Masseter Botox
Looking to slim your jawline or find real relief from jaw clenching and TMJ symptoms? Masseter Botox at Skin Vitality targets the masseter muscle to help sculpt a softer lower face while easing tension and teeth grinding.
Masseter Botox: Jawline Slimming & TMJ Relief at Skin Vitality Clinics
Ready to slim your jawline, relieve chronic jaw tension, or say goodbye to teeth grinding? Masseter Botox is one of the most exciting non-surgical treatments available today—and it’s changing the game in facial contouring and pain relief. At Skin Vitality, we use targeted Botox injections to relax the masseter muscle for a sharper profile and real relief from jaw discomfort. It’s fast, effective, and results keep getting better over time.
How Masseter Botox Works
The masseter is the powerful muscle at the sides of your jaw responsible for chewing. If you’ve ever noticed a wide or boxy lower face—or felt soreness from jaw clenching or teeth grinding—that’s your masseter at work.
Botox in the masseter muscle temporarily relaxes its activity, helping to slim and contour the jawline, relieve pressure and tightness, and reduce symptoms of TMJ and bruxism (teeth grinding). With consistent treatments, the muscle reduces in size for a longer-lasting, more sculpted appearance.
Who Should Consider It?
You’re a great candidate for Masseter Botox if you:
- Want a sleeker, more V-shaped jawline
- Wake up with jaw pain or tension headaches
- Struggle with TMJ or teeth grinding
- Have a wide or square face shape due to strong jaw muscles
- Want a non-invasive alternative to jaw surgery or contouring
At Skin Vitality, every treatment starts with a free personalized assessment to determine if this is the best option for your goals.
Top Benefits of Masseter Botox
Masseter Botox offers a range of aesthetic and therapeutic benefits. It slims and softens a bulky jawline, helping to create a more refined facial profile. Many patients find relief from TMJ pain, clenching, and tension headaches. It also helps with teeth grinding, especially for people who struggle with bruxism while sleeping.
One of the biggest advantages is that it’s a completely non-surgical, in-and-out treatment. No scars, no incisions, no downtime—just subtle results that get better over time.
Masseter Botox vs. Other Jawline Treatments
Unlike jawline filler, which adds volume to sculpt and define, Masseter Botox reduces the size of the muscle, making it ideal for people with a wider or more prominent lower face. Compared to jaw surgery, it’s completely non-invasive and requires no recovery period.
While jawline filler offers immediate structure and contouring, Botox offers a softer, more gradual result by shrinking the underlying muscle. Some patients choose to combine both treatments for optimal facial balance.
Masseter Botox: Before & After Expectations
Before: Your expert injector will evaluate your facial anatomy and muscle movement during your personalized assessment. Based on your jaw tension, goals, and structure, we’ll map out the injection points and dosage.
After: Expect visible softening in 1–2 weeks, with peak results at 4–6 weeks. For long-term results, most patients return every 4 to 6 months for maintenance.
Clients commonly report:
- A visibly slimmer lower face
- Decreased clenching and tension
- Fewer headaches and better sleep
What Happens During Treatment?
The treatment is quick and simple—typically 15 to 20 minutes from start to finish. After a quick cleanse, your injector will place small amounts of Botox into specific areas of your masseter muscles. The injections are fast and well-tolerated, often described as quick pinches.
Once done, you’re free to resume your regular day.
Aftercare & Recovery
There’s virtually no downtime after Masseter Botox. You can go right back to work, errands, or whatever your day involves.
We recommend the following aftercare:
- Stay upright for 4 hours post-treatment
- Avoid intense workouts for the rest of the day
- Skip facial massages or treatments for 48 hours
- Limit salt and alcohol intake for 24 hours to reduce swelling
