Stay relaxed, even when the masticatory muscle shows its size

It does sterling work when it comes to breaking down food: the masseter muscle. Accordingly – similar to other muscle groups – increased strain can lead to an enlargement of the muscle, so-called masseter hypertrophy.

The specialists at UNIQAESTHETICS® offer an effective therapy to stop this process quickly and reliably: the masseter treatment in Dortmund releases the tension in the masticatory muscle by injection and promotes its regression.

Your safety is our top priority, which is why we use only officially approved procedures and high-quality products from Germany. The best thing to do is arrange a non-binding appointment right away in a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere!

The masticatory muscle as a source of tension

The causes of an enlarged masticatory muscle are varied: regular gum chewing, frequently eating predominantly solid food, teeth grinding (especially at night), increased fat in the cheek area, malocclusion or predisposition.

The masseter treatment offers quick help against the health-related as well as the aesthetic problems associated with such an enlargement. Regardless of the cause, it curbs the overactivity of the masticatory muscle and it gradually regresses again.

Therapy alternative

A breather for the masticatory muscle

The masticatory muscle is subject to the same principles as the rest of our body's musculature during athletic training. Activities such as regular gum chewing and the frequent consumption of predominantly solid food strengthen it and can cause it to enlarge. If these habits are adjusted accordingly, the masticatory muscle gets the break it needs and shrinks again over time.

But what if the masseter hypertrophy is primarily based on teeth grinding or predisposition? The conservative treatment method in the form of a bite splint is usually perceived as bothersome or even embarrassing and is rarely crowned with success. A convenient alternative and now the therapy of first choice is the masseter treatment by injection, which relaxes the masticatory muscle and brings about a reduction in muscle activity.

Injection

UNIQAESTHETICS® gets you to your goal relaxed

Do your facial features look broader than before due to masseter hypertrophy? Our treatment focuses on regressing the hyperactive masticatory muscle through relaxation and thereby gradually normalising the facial shape again.

The principle: a targeted injection temporarily suspends the transmission of nerve impulses and accordingly throttles muscle activity to a normal level for around six months. The recovery phase and the regression thus begin immediately. The minimally invasive procedure is performed on an outpatient basis and impresses with a pleasingly low potential for side effects.
