What to Expect

Ease and Enhance! Our Masseter Treatment Reduces Jaw Tension for a More Refined Facial Contour.

Our masseter treatment usually takes about 20 minutes to complete. Before beginning, a topical anaesthetic may be applied to ensure comfort throughout the procedure. This treatment involves injecting a solution directly into the masseter muscles at the sides of the jaw. The injections help relax these muscles, which can reduce jaw tension and decrease the size of the muscles over time, often enhancing facial aesthetics and easing symptoms associated with teeth grinding.

Masseter Botox

The masseter is one of the muscles on either side of your face that helps you chew and connects your cheekbone to your lower jawbone. Botox or other anti-wrinkle injections that are injected into the masseter, are a safe and effective aesthetic treatment that relaxes the overactive masseter muscle for facial slimming and to prevent tooth grinding.

Anti-wrinkle injections are administered by our highly qualified aesthetic doctors after a complimentary consultation to ensure you are seeking the treatments best suited for you.

Treatment Procedure: On the day of the procedure, the targeted areas of your masseter muscles will be identified, and a topical numbing cream may be applied for added comfort. The Botox injections are typically administered using a fine needle, with the entire process usually taking 10 to 15 minutes.

Where is the masseter muscle located?

The masseter muscle is located on both sides of the lower jaw, extending from the cheekbone to the lower edge of the mandible. It plays a key role in biting and chewing.

What is masseter Botox?

Masseter Botox is a treatment involving the injection of botulinum toxin into the masseter muscles to relax them. It helps alleviate teeth grinding, jaw pain, and tension headaches while also slimming the jawline.

How does botox work for teeth grinding?

Botox or other anti-wrinkle injections work for teeth grinding by targeting the masseter muscles involved in clenching, and grinding the teeth. When anti-wrinkle treatment is injected into these muscles on either side of the face, it paralyses the area leading to muscle relaxation.

By reducing the activity of the jaw muscles, Botox helps alleviate the clenching and grinding associated with jaw clenching or teeth grinding. The effects of Botox for teeth grinding are not immediate, and it may take a few days to start noticing a reduction in symptoms.

How does Masseter botox work for slimming the face?

Masseter Botox, also known as jawline Botox or masseter reduction, is a cosmetic procedure that involves injecting Botox into the masseter muscles to achieve a slimming effect on the face. The masseter muscles are the main muscles responsible for chewing, and when they are overdeveloped it can result in a wider or more square-shaped face.

Using a fine needle our doctor will carefully inject small amounts of anti-wrinkle treatment into the masseter muscles causing the muscles to relax and reduce in size over time. This can lead to a slimmer and more contoured appearance of the jawline and lower face.
