Botox — Bruxism / Jaw Clenching (100 units)

Botulinum toxin injection into the masseter muscles to treat bruxism, jaw clenching, and teeth grinding. 1,450 PLN at JetSet Clinic Warsaw. Reduces masseter hypertrophy, relieves jaw tension, and has a face-slimming effect.

Bruxism treatment with botulinum toxin targets the masseter muscles — the large jaw muscles responsible for grinding and clenching. JetSet Clinic charges 1,450 PLN for the bilateral procedure (both sides), which is in line with mid-range Warsaw pricing and substantially below the typical 400–800 EUR charged in Berlin or Munich clinics for the same indication. The treatment involves injecting approximately 25 to 50 units of botulinum toxin into each masseter, weakening the muscle's ability to generate the powerful clenching forces that damage teeth, strain the temporomandibular joint, and cause chronic jaw and headache pain. Effects develop over 2 to 4 weeks as the toxin progressively reduces neuromuscular signalling. Patients typically report significant reduction in morning jaw stiffness and headache frequency within the first month. A secondary cosmetic effect of masseter botox is facial slimming. Chronic masseter hypertrophy — common in bruxers — creates a widened, square jaw appearance. As the muscle atrophies following repeated treatment cycles, the lower face narrows, creating a softer, more oval facial contour. This dual functional-cosmetic benefit makes masseter botox one of the most cost-effective single procedures in aesthetic medicine. The procedure takes approximately 15 minutes and requires no downtime. Mild jaw soreness and temporary chewing weakness are common in the first week. Longevity is longer than cosmetic facial areas — typically 5 to 8 months — because the masseter is a heavily used muscle that develops resistance more slowly than the thinner muscles of the upper face.
