Home / Treatments / Masseter Botox

Masseter Botox has become a popular treatment for those looking to achieve a slimmer jawline, reduce teeth grinding, or relieve jaw tension. Whether you’re considering it for aesthetic or medical reasons, understanding the procedure, benefits, and potential side effects is essential. Let’s dive into the details.

What is Masseter Botox?

Masseter Botox involves the injection of botulinum toxin into the masseter muscles, which are located on the sides of the jaw and play a crucial role in chewing. This treatment temporarily relaxes the muscles, leading to a more contoured jawline and reduced tension in the area.

Benefits of Masseter Botox

  • Jawline Slimming – By reducing the size of the masseter muscles, Botox creates a more V-shaped, contoured facial structure.
  • Relief from Bruxism (Teeth Grinding) – Botox helps relax the jaw muscles, alleviating teeth grinding and clenching, which can lead to headaches and jaw pain.
  • Reduction of TMJ Disorder Symptoms – Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorder can cause discomfort and pain in the jaw. Botox can help ease these symptoms by decreasing muscle tension.
  • Less Jaw Tension and Pain – Individuals who suffer from chronic jaw tightness or pain can experience significant relief.
  • Non-Surgical and Quick Procedure – The treatment is minimally invasive, requires no downtime, and is typically completed within 15-20 minutes.

What to Expect During the Treatment

A Renew MedSpa injector will administer a series of small injections into the masseter muscles. The procedure is relatively painless, with most patients describing only a slight pinching sensation. Results start to appear within a few weeks, with full effects visible around four to six weeks after treatment.

How Many Units for Masseter Botox?

  • Masseter Botox is typically administered as two injections into the masseter muscle on each side of the face.
  • The masseter muscle is the strongest in the face due to its role in chewing.
  • A standard dose ranges from 20 to 30 units per side, depending on muscle strength.
  • Your Renew MedSpa injector will assess your jaw by asking you to clench your jaw muscles before determining the ideal dosage.
  • Dosage is customized based on individual needs and can be adjusted over time. A follow-up appointment is recommended after two weeks to evaluate results and modify dosage if needed.

How Long Do the Results Last?

  • Noticeable jawline slimming typically appears within 1 to 2 weeks, with full results visible after 4 weeks.
  • Effects last between 4 to 6 months, and regular maintenance treatments help sustain results.

Potential Side Effects

While generally safe, Masseter Botox may have some side effects, including:

  • Mild swelling or bruising at the injection site.
  • Temporary weakness in the jaw muscles.
  • Difficulty chewing tough foods (rare).

Who is a Good Candidate?

Masseter Botox is ideal for individuals who:

  • Experience jaw pain, clenching, or teeth grinding.
  • Desire a slimmer, more defined jawline.
  • Suffer from TMJ discomfort.
  • Are looking for a non-invasive alternative to jaw reduction surgery.

How Does Masseter Botox Work?

The masseter muscle extends from the base of the cheekbone to the bottom of the mandible and is activated when clenching the jaw.

Enlarged masseter muscles can result from:

  • Chewing gum excessively.
  • Jaw clenching or teeth grinding (bruxism).
  • Playing wind instruments.
  • Genetic factors.

A bulky masseter muscle can create a square-shaped jawline. Botox injections reduce nerve signals to the muscle, temporarily relaxing it and decreasing its size over time. This results in a more contoured, defined, and slimmer face.
