Facial Slimming and Teeth Grinding

30 minutes
Facial slimming and teeth grinding treatments involve the use of a prescription-only medicine that works by temporarily relaxing targeted muscles. When administered into specific jaw muscles, this treatment may help reduce excessive muscle activity associated with teeth grinding (bruxism) and jaw clenching, while also creating a softer, more tapered appearance of the lower face over time.
