Overview

The Treatment

Clenching and grinding, often experienced subconsciously during stress or sleep, can place excessive strain on the jaw muscles. Over time, this tension may lead to headaches, jaw discomfort, tooth wear and a bulky or square appearance of the lower face.

This treatment targets the masseter muscles, gently reducing excessive muscle activity. As the muscles relax, pressure through the jaw is eased and associated symptoms may improve. The treatment can also soften the width of the lower face, creating a more balanced facial profile without altering natural expression.

At Bavary Clinic, this treatment is approached with equal focus on comfort, function and facial harmony.

Our approach begins with understanding how your jaw functions at rest and in movement. We assess muscle strength, facial proportions and any signs of imbalance or overactivity before creating a personalised treatment plan.

Treatment is delivered conservatively, using precise placement and measured dosing to relieve tension without compromising natural movement or strength. The aim is to restore balance rather than weaken function, supporting long-term comfort while maintaining a refined, natural appearance.

Your appointment includes a detailed consultation, clinical photography and assessment of jaw activity. The treatment itself is quick and typically well tolerated, with fine needles used to minimise discomfort.

Most clients return to normal activities immediately. Any mild tenderness or fullness usually settles quickly. Improvements in clenching or grinding develop gradually over one to two weeks as the muscles relax.

Aftercare is minimal. Clients are advised to avoid excessive pressure on the area and strenuous activity for the first 24 hours.

Results

As the masseter muscles relax, many clients notice reduced jaw tension, fewer headaches and improved comfort. The lower face may also appear softer and less bulky, enhancing overall facial balance.

Results typically last several months. With regular, considered treatment, longer-term improvements in muscle behaviour and jaw comfort may be achieved.

What Our Patients Say

I have been seeing Hawa for a while now, and I truly can’t say enough about how much she has transformed my skin. From the very first session, she took the time to thoroughly assess my skin type and concerns, tailoring each treatment to meet my specific needs.

Not only are her facials incredible, but I’ve also seen significant improvements in texture, hydration and overall clarity. Her knowledge and expertise in skincare are unparalleled, and I always leave feeling refreshed and confident in my skin.

I highly recommend Hawa to anyone looking for professional, personalised care. She is a true goddess — and definitely a girls’ girl. 💗✨

Hawa, my girl — my skin is glowing. ❤️

Two stewardesses on my flight told me I had gorgeous, beautiful skin, and I told them it was ALL thanks to you.

As much as I’d love to gatekeep you, I can’t — the world deserves to know about your magic. ✨

Hi Hawa, I just wanted to say thank you so much for all the Obagi product recommendations, especially the Hydro Serum. Every single product has been absolutely amazing for my skin.

It’s been so good that I even went out with my friends without wearing makeup — for the first time in years — and felt so confident in my own skin.

I know there’s still work to do, but I’m truly grateful to you for helping me sort out my skin and giving me my confidence back. It’s been years. Thank you — see you soon.

I had microneedling with exosomes just one week before my holiday. Normally, after being in a hot country and exposed to strong sunlight, I come back with burnt or pigmented skin.

This time, despite the heat and being constantly in the sun and water, I came back with a beautiful, even tan. A friend commented on how clear my skin looked. I was honestly surprised at how calm my skin was — usually I experience a lot of redness — but it was even-toned and hydrated.

All I did was apply Sun Shield SPF 50 and moisturise with Tayibtree Tallow Cream. Thank you so much.

Hi Hawa, thank you so much for all your professional help and advice. I’m so glad I came to you. I love the results so far and can’t believe the difference between the two photos.

You’ve truly made such a difference to my skin.

You definitely have a very happy patient — I highly recommend you and will be spreading the word.

Hi Hawa, I just wanted to update you on my skin.

The bump — the supposed keloid — is completely gone. In fact, all three are gone. I had honestly come to accept that I would live with these protruding bumps on my face for life, and I was so self-conscious about taking my hijab off in front of friends and family… but not anymore.

I originally came to you for scarring, not for the keloids, as I had been told they were untreatable. Yet you went above and beyond to remove them — something my dermatologist had said wasn’t possible. And this was only my first treatment with you.

From the bottom of my heart, thank you. It’s clear you do what you do because you genuinely care about helping people.
