Masseter Injections using Botox (botulinum toxin) are a popular non-surgical treatment for aesthetic purposes, aimed at slimming the face and creating a more defined, V-shaped jawline. The masseter muscles, located on each side of the jaw, are responsible for chewing and can sometimes become enlarged due to overuse (from teeth grinding or clenching). Botox injections in the masseter muscles relax them, reducing their size over time.
Key Aesthetic Benefits of Masseter Injections:
- Facial Slimming: Reduces the width of the lower face, creating a more tapered, slender appearance.
- Jawline Definition: Enhances the definition of the jawline by softening a square or bulky jaw.
- Non-Invasive Alternative: Offers a non-surgical option for contouring the face without the need for more invasive procedures like jaw reduction surgery.
- Teeth Grinding Relief (Bonus): While primarily for aesthetics, it can also help reduce teeth grinding (bruxism), which can contribute to facial muscle enlargement.
Ideal Candidate:
- Individuals with a square or broad jawline looking for a slimmer, more feminine facial appearance.
- Those who want a non-surgical approach to facial contouring.
- People with overactive or enlarged masseter muscles due to teeth grinding or clenching.
