Masseter Treatment (Jawline Slimming)

Jaw Slimming · Facial Contouring · TMJ Relief

Masseter Botox is a highly effective non-surgical treatment designed to slim the jawline, soften a square facial appearance, and relieve jaw tension or teeth grinding (bruxism). By targeting the masseter muscle—the strong, bulky muscle at the back of the jaw—this procedure helps achieve a more V-shaped, feminine lower face while also offering therapeutic benefits for those with tension-related discomfort.

Whether your goal is aesthetic reshaping or functional relief, Masseter Botox offers a subtle yet powerful transformation with minimal downtime.

What Can Masseter Botox Help With?

Slimming a square or bulky jawline
Softening a strong, masculine lower face
Creating a more feminine, V-shaped contour
Reducing the appearance of a wide lower face in photos
Treating bruxism (teeth grinding) or jaw clenching
Relieving symptoms of TMJ (temporomandibular joint) dysfunction such as headaches, tension, and jaw soreness

How It Works

Botulinum toxin is precisely injected into the masseter muscle, which is responsible for chewing and clenching. The Botox temporarily relaxes the muscle, reducing its size and activity over time.

Facial slimming: As the masseter muscle gradually weakens, the lower face appears softer and more contoured, without altering bone structure.
Therapeutic relief: For those suffering from jaw tension, Botox alleviates clenching and grinding, easing associated symptoms like tension headaches and jaw pain.
Treatment time: 15–20 minutes
Anaesthesia: Not required; mild discomfort at injection site
Number of injections: Typically 3–6 per side, depending on muscle size

Longevity

You’ll start noticing softening and contouring within 2 to 4 weeks after treatment.
The effects typically last 4 to 6 months, depending on your metabolism and muscle activity. Regular treatments may gradually reduce muscle bulk long term, with less frequent touch-ups over time.

Aftercare Tips

To ensure the best results and reduce side effects:

Avoid rubbing or massaging the jaw area for 24 hours
Refrain from lying down or exercising for 4–6 hours post-treatment
Avoid excessive chewing (e.g., gum or tough meats) for the first few days
Do not apply pressure (e.g., sleeping on your face) for 24 hours
Minor swelling or soreness at the injection site is normal and should subside quickly.
Follow any personalised instructions provided during your appointment.
