What is Masseter Botox & What Does It Do?

What is Masseter Botox & What Does It Do?

What is the Masseter Muscle?

The masseter muscle is one of the main muscles you use to chew. It’s located on each side of your jaw, connecting your cheekbone to your lower jawbone. This muscle gets to work when you chew, talk, or clench your teeth. It’s quite strong and plays a big part in shaping the lower part of your face.

However, since it’s used so much, sometimes it can cause problems like soreness or contribute to teeth grinding (bruxism).

What is Masseter Botox?

Masseter Botox is a procedure in which Botox, a muscle-relaxing agent, is injected directly into the masseter muscle. The process is quick, typically taking only a few minutes, and is done with a fine needle to ensure minimal discomfort. Botox blocks the nerve signals that cause the muscle to contract.

This reduces the overall size of the muscle and causes less tension. As a result, patients often see a softer jawline and experience relief from jaw pain, stress, and the habit of grinding teeth.
