Treat TMJ & Get a Slimmer Jaw with Masseter Botox
Masseter Botox refers to the use of Botox injections in the masseter muscles – which are the large muscles located on the sides of the jaw that control chewing.
Injecting Botox in the jaw can help treat TMJ (temporomandibular joint) disorders, teeth grinding (bruxism), and jaw clenching. The Botox blocks the nerve signals that causes the muscle to contract which leads to a reduction in muscle activity. Some people who experience chronic tension headaches or migraines related to jaw tension can find relief from this treatment.
Masseter Botox also has popular cosmetic benefits, particularly jaw slimming. When the masseter muscle is reduced in size, it can result in a more tapered or V-shaped facial appearance, which is sometimes desired for aesthetic reasons. People with larger, square jawlines may notice a softer, more contoured appearance after Botox injections.
Botox injections in the jawline can sometimes contribute to the appearance of jowls, particularly in patients who are more prone to skin laxity. Jowls refer to the sagging or loose skin that forms along the lower jawline and near the chin.
