Treatment Details
Facial V-Line Contouring & Bruxism Relief
Achieve a sophisticated, V-shaped facial contour while finding therapeutic relief from the symptoms of teeth grinding with our Masseter Botox at Lilac Aesthetic. The masseter muscles, positioned at the angle of the jaw, can become over-developed due to genetics or chronic clenching. By expertly administering Botulinum Toxin into these powerful muscles, we facilitate temporary relaxation, resulting in a visible slimming of the lower face and a dramatic reduction in jaw tension.
Key Benefits

Effectively reduces muscle hypertrophy to create a softer, more tapered, and contoured lower facial profile.
Clinical Tension Reduction
Proactively manages bruxism (grinding) to protect dental health and alleviate chronic jaw-related pain.
Non-Surgical Refinement

Masseter Slimming
A specialized clinical protocol designed to refine the jawline and alleviate bruxism tension at Lilac Aesthetic.
Muscular Palpation
We begin by palpating the masseter muscles while you clench your teeth to identify the areas of maximum hypertrophy. This allows us to map the precise injection grid required for an even, symmetrical slimming effect.
Deep Neuro-Modulation
Using precision clinical needles, the Botulinum Toxin is administered directly into the belly of the masseter muscle. This targeted delivery focuses on the lower third of the jaw to ensure aesthetic slimming without affecting your smile.
Tension De-activation
Within 1 week, the neuro-modulator begins to soften the bite force. The primary muscles responsible for grinding and clenching are de-activated, providing significant relief from jaw tension and bruxism-related headaches.
Structural Contouring
The visible slimming effect develops progressively over 4 to 8 weeks as the muscle volume naturally decreases from lack of use. This results in a softer, more tapered 'V-line' jawline and a refined lower facial profile.
Clinical Protocol
Optimizing V-Line slimming & bruxism relief
Preparation
Anti-Inflammatory Restriction
To minimize potential bruising in the jaw area, avoid blood-thinning agents such as Aspirin, Ibuprofen, and high doses of Vitamin E for 5 days prior.
Dental Health Awareness
Please ensure you do not have any active dental infections or major dental work (root canals or extractions) scheduled for 2 weeks before or after.
Neuromuscular Screening
Disclose if you have any pre-existing difficulty swallowing or speaking, as well as any history of neuromuscular disorders.
Facial Cleanliness
Arrive with the lower face free of heavy makeup. We will provide a clinical-grade sterilization of the masseter region.
Aftercare
Muscular Rest
Avoid chewing gum or eating excessively tough, 'chewy' foods (like steak) for the first 48 hours to help the toxin bind effectively to the targeted fibers.
Localized Stability
Do not rub, massage, or apply firm pressure to the jawline for 24 hours to prevent the product from migrating to adjacent smile muscles.
Thermal & Activity Guidance
Refrain from strenuous cardiovascular exercise, saunas, and steam rooms for 48 hours. Increased blood flow can exacerbate localized swelling.
The Slimming Timeline
Bruxism relief is typically felt within 1 week. Aesthetic slimming of the jawline is a gradual process that peaks at 4 to 8 weeks.
