Can jaw (masseter) wrinkle-relaxation treatments help with teeth grinding, jaw clenching, TMJ (TMD), migraines, and jaw slimming?
Jaw (masseter) wrinkle-relaxation treatments are used in clinical practice to address teeth grinding (bruxism), jaw clenching, and muscle-related discomfort, and may also create a softer jawline appearance. They may play a role in managing symptoms associated with TMJ disorders (TMD) in selected cases. Suitability varies, and a personalised consultation is essential.

Can I have wrinkle-relaxing treatments during pregnancy or while breastfeeding?
Wrinkle-relaxing treatments are not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding. At The Aesthetic Medic, we do not perform these treatments while you are pregnant or breastfeeding. This is based on current safety guidance, limited research, and a precautionary clinical approach (TGA, 2023; Royal Women’s Hospital, 2022).

What is the aftercare for wrinkle-relaxing treatments (crow’s feet, DAO, and eyebrow lift)?
After wrinkle-relaxing treatments, keep the area untouched, remain upright for several hours, and follow your clinician’s personalised guidance. Treatments in areas such as crow’s feet, DAO, and eyebrow lift regions work by softening muscle activity. Results develop gradually over several days, with full effect usually seen at around two weeks (Carruthers et al., 2016).
