An overactive large masseter muscle needs a break from time to time

Although the masseter muscle is the most important of all masticatory muscles and ensures the correct bite, it can sometimes overdo it with its activity. The specialists at ^{UNIQAESTHETICS®} stop its uncontrolled growth quickly and safely by relaxing the masseter muscle by injection – effective help against masseter hypertrophy.

When is it advisable to have the masseter muscle relaxed by injection?

If overactivity of the masseter muscle leads to health or aesthetic problems, help is needed quickly. The masseter muscle extends from the ear to the upper and lower jaw, so that its “trained” enlargement can be clearly visible on the face, either on both sides or just on one side of the face. The good news is that, like biceps, the masseter muscle slowly regresses as soon as you take a longer break from training.

Some causes of excessive muscle development, such as constant gum chewing or eating predominantly solid food, which requires a lot of muscle activity, can be relatively easily remedied by the patient themselves. However, if the reasons for so-called masseter hypertrophy are stress-related teeth grinding at night or a congenital predisposition, an injection that relaxes the chewing muscle can be a comfortable alternative to wearing a dental splint.

^{UNIQAESTHETICS®} releases tension in a relaxed manner

When it comes to muscle relaxants, you can only trust experienced specialists. Our highly qualified surgical team is experienced in handling and using the appropriate active ingredients and guarantees you the highest level of safety. At our practice clinic for aesthetic surgery near Dortmund, we welcome you in a pleasant, relaxed atmosphere and take plenty of time to answer your questions about chewing muscle relaxation.

The aim of our treatment is to retrain the large masseter muscle through relaxation, which slowly normalizes the slightly angular and broad facial shape of patients suffering from masseter hypertrophy. The masticatory muscles remain fully functional.

The transmission of the nerve stimulus to the muscle is simply temporarily blocked by a targeted injection, and the excessive “training activity” is thus brought to a normal level for around six months. The recovery phase and regression can begin immediately.

Relaxing the masseter muscle requires practically no recovery period, the procedure is minimally invasive, is performed on an outpatient basis and hardly any side effects are to be expected. If you have any questions about the treatment of masseter hypertrophy, it is best to arrange a consultation with our dedicated practice team right away.
