Jaw Tension, Teeth Grinding & Bruxism
Relieve Jaw Tension & Restore Everyday Comfort
Treatment
₦402,500
Jaw clenching and teeth grinding, also known as bruxism, can contribute to jaw discomfort, tension headaches, facial tightness and worn teeth. Over time, overactive jaw muscles may also create a broader or more prominent jawline.
At SkinCure, treatment is designed to relax the overactive jaw muscles responsible for clenching and grinding, helping to improve comfort and everyday function while preserving your natural facial expression.
How it works
A purified protein is carefully injected into the overactive jaw muscles to temporarily reduce excessive muscle activity.
Treatment may help to:
- Reduce jaw tension
- Relieve teeth grinding
- Ease jaw discomfort
- Reduce tension headaches
- Improve everyday comfort
- Soften an enlarged jawline caused by overactive muscles
Treatment typically takes 15–30 minutes.
What to expect
Your appointment begins with a consultation to assess your symptoms, medical history and jaw muscle activity.
A series of small injections is placed into carefully selected areas. Mild tenderness or small injection marks may occur afterwards but usually settle within a few days.
Many clients begin to notice an improvement in jaw tension within 1–2 weeks, with the full effect typically developing after 2–4 weeks.
Results & Maintenance
Results typically last around 3–4 months, although this varies between individuals.
As muscle activity gradually returns, maintenance treatments may be recommended to help manage ongoing clenching, grinding and jaw tension.
