What is a Masseter Botox?

Experience The Power

How it helps control teeth grinding and jaw clenching?

The masseter is the muscle on the side of your face that aids chewing. Botox is an injectable muscle relaxant that uses Onabotulinumtoxin A to paralyze the muscle immediately. It is usually used for anti-wrinkle treatments in forehead and other parts of the face.

However, it can change your facial features and manage the pain when injected into your masseter muscles. Teeth clenching and grinding can be relieved by injecting Botox into this muscle.

Benefits:

  • Controls teeth grinding
  • Lowers jaw clenching
  • Relieves head and jaw pain
  • Contours square jaw
  • Makes facial shape proportioned

The many types

Standard Masseter Botox

This is an injection technique where the Botox is carefully injected into the masseter muscle to help relax the jaw, treating bruxism and TMD.

Microbotox Technique

Is a technique where small amount of Botox are injected in different parts of the masseter muscle to provide a slight and natural reduction. Ideal for minor adjustments.

The procedure
Masseter Botox At Work
What do I need to know?

It can also be used to contour the square jaw-shaped faces and create create a symmetrical face shape.

Relief For Jaw Pain
How does it help manage bruxism and TMD?

A Botox injection contains botulinum toxin that helps in relaxing the jaws and weakens the masseter muscles. It helps stop teeth grinding by reducing symptoms like neck, jaw, face, and ear pain, tooth pain, or sensitivity, and tightness of the jaw, as well as the tension headache.

The Key Steps
What can I expect during the treatment?

Your doctor will start cleansing your skin to lessen the risk of infections. Topical anaesthesia may be used to make you comfortable during the injection process. A botulinum toxin will be injected on the target area using a thin needle. The amount of Botox will depend on your target area. After the process, your doctor will provide a post-care treatment plan; you have to follow it to avoid infections.

The masseter botox is a quick procedure that usually takes 15 minutes to perform. But you must add a few more minutes for a numbing cream to settle before the injection starts.

Safety And Comfortability
Is it painful?

Masseter botox is not painful. Botox is the quickest and most painless procedure in cosmetic treatment. Your doctor may apply numbing cream before the process starts, so you will not feel any pain from needle injections.

Prompt Care For Symptoms
When should I see a doctor after a Masseter botox?

You should call or visit your doctor immediately if you start experiencing symptoms of infections like facial swelling, severe pain, or fever, and also if you are suffering shortness of breath or hives, as it may be a sign of an allergic response.

Makeup-Free For 24 Hours

It is not advisable to wear makeup after any injections because bacterial infections can occur any time a needle enters the skin. To lessen the risk of infection wait for at least 24 hours before applying any makeup on your skin.
