About the treatment
Botox in the jaw muscle has proven to be one of the most effective methods for breaking that cycle. At Dibélle in Helsingborg, our nurse injects a small amount of botulinum toxin directly into the masseter muscle, causing it to relax and reduce in activity. Jaw Botox provides relief from both the pain and the damage caused by clenching. Many find that already after the first treatment, they sleep better, wake up without headaches and the constant jaw tension finally lets go. It is a treatment that often improves quality of life more than people expected. A bonus that many appreciate: when the jaw muscle decreases in size after treatment, the face naturally becomes slimmer and more V-shaped. It is an aesthetic side effect that makes jaw Botox popular even among those who do not grind their teeth. In large parts of Asia, this is one of the most sought-after treatments, specifically for its contouring effect. The effect comes gradually and reaches full strength within 7 to 10 days. Longevity is 3 to 6 months, and the result tends to improve and last longer each time. The treatment is always performed by a registered nurse. A follow-up is included at no cost within 2 to 3 weeks. We do not recommend the treatment for pregnant or breastfeeding individuals.
