Botox is well known in the cosmetic dermatology world to be a safe and effective way to reduce the signs of aging, helping you to achieve a youthful, rejuvenated appearance. It has also been gaining popularity as a non-surgical solution for jawline contouring by targeting the masseter muscles. Are you ready to learn more about Botox for masseters?
Your masseter muscles are located in your jaw and are responsible for chewing and clenching. If you tend to clench your jaw, these muscles can become larger, giving you a more square jawline. This can also cause a condition called bruxism, which can lead to jaw pain, headaches, and teeth grinding.
By injecting Botox into your overused masseter muscles, you can reduce clenching and teeth grinding. As your muscles relax from the Botox, this will also have a slimming effect, giving you a more balanced facial appearance.
This treatment is quick and non-invasive. Results take full effect within a couple of weeks and last for several months.
If clenching and teeth grinding is causing you pain and affecting the shape of your face, Botox may be the right treatment for you.
