Q: How long do the effects of Masseter Botox typically last?

The effects of masseter Botox typically last 3-4 months. The exact timing can depend on the dosage, your metabolism, and how much you use your masseter muscles.

Q: Am I a suitable candidate for Masseter Botox treatment?

Q: Are there any side effects or downtime associated with Masseter Botox?

As with any treatment, there are some side effects with masseter Botox. You may experience some swelling, bruising, numbness, and temporary weakness. As for downtime, you can go back to your normal routine immediately.

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.

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.
