Masseter Botox in Dubai — jaw slimming and teeth grinding
Clenching enlarges the masseter muscles, making the lower face look wider and causing jaw ache, headaches and tooth wear.
Masseter Botox relaxes the large chewing muscles at the jaw angle. It is used to soften a square jaw and to reduce clenching and grinding. At Manhal Medical Center, dermatology and dental teams can coordinate with night guards and TMJ assessment.
Key facts
- Relaxes chewing muscles
- Slimmer lower face over weeks
- Helps clenching and grinding
- Repeat about every 4–6 months
Slimming effect
As the muscle relaxes over several weeks, the lower face can look slimmer; full effect is seen at around six to eight weeks.
Grinding and clenching
Botox reduces muscle force, which can ease jaw tension; a night guard still protects the teeth.
Combined dental care
Our dentists check tooth wear and the jaw joint, so treatment addresses the cause as well as the muscle.
Botulinum toxin relaxes the muscles that create expression lines. When dosed carefully it softens lines while keeping natural movement.

Who does masseter (jaw) Botox in Dubai for jaw slimming or grinding?
Masseter Botox is performed by Specialist Dermatologist Dr. Abdullah Anis at Manhal Medical Center in Dubai, for a slimmer lower face or to reduce clenching-related muscle tension. He examines the muscle size and your facial balance first and doses conservatively. The slimming effect develops gradually over several weeks.
Does jaw Botox help teeth grinding and TMJ pain?
Masseter Botox with Dr. Abdullah Anis at Manhal Medical Center in Dubai can reduce the force of clenching and muscle soreness for some people. It does not replace a dental assessment, so grinding with worn teeth or jaw-joint symptoms may also need a night guard from the dental team or a TMJ assessment with orthodontist Dr. Moaiyad Pacha. Effects usually last a few months.
What are the side effects of masseter Botox?
Side effects after masseter Botox with Dr. Abdullah Anis at Manhal Medical Center in Dubai are usually mild, such as tenderness, bruising or temporary chewing fatigue. Less commonly, an uneven smile can occur if the product spreads, which resolves as it wears off. Precise placement and conservative dosing reduce these risks.

Reasonable price and great location. Great experience so far I had my laser done and very happy with the result. So I decided to purchase another package :)Like many people, I don't enjoy the dentist. For many years I avoided visits out of fear. I found Manhal 15 years ago, and he is a wonderful dentist. Calming presence. Excellent implantology as well as other dental work. I have recommended him personally to many friends, and will continue to do so. I just hope he doesn't ever retire. When I have been overseas with dental problems, I have flown back to Dubai specifically to see him. Could not imagine ever going to another dentist.this was my first visit to Dr Manhal after recomendation from my husband, i needed his consultation after i visited more than one doctor in Lebanon with no luck, i am glad i visited him, he is very professional the clinic is very clean with great staff
