Book a consultation with us today to learn more about how we can help you achieve your goals!

What is Jawtox?

Jawtox is the term for using BOTOX injections to slim the jawline by relaxing the masseter muscles, which play a significant role in jaw movement and strength. Doing so reduces both their activity and size over a few weeks, and as the muscle gradually shrinks, the jawline appears slimmer and more defined.

Masseter BOTOX isn’t only a tool for jaw contouring; it’s also a highly effective treatment for TMJ symptoms and bruxism. TMJ, or temporomandibular joint disorder, causes pain and tension in the jaw and can lead to headaches, especially from clenching and grinding. Jawtox helps alleviate this discomfort by relaxing the masseter muscles, giving you the freedom to enjoy life without constant jaw pain or pressure.

Who is an Ideal Candidate for Jaw Slimming with Masseter BOTOX?

Masseter BOTOX is a versatile treatment that suits both aesthetic and medical needs. It’s ideal for:

  • TMJ and Jaw Tension Relief: People experiencing jaw pain, tension headaches, or discomfort from TMJ disorders.
  • Bruxism Relief: Those who grind or clench their teeth at night or during stress can find relief as Botox relaxes the masseter muscles, reducing the tension that causes teeth grinding.
  • Jawline Contouring: Individuals with a broad or square jaw shape looking to achieve a more defined jawline.

Benefits of Jaw Slimming with Masseter BOTOX

  • Achieve a more defined jawline without incisions or downtime
  • Improve your appearance while gaining relief from jaw-related discomfort
  • The slimming effect occurs subtly over time, ensuring a natural look
  • Treatments take less than 30 minutes and require minimal downtime
  • Results can last three to six months, with ongoing treatments gradually extending the longevity

What to Expect Before, During, and After Your Jawtox Treatment

Consultation

Our experts will evaluate your masseter muscles during your consultation and discuss your aesthetic or therapeutic goals. This allows us to customize the treatment for the best possible outcome.

Procedure

The actual injections are quick and precise, and the sensation is usually mild. If you prefer, a topical anesthetic can be applied for additional comfort.

Recovery

After the treatment, most patients experience minimal downtime and can resume their daily activities immediately. Any slight redness or swelling around the injection sites is temporary and should resolve quickly.

Results

For individuals seeking relief from TMJ or bruxism symptoms, improvement usually begins within a few days as the muscles relax. The added benefit of slimming the masseter muscle becomes noticeable over several weeks as the masseter muscles reduce in size, resulting in a more contoured jawline.

Masseter BOTOX results typically last three to six months, and repeat treatments are recommended to maintain aesthetic and functional benefits.
