Anti-wrinkle injections to the masseter to slim a wide jaw and ease teeth grinding, performed personally by a GPhC-registered prescriber pharmacist on Wimpole Street.
Book Your ConsultationThe masseter is the powerful muscle at the angle of the jaw that we use to chew and clench. In some people it becomes enlarged, either naturally or through habitual clenching and teeth grinding, which can widen the lower face and give the jaw a square, heavy appearance. Anti-wrinkle injections into the masseter are a widely used way to soften the muscle, which can both slim the jawline over time and ease the symptoms of teeth grinding.
At DimAllure on Wimpole Street, this treatment is carried out personally by Dima Alomar, a GPhC-registered Clinical Prescriber Pharmacist. This page is an educational overview. As a prescription-only treatment, anti-wrinkle injections are only ever provided after a face-to-face consultation and assessment.
Treating the masseter can help in two related ways.
Many people come for one of these reasons and find they benefit from both. During your consultation, Dima will discuss your main concern and what is realistically achievable.
Every treatment begins with a consultation, which costs £50 and is fully redeemable against your treatment. Dima will examine your jaw muscles, ask about clenching and grinding, review your medical history and discuss your goals. If your symptoms suggest a dental cause, she will advise you to see your dentist alongside or instead of treatment. Honesty about what will and will not help is central to how we work.
The treatment is quick, usually taking between 15 and 30 minutes. A few injections are placed into the masseter muscle on each side with a fine needle. Most people find it very tolerable. There is no significant downtime, and most people return to their day straight away.
The effects build gradually. Relief from clenching and grinding is often noticed within a couple of weeks, while visible slimming of the jaw develops more slowly over several weeks as the muscle reduces. Because the masseter is a strong muscle, the effect often lasts longer than facial expression-line treatments, typically in the region of four to six months, and the slimming effect can become more lasting with repeated treatment. Every treatment includes a two-week review.
Softening the masseter changes the shape of the lower face, so some people consider it alongside treatments that define the chin or jaw. Where excessive sweating is also a concern, you may be interested in our excessive sweating treatment in London.

Anti-wrinkle injections relax the masseter, and with repeated treatment the muscle gradually reduces in size. This can make the lower face appear slimmer and the jawline softer and more tapered over time.
Yes, for many people. By reducing the strength of the masseter, the treatment can ease the jaw tension, soreness and headaches associated with grinding and clenching, known as bruxism. If a dental cause is suspected, Dima will advise you to see your dentist as well.

Most people find it very tolerable, describing only a brief pinch at each injection point. Treatment takes around fifteen to thirty minutes.
There is no significant downtime. You may have minor tenderness at the injection sites for a short time. Most people return to their day straight away.
Yes. The treatment softens the muscle rather than disabling it, so normal eating and chewing continue. Some people notice the muscle feels a little less strong at first, which settles as you adjust.
