Botox in masseters
Masseter Botox is a cosmetic and functional treatment that uses botulinum toxin to relax the masseter muscles, reducing bruxism and refining the contour of the face. By reducing the strength and volume of these muscles, a more stylized, symmetrical and elongated face is achieved, ideal for those seeking to soften the square appearance of the jaw. In addition, this procedure helps relieve jaw tension-related discomfort, such as temporomandibular joint pain, headaches and tooth wear.
What is botox in the masseters and why might it be for me?
The masseter muscles are located in the lateral area of the jaw and are responsible for chewing. In some patients, these muscles are enlarged due to bruxism, accumulated tension or habits such as unconscious clenching of the teeth, which generates a wider and squared face. With the application of botulinum toxin, the masseter muscles relax progressively, reducing their size and restoring harmony to the facial contour, while improving dental health and reducing the discomfort associated with bruxism.
