Masseter Botox

What is Masseter Botox?

Masseter Botox in Northern Virginia is one of the most effective non-surgical options for reshaping the jawline while also relieving jaw discomfort. The masseter muscles, located along the sides of your jaw, can become enlarged over time due to teeth grinding, jaw clenching, or genetics. This can lead to a broader face and symptoms such as jaw tension or headaches.

Masseter Botox works by relaxing these overactive muscles. As the muscles gradually reduce in size, the lower face takes on a softer appearance. At the same time, many patients experience relief from jaw discomfort caused by clenching or grinding. Whether your goal is facial slimming, improved facial balance, or relief from jaw pain, this treatment offers noticeable results without surgery or downtime.

“So far so good! I didn’t know what to expect from day one. I was nervous.but from the moment I walked in. But, there was warmth in the atmosphere and in all honesty the nurse makes it prominent. She is personable and easy to talk to. When I met Dr Davidson I felt he was legitimately answering my questions and addressing my issues with genuine honesty and concern. Will be returning!!”

Am I a Good Candidate for Masseter Botox?

You may be an excellent candidate if you:

  • Want to slim and contour the jawline without surgery
  • Experience jaw tension, teeth grinding, or TMJ-related discomfort
  • Prefer a quick, non-invasive treatment with little to no downtime
  • Are in good overall health and not pregnant or breastfeeding
  • Have realistic expectations for results

During your consultation, we will review your medical history and examine your jaw muscles to confirm if Masseter Botox is the best choice for your needs.

Benefits of Masseter Botox

Masseter Botox offers both cosmetic and therapeutic benefits including:

  • A slimmer lower face
  • Softer and balanced facial contours
  • Relief from jaw tension and teeth grinding (bruxism)
  • In-office treatment that often takes 15 minutes or less
  • No surgery, incisions, or significant downtime
  • Results that develop gradually

The Masseter Botox Procedure

Your treatment begins with a consultation to determine the ideal injection sites and dosage for your treatment goals. Using a fine needle, Botox is injected directly into the masseter muscles on each side of your jaw. Most patients experience minimal discomfort, and the entire appointment is typically completed in under 15 minutes. After your procedure, you can return to your normal routine immediately, though we may recommend avoiding exercise or lying flat for a few hours to ensure the product does not migrate to other areas of your face.

Masseter Botox Results

You will start noticing reduced jaw discomfort within days, with cosmetic changes, such as a softer jawline, developing gradually over four to six weeks as the muscles relax and decrease in size. Results typically last four to six months, and regular maintenance treatments can help maintain your results and minimize discomfort.
