asked Questions
-
No. The goal is to weaken the muscles' involuntary clenching power, not eliminate the ability to chew. You may feel a temporary, mild fatigue when eating very tough foods, but your normal function remains fully intact.
-
Functional relief (less clenching) can often be felt within 3 to 7 days. Pain relief usually builds gradually over the first 2 weeks as the muscle relaxes.
-
The aesthetic slimming of the jawline is gradual, as the muscles need time to atrophy. This effect is usually noticeable between 4 to 6 weeks post-treatment.
-
Functional relief for clenching and TMJ typically lasts between 4 to 6 months. With regular treatment, the muscles can stay smaller for longer, often requiring less frequent touch-ups over time.
-
There is virtually no downtime. You may have minor tenderness or a tiny bruise at the injection sites. You can return to all normal activities immediately, though we recommend avoiding excessive chewing immediately after.
-
Yes, absolutely. Combining Masseter relaxation with Dermal Filler in the chin or along the jawline is a popular technique for complete facial harmonization and optimal contouring.
