Masseter Botox, Nottingham
Slim. Shape. Define.
Whether you’re seeking a more V-shaped face or relief from teeth grinding and jaw pain, Masseter Botox at Second Look Aesthetics offers a powerful, subtle transformation, both aesthetic and therapeutic.
The masseter is one of the main muscles used for chewing, and when overactive, it can cause jaw tension, teeth grinding (bruxism), and a square or overly wide jawline.
Masseter Botox works by gently relaxing this muscle to reduce bulk and soften its appearance. The result? A slimmer, more feminine facial shape and significant relief from clenching, tension headaches, and TMJ symptoms.
- Slim and Contour the Jawline, creating a more tapered, V-shaped lower face
- Ease discomfort caused by clenching and bruxism
- No surgery, no downtime, just a natural refinement
- Therapeutic and cosmetic benefits in one treatment
- Fast and minimally Invasive – In and out in under 30 minutes

Following this, we will recommend the appropriate number of masseter Botox treatments for optimum results and administer the treatment.
When will I see the Masseter Botox results, and how long do they last?
It will take around 14 days for you to see the full results of your treatment. In some cases, we recommend repeat treatments to further shrink the masseter muscle, dependent on how large it is initially.
Your results after the application of Botox in Nottingham will last 5-6 months. This will vary depending on the individual client, as someone with a stronger muscle will find they do not last as long, while someone with a weaker muscle may find they last longer. The more treatments that you have, the longer your results will last as the muscle gradually weakens over time.
Are there any side effects to Masseter Botox Treatments?
Most clients experience minimal to no side effects. You may notice mild swelling and tenderness in the area in the days following your treatment. You may notice your ability to chew is mildly affected for 1-2 days following treatment. Most clients experience no downtime and any symptoms can be easily managed with over-the-counter medication. We will provide full aftercare instructions following your treatment and our team is on hand to assist at any point should you have any discomfort or concerns.
Is Masseter Botox filler painful?
This masseter Botox treatment is virtually completely painless. You may feel a slight scratch during injection, however as the area being treated is not sensitive any pain will be very minor. Most clients find they do not need numbing cream for this treatment; however, we can numb the area if preferred to make you more comfortable.
