TMJ Injection / Facial Slimming
TMJ injections are treatments designed to alleviate pain and discomfort caused by temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders, which affect the jaw muscles and surrounding areas. This injection involves administering Botox into the masseter muscles to reduce tension, clenching, and grinding associated with TMJ disorders. In addition to pain relief, TMJ injections can also help with facial slimming, as the relaxation of the masseter muscles leads to a more refined jawline.
What to expect during your treatment?
During your TMJ injection session, your jaw and masseter muscles will be carefully assessed and treatment area will be marked. The injection process is quick and relatively painless, lasting about 10-20 minutes. You may feel slight pressure, but most patients report minimal discomfort.
After treatment, you can expect gradual relief from TMJ symptoms over a few days, with noticeable facial slimming effects appearing after a few weeks. The results typically last 3-6 months.
