Masseter Botox: Slim Your Jawline and Relieve Tension with One Treatment
At Polished MedSpa, we believe beauty and wellness go hand in hand - and Masseter Botox is the perfect example of that harmony. Whether you’re looking to sculpt your jawline or find relief from chronic jaw tension - this quick, non-surgical treatment offers powerful benefits with little to no downtime.
What Is the Masseter Muscle?
The masseter is a strong, thick muscle located at the angle of your jaw. It plays a key role in chewing but can become enlarged due to teeth grinding (bruxism), jaw clenching, or genetics. For many people, an overactive masseter contributes to a square or bulky jawline and even painful symptoms like headaches, jaw soreness, and TMJ disorders.
That’s where Botox comes in.
What Is Masseter Botox?
Masseter Botox involves injecting a small amount of Botox directly into the masseter muscle. As it relaxes over the following days and weeks, the muscle reduces in size. This not only slims the jawline but can also ease tension and reduce grinding-related discomfort.
The treatment typically takes less than 15 minutes, with no downtime required - you can head right back to work or your daily routine.
Cosmetic Benefits of Masseter Botox
One of the most popular reasons clients seek Masseter Botox is to contour the lower face. If you’re noticing a wider or boxier jaw that doesn’t match the rest of your features, this treatment can help create a softer, more heart-shaped facial profile.
Unlike dermal fillers that add volume, Botox works by reducing muscle activity. Over time, this leads to a natural slimming effect. The results are subtle yet noticeable - and typically last 3 to 6 months.
Functional Relief of Masseter Botox
Masseter Botox isn’t just about looks. If you suffer from jaw clenching, grinding, or frequent tension headaches, relaxing the masseter muscle can make a dramatic difference in your comfort. Many clients report better sleep, less jaw soreness in the morning, and fewer migraines after treatment.
What to Expect
Treatment is quick and well-tolerated by most clients. You may feel a slight pinch during the injection, but it’s over in seconds. There’s minimal swelling or bruising, and most people resume normal activity immediately.
You’ll start to notice a difference in function within a week, while cosmetic slimming typically becomes visible after 4–6 weeks.
