Masseter Botox is an injectable treatment targeting the masseter muscles to reduce muscle activity, which over weeks leads to a slimming effect on the jawline and relief from issues like teeth grinding and TMJ pain. The full visual and therapeutic effects typically become visible within 2 to 4 weeks after treatment and can last about 3 to 4 months. Before treatment, the jawline may appear more square or bulky due to stronger masseter muscles, especially in those who clench or grind their teeth. After treatment, the jaw often looks slimmer and more oval-shaped due to muscle relaxation and atrophy, with reduced tension and discomfort. The procedure is quick, involves minimal discomfort, has no downtime, and results develop gradually for a natural- looking enhancement.

What to Expect Before and After Masseter Botox

• Before: The masseter muscle is prominent if the jaw is clenched, creating a squared jaw appearance or causing tension and teeth grinding.
• After: Within 2-4 weeks, the muscle relaxes and shrinks, softening the jawline into a more tapered, oval contour. Jaw tension and symptoms like bruxism are alleviated.
• Duration: Results typically last 3 to 4 months, with successive treatments recommended for maintenance.
• Procedure: Lasts about 15-20 minutes; involves precise injections with minimal discomfort and no recovery downtime.
• Timeline: Initial effects seen in days, significant contour changes in 2-3 weeks, full results by week 4.

Visual Before and After

The "before" image commonly shows a wider or squared jaw, while the "after" image reveals a noticeably narrower, softer jawline. The improvement is subtle but significant, maintaining a natural appearance while providing both cosmetic and therapeutic benefits.
