Masseter Botox is a treatment that targets the masseter muscle, which plays a crucial role in functions such as chewing. The muscle also connects the lower jaw to the cheekbone. An overactivity or enlargement of this muscle can lead to a square jaw appearance or issues such as teeth grinding, otherwise known as bruxism, or TMJ disorders, leading to stiffness and pain around the ear, temple and jaw.
The masseter Botox treatment involves injecting botulinum toxin type A into the masseter muscles. This helps to relax the muscle, resulting in a gradual reduction in size over time. The procedure can also have aesthetic functions, helping to minimise the appearance of the jaw.
Masseter Botox treatments have various functions. In all functions, the treatment is minimally invasive and only takes a few minutes to complete. Some of the applications of masseter Botox injections include:
Besides the cosmetic applications, masseter Botox injections can be used for medical reasons, as well as addressing bruxism or teeth grinding. The condition involves grinding of the teeth and jaw clenching, which can occur while awake or asleep, and is more common in children.
Traditional treatments such as mouth guards, medications and Cognitive behavioural therapy have been used, but injecting Botox into the masseter muscle has been found to be more effective. Botox helps to reduce the grinding force and frequency of bruxism and minimises pain.
The temporomandibular joints connect both sides of the jaw to the head. Problems can occur affecting these joints and muscles. Most temporomandibular disorders or TMDs are caused by jaw injury, teeth grinding, jaw clenching and arthritis.
If you suffer from TMDs, you might notice the following symptoms:
The majority of our masseter Botox treatments are for cosmetic applications. Over time, the masseter muscle can become enlarged, giving you a more pronounced and square-shaped jawline.
Our specialists can inject Botox into the masseter muscles to relax the muscle and help reduce the mass of the muscle. This leads to a softer appearance that is slimmer with a more oval or round face.
Masseter Botox treatments have numerous advantages, which is why they have continued to garner popularity. Some of the benefits of getting masseter Botox include the following:
The treatment is minimally invasive and does not require any downtime. We can complete the injections in a matter of minutes and only require you to avoid strenuous work or exercise while the Botox sets in. Most people are able to get back to work immediately after the procedure, making it ideal if you don’t want to lose any working time.
If you want to avoid going under the knife for procedures like jawline shaving, masseter Botox injections are the best option for you. There are no incisions involved, and a significant recovery period is not required.
Another reason to get masseter Botox injections is that the procedure is well-tolerated and not considered painful. There is some discomfort during the injections, but most clients describe it as a pinching feeling that is easily tolerable.
If you’re worried about the pain, we can discuss using a numbing cream during the consultation to make the experience even more comfortable.
Masseter Botox delivers noticeable results by reducing the size of the masseter muscle and creating a softer, more balanced facial appearance.
When used for therapeutic applications, masseter Botox also delivers noticeable results, helping to reduce the intensity of teeth grinding, protecting your teeth from wear and tear and helping to reduce stiffness.
Even though Botox treatments are temporary, they last a long time before you need retreatment. Masseter Botox can last several months, maintaining aesthetic benefits and sustained relief before you need retreatment.
I have been a returning customer to Artistry Clinic for a number of years. My first treatment was for nose reshaping, I was so happy with the results, I have since returned multiple times and have expanded to receive other filler based treatment. I am always made to feel comfortable and have absolute confidence in the results every time.
Your treatment will start with a consultation and assessment. During the consultation, we will review your medical history and any other relevant documents you may have brought with you. We will also evaluate your jaw, check the muscle size, and symmetry. This will help to determine how much Botox should be injected and the most suitable sites for the injections.
The injection part of the treatment is the shortest, often lasting a few minutes. Once the injections are completed, the specialist will provide some post-procedure guidelines that you should follow closely to maximise the benefits of the treatment.
The results at our clinic for Botox treatment typically last around 4 to 6 months. Although our City of London clients have reported that their results last up to 9 months, it is important to keep in mind that each individual may experience different results.
Some factors that can affect how long your results will last include: age, how your body metabolizes Botox, environmental factors such as sun exposure, and how often you receive treatment.

How Long Does the Treatment Take?
The procedure usually takes less than ten minutes. The Botox will then be injected into several places for example your forehead with a very fine needle. The procedure is generally painless, though you may feel a slight sting or pinch.
Will I need any downtime?
After receiving injections, it’s best to avoid any strenuous activity such as exercise or bending over for the rest of the day. This helps prevent bruising. You can return immediately to other activities without downtime or restrictions on what you can do; however, you should plan on taking it easy for at least one hour after.
You may schedule an appointment to come in before or after work, or even during your lunch hour if you are close to our Harley St or Central London Clinic.
