Anti-Wrinkle Injections & Bruxism (Botulinum Toxin)

Botulinum toxin treatments offered within the clinic's aesthetic-medicine service, alongside its dental work. Beyond softening facial expression lines, the practice uses it to relax the jaw muscles in bruxism (teeth-grinding) — a natural fit for a dental clinic — and to correct a gummy smile or reduce excessive sweating. Treatments are quick, performed after a consultation, and tailored to the individual.

Botulinum toxin injections temporarily relax targeted muscles by reducing the nerve signals that make them contract. In aesthetic use this softens dynamic expression lines — such as frown lines, forehead lines and crow's feet — for a smoother, refreshed look while keeping natural movement. Because Implantclinic is a dental practice, it also offers two applications closely linked to oral health: relaxing the powerful masseter muscles to ease bruxism, the involuntary clenching and grinding that can cause jaw pain, headaches and worn teeth; and correcting a gummy smile by easing the muscle that lifts the upper lip too high. Treatment begins with an aesthetic-medicine consultation to assess the area and agree the plan. The injections themselves take only a few minutes using a fine needle, generally without anaesthetic, and most people return to normal activities the same day while avoiding heat and vigorous exercise for the rest of it. For facial lines, results appear over the following days and typically last a few months before movement gradually returns and a repeat session is needed; for bruxism, relaxing the masseter can reduce grinding force and associated discomfort. The clinic additionally treats focal hyperhidrosis — excessive sweating of the underarms, palms or soles — by reducing the activity of the sweat glands in the treated area. These treatments suit adults seeking the relevant aesthetic or functional benefit; suitability and contraindications, including pregnancy and breastfeeding, are reviewed at consultation, and the dose and areas are tailored to each patient.
