Corey Anderson, AHPRA registered nurse (NMW0001047575), provides individually assessed masseter treatment for clients from Carnegie, Chadstone, Bentlei
When searching for masseter treatment near you in Melbourne, proximity to a clinic is only part of the consideration. Masseter treatment requires accurate assessment of muscle volume before dosing, and the dose is one of the most variable in facial aesthetics: ranging from 20 to 50 or more units per side depending on individual muscle size.
Core Aesthetics in Oakleigh serves clients from across Melbourne’s south east for individually assessed masseter treatment. The clinic is accessible from Carnegie, Chadstone, Bentleigh, Clayton, Cheltenham, Malvern, Brighton, Toorak, South Yarra, and the inner suburbs.
“The slimming effect is gradual. Six to twelve weeks later, clients often notice more than they expected.”
What Masseter Treatment Is Used For
Masseter treatment with prescription anti wrinkle product is used for two distinct applications, often overlapping in the same client.
What This Means in Practice
Cosmetic jaw slimming. When the masseter muscles are enlarged, they create a squarer or wider lower face than the rest of the facial proportions suggest. Reducing the muscle bulk over successive treatments gradually narrows the lower face and softens the jaw angle, improving the proportional balance between the upper, mid and lower face.
Functional symptom relief. Enlarged masseters are frequently associated with teeth grinding (bruxism), jaw clenching, and chronic jaw tension. Reducing muscle contraction strength decreases the force of grinding and can provide meaningful relief from morning soreness, jaw fatigue and tension related headaches. This aspect is assessed as part of the clinical picture at consultation.
Signs the width may be muscular
Jaw feels tight or sore in the morning. History of grinding or clenching. Jaw widens visibly when you clench. Width has increased over time.
Signs the width may be bony
Jaw angle is prominent but not palpably muscular. Width has been consistent since your teens. No grinding or clenching history. Family members have similar jaw structure.
The distinction matters because anti wrinkle product is effective for muscle bulk and ineffective for bony width. The clinical assessment at consultation determines which category applies before any treatment is recommended.
Why Dosing Assessment Matters Near Melbourne
The masseter muscles are among the largest muscles treated in facial aesthetics, and their size varies enormously between individuals. A small masseter may require 20 to 25 units per side for adequate treatment. A large, hypertrophied masseter in a male client with a significant grinding history may require 40 to 50 or more units per side to achieve a meaningful reduction.
What This Means in Practice
Under dosing the masseter is one of the most common reasons clients report disappointing results after treatment elsewhere. If the dose is insufficient to adequately reduce muscle activity, the slimming effect is minimal or short lived. Corey Anderson palpates the masseter muscle at rest and during active clenching to assess its volume before recommending a dose, rather than applying a standard amount.
The Treatment Journey
Masseter treatment is a multi session process for most clients seeking significant jaw slimming. The timeline typically looks like this:
The first session establishes the starting dose based on individual assessment. The slimming effect develops gradually over six to twelve weeks as the muscle reduces in bulk. A review at eight to ten weeks assesses the result and determines whether a top up is indicated or whether the outcome is on track for the next maintenance session.
The second and third sessions build on the progress made. By the third session, most clients are seeing the degree of slimming they were working toward. Maintenance sessions thereafter are often effective at lower doses as the muscles have adapted.
