Anti-Gnashing/Faceslimming
Many people suffer from nocturnal teeth grinding (bruxism), which can cause not only dental damage but also muscular tension and headaches. At the same time, an overactive masticatory muscle can make the face appear wider. With our targeted Botox treatment for the masticatory muscle (masseter), we offer a solution that reduces both teeth grinding and gently slims the face (faceslimming).
How does Botox work against teeth grinding and for faceslimming?
Botox weakens the activity of the overactive chewing muscles by inhibiting their contractions. This reduces nocturnal teeth grinding, and the chewing muscles relax. Over time, this also leads to a visual slimming of the lower facial area as the masseter muscle loses volume.
Benefits of the Anti-Gnashing/Faceslimming Treatment
- Relaxation of the chewing muscles: Reduces nocturnal teeth grinding and alleviates associated symptoms such as headaches and jaw pain.
- Face slimming: Creates a slimmer, harmonious appearance of the face.
- Protection of the teeth: Prevents dental damage caused by constant grinding.
- Minimal downtime: The treatment is quick and requires no recovery time.
Treatment procedure
The treatment lasts about 15 to 30 minutes, with precise Botox injections into the masticatory muscles (masseter). The full effect develops within 1 to 2 weeks, and the results usually last 3 to 6 months. If necessary, the treatment can be repeated after this time to maintain the effect.
