Masseter Botox®
Slim a wide, square jaw and ease clenching and grinding with a few quick injections, no surgery and no downtime
Slim a wide, square jaw and ease clenching and grinding with a few quick injections, no surgery and no downtime
Your masseters are the chewing muscles at the back of your jaw. When they're overworked by clenching, grinding or simply genetics, they can grow bulky, giving the lower face a wide, square look and leaving your jaw tight and sore.
Masseter Botox® relaxes these muscles. Clenching and grinding ease, jaw tension lets up, and as the muscle slims over the following weeks, the lower face looks softer and more tapered. Treatment takes minutes, with no surgery and no downtime.
Plenty of men want to keep a strong, square jaw, and that's fine. We can dose to ease clenching and grinding while your jawline stays defined. If a bulky masseter is widening your face, a fuller treatment slims it for a leaner, sharper look. Your injector tailors the plan to the result you want. See Brotox for everything else we treat for men.

Relief from clenching often starts within one to two weeks. The slimming builds gradually as the muscle relaxes and is usually visible after about four to six weeks.
You'll chew normally, though some people notice their jaw tires a little sooner with tough foods for the first few weeks. Your smile is controlled by different muscles, and careful placement keeps it natural.
It depends on the size and strength of your masseters and whether your goal is relief, slimming or both. Larger, stronger muscles, which are common in men, usually need more. Your injector will recommend a dose at your visit.
Typically four to six months. Many people find that with regular treatments they can go longer between visits.
