What is Masseter Botox?
Botox for the masseter muscles is used to reduce the size of the jaw muscles, which can help with teeth grinding (bruxism) and jaw tension. By relaxing the masseter muscles, Botox alleviates pressure and creates a slimmer, more contoured jawline. This treatment is commonly used for both cosmetic and therapeutic purposes.
This treatment is ideal for individuals experiencing jaw pain, tension, or those looking for jawline slimming.
Things You Should Know Before Your Masseter Botox Treatment
Before undergoing Botox injections for the masseter muscles, consider the following:
- Consultation: A consultation with a specialist is necessary to assess the severity of jaw tension or bruxism and determine the number of units needed.
- Avoid Alcohol: Avoid alcohol 24 hours before the treatment to minimize bruising.
What Happens During Masseter Botox Treatment?
During the treatment, expect the following:
- Injection Process: Botox is injected into the masseter muscles using a fine needle.
- Sensations: Mild discomfort or a pinching sensation may be felt during the injections.
- Duration: The procedure lasts about 15 to 20 minutes.
Recovery and Results: What to Expect
After your Masseter Botox treatment, here’s what to expect:
- Minimal Downtime: You can return to normal activities immediately after the procedure.
- Jawline Slimming: The results become noticeable within 2 to 4 weeks as the muscles relax and the jawline appears more contoured.
- Long-Lasting Results: The effects typically last 4 to 6 months.
