Masseter relaxing Botox is a specialised treatment that targets the masseter muscle, which is located at the back of the jaw and is primarily responsible for chewing. While Botox is commonly known for its aesthetic uses in reducing wrinkles, it also has therapeutic applications, particularly in jawline contouring and alleviating discomfort associated with teeth grinding (bruxism) and jaw clenching.
When injected into the masseter muscle, Botox works by temporarily relaxing the muscle, reducing its activity. This relaxation can lead to a slimmer jawline and can also help alleviate discomfort caused by excessive muscle tension. The effects typically begin to appear within a few days and can last for three to six months.
The treatment can create a more defined and aesthetically pleasing jawline by reducing the bulk of the masseter muscle.
For individuals suffering from bruxism or teeth grinding, Botox can significantly reduce muscle tension and the associated pain in the jaw, neck, and head.
Similar to other Botox treatments, masseter injections are quick and require minimal downtime, allowing patients to resume their normal activities almost immediately.
Masseter relaxing Botox offers both aesthetic and therapeutic benefits, making it an appealing option for those looking to enhance their jawline or alleviate jaw-related discomfort. With its effectiveness and minimal recovery time, it is a valuable addition to the range of treatments available at aesthetic clinics.
Botox is injected directly into the specific muscles responsible for the wrinkles. The treatment blocks nerve signals, preventing the muscles from contracting. This effect softens the appearance of wrinkles, giving the skin a smoother, more youthful look.
