#masseterbotox can be a game changer for patients who chronically clench or grind their teeth. By relaxing the bulky chewing muscle at the back of the jawline (the masseter), often patients will get significant relief within a week of their treatment. Now, not everyone is a candidate for this intervention, and I generally want these patients to also be plugged in with a dentist to ensure that they have a night guard or other dental appliance to help prevent clenching and grinding (these interventions can be complimentary to one another). It’s also SO important to see an injector that’s experienced in treating this area in order to get optimal results. Of note, many people don’t clench or grind, but happen to have genetically large masseter muscles that make their face appear more boxy or round. Injecting their masseter muscles can reduce the volume at the back of their jawline and help slim or rebalance their face. Have you had masseter Botox? Thinking about it?
