Masseter Botox: Slim Your Jawline and Relieve Tension
Masseter Botox is a non-surgical treatment designed to relax the large muscles that connect your cheekbone to your lower jaw. Whether you are seeking a slimmer, more contoured facial profile or relief from the discomfort of teeth grinding, this quick and effective procedure offers transformative results.
What is Masseter Botox?
The masseter muscles are the primary muscles used for chewing. In some individuals, these muscles can become overdeveloped (hypertrophy), leading to a widened, square-shaped jawline. By injecting a purified protein directly into the masseter, we can temporarily reduce muscle activity. This results in two main benefits:
- Facial Slimming: As the muscle relaxes and reduces in size over time, the lower face takes on a softer, more V-shaped appearance.
- TMJ and Bruxism Relief: Relaxing these muscles significantly reduces involuntary teeth grinding (bruxism) and jaw clenching, alleviating headaches and jaw pain associated with TMJ disorders.
The Benefits of Treatment
- Non-Invasive Contouring: Achieve a refined jawline without the need for invasive surgery or downtime.
- Reduced Jaw Pain: Effective relief for chronic clenchers and grinders who have not found success with mouthguards.
- Quick Procedure: The treatment typically takes less than 20 minutes, making it an ideal “lunchbreak” procedure.
- Long-Lasting Results: While individual experiences vary, the effects of Masseter Botox usually last between 4 to 6 months.
