Botox & Dysport
Botox for the masseter muscle, also known as jaw slimming Botox, reduces the size of the enlarged masseter muscle to create a slimmer, more tapered lower face contour. This treatment is also therapeutic for patients with bruxism (teeth grinding) and TMJ-related jaw pain. By relaxing the masseter, the muscle gradually atrophies, reducing facial width and relieving tension.

Masseter treatment typically requires 25-50 units per side, depending on muscle size and density. Men and patients with significant hypertrophy may need higher doses. Results become visible as the muscle gradually reduces in size over 4-8 weeks.
Masseter Botox lasts approximately 4-6 months. With repeated treatments, the muscle atrophies more significantly, and many patients find they can extend intervals between sessions to 6-9 months over time.
No. The dosing is calibrated to reduce bulk without impairing jaw function. You will still be able to chew normally. Some patients notice slight weakness when biting into very hard foods during the first week, which resolves quickly.
