Masseter Botox for Facial Slimming

How Does Masseter Botox Cause Facial Slimming? The masseter muscle is responsible for jaw movement and chewing. When Botox is injected into this muscle, it gradually relaxes and shrinks over time, leading to a more contoured and slimmer facial appearance. This effect typically becomes noticeable within a few weeks and reaches its peak after a couple of months.

How Does Masseter Botox Help with TMJ, Clenching, and Teeth Grinding? Many people suffer from jaw tension, teeth grinding (bruxism), and TMJ disorders, which can cause pain, headaches, and discomfort. By relaxing the masseter muscle, Botox reduces excessive jaw movement and tension, providing relief from:

• ●  TMJ pain and discomfort
• ●  Jaw tension and tightness
• ●  Teeth grinding (bruxism)
• ●  Facial pain and headaches caused by clenching
