Botox masseter

    Do you have a wide or square jawline, or grind your teeth or feel tension in your jaw? If so, you’re not alone. Many people want non-invasive solutions to give them a more defined jawline and help the pain of teeth grinding. At Second Look Aesthetics, we use a revolutionary treatment called Botox masseter injections to help you meet your aesthetic and health goals. In this article, we explain how Botox can improve your looks while relieving jaw-related conditions like bruxism (clenching/grinding your teeth) and jaw ache.



    Botox Masseter Treatment Explained



    Botox is perhaps the most famous cosmetic procedure, where botulinum toxin is injected into targeted muscles to diminish the appearance of wrinkles. But this is not just about the face; it has other advantages as well. Injection of Botox into the masseter muscle can help in achieving jawline contouring and treatment of bruxism.


    The masseter is the primary muscle with chewing and grinding food. It inserts at the back of the jaw, and when overactive can create a wide or square jawline. Botox injections can be done in this muscle to help it relax creating a more sculpted feminine jawline. Botox masseter treatment not only makes your jawline smoother but also relieves the discomfort caused by teeth grinding, which can result in headaches, jaw pain, and damaged teeth.

    Advantages of Botox for Masseter



    The clinical benefits of Botox masseter injections are great, which is why people get them for a combination of aesthetic jawline improvement and dental health. Here are the key benefits:

    1. Sculpted Jawline

    A chief reason that many patients choose Botox masseter treatment is an enhanced jawline. A well-defined, chiseled-looking jawline is what we might call a “slimmed” look from the front; this occurs when the masseter muscle is relaxed and takes up some of the tension that has been drawn around the jaw and face. It is especially helpful for the patient with a broad or square-shaped jaw due to hypertrophied masseter muscle.

    2. Eases Bruxism (Teeth Grinding)

    Bruxism or teeth grinding is a moderate condition and one of the most common teeth problems that also cause headache and jaw pain in addition to tooth damage. Injecting Botox into the masseter muscle leads to both relaxation of the masseter and decreased masseter muscle activity and contraction during teeth grinding. By targeting this root cause of tooth grinding, Botox can work towards improving your quality of life and preventing the effects of long-term bruxism.

    3. Helps With Tension and Pain in Your Jaw

    Along with teeth grinding, a lot of people experience tension or pain in their jaw, which is often due to anxiety or stress. Botox injections can give you instant relief by relaxing the masseter muscle and minimising the tension on your jaw. If you feel pain after long sessions of chewing or tightness from clenching your jaw, Botox can provide tremendous relief.

    4. Non-Surgical Alternative

    5. Safe and Effective
