How it helps control teeth grinding and jaw clenching?
The masseter is the muscle on the side of your face that aids in chewing. Botox, an injectable muscle relaxant, uses onabotulinumtoxinA to temporarily paralyze the muscle. While commonly used for anti-wrinkle treatments on the forehead and other facial areas, Botox can also be injected into the masseter muscles to provide relief from teeth grinding and jaw clenching.
In addition to managing pain, Botox in the masseter muscles can subtly alter facial features, providing a slimmer, more contoured jawline. This treatment helps relieve the tension associated with teeth clenching and grinding, offering both functional and aesthetic benefits.
Benefits:
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
This technique involves small amounts of Botox injected in different parts of the masseter muscle to provide a slight and natural reduction. Ideal for minor adjustments.
What do I need to know?
How does Masseter Botox work?
Masseter Botox is a treatment used to manage bruxism (teeth grinding) and TMD (temporomandibular joint disorder), helping to reduce clenching, pain, and tension in the jaw, as well as relieve tension headaches. It can also contour square-shaped jaws to create a more symmetrical facial shape.
How does it help manage bruxism and TMD?
How does Masseter Botox treat bruxism and TMD?
The Botox injection contains botulinum toxin, which relaxes the jaw muscles and reduces their strength. This helps alleviate symptoms like jaw, face, and neck pain, tension headaches, and tooth pain or sensitivity. It also reduces symptoms of TMD, such as limited jaw motion, TMJ pain, and jaw tightness.
The key steps
What can I expect during the treatment?
Your doctor will start by cleansing your skin to reduce the risk of infection. Topical anesthesia may be applied to ensure comfort. Botox will then be injected into the targeted areas using a thin needle, with the amount depending on the treatment area. A post-care treatment plan will be provided to help avoid infections and support recovery.
Duration of the procedure
How long does the procedure take?
The Masseter Botox procedure typically takes about 15 minutes, with an additional few minutes needed for the numbing cream to take effect before the injections begin.
Safety and comfort
Is it painful, and is it safe?
Masseter Botox is minimally painful, with numbing cream applied to ensure comfort during the injections. The procedure is generally safe, though common side effects like bruising or swelling may occur and usually subside after a few days. Serious side effects are rare but can include infection or difficulty swallowing. Choosing a qualified practitioner helps minimize these risks.
Multiple treatments for optimal results
Can I combine other treatments with Masseter Botox?
Masseter Botox can be combined with other treatments, such as chemical peels, dermal fillers, or laser therapy, for enhanced results. Consult with your dermatologist to determine the best combination to meet your aesthetic goals.
Is Masseter Botox permanent?
Is Masseter Botox a permanent solution?
Masseter Botox is not permanent. Its effects typically last 3 to 4 months, after which muscle function gradually returns to its original state. Follow-up treatments are recommended to maintain the desired results.
Post-treatment guidelines
When should I see a doctor after Masseter Botox?
If you experience symptoms of infection, such as facial swelling, severe pain, fever, or symptoms of an allergic reaction like shortness of breath or hives, contact your doctor immediately.
Can I wear makeup after the injection?
Is it safe to wear makeup after Botox?
It’s best to avoid wearing makeup for at least 24 hours after the injections to reduce the risk of infection at the injection sites.
Factors Affecting Pricing
How much does it cost?
The usual cost ranges from £199 to £1500 per session.
The price of Masseter Botox may be affected by factors like the doctor’s expertise, location, and the amount of botox needed for the treatment.
The size of the masseter muscles and the units of botox required will determine the actual cost.
To know the exact price customized to your needs, schedule a consultation with your doctor.

Is Masseter Botox Good for Me?
Masseter Botox is ideal for individuals suffering from severe bruxism, TMD (temporomandibular joint disorder), or those with a square-shaped face seeking a slimmer appearance. Botox injections are not recommended for pregnant or breastfeeding women, individuals with cow's milk protein allergy, those with neuromuscular disorders, body dysmorphia, or a history of keloid scarring, and those with unrealistic expectations. Consulting a doctor is essential to determine if Masseter Botox treatment is suitable for your needs.
Can a Risk Be Prevented?
Potential Risks: While Masseter Botox is a safe and quick procedure, it can have some side effects, similar to any cosmetic treatment. Common side effects include bruising and swelling at the injection site, which usually subside within a few days.
Moderate Risks: Side effects such as jaw tightness, spread of Botox to surrounding muscles, crooked smile, drooping, and difficulty swallowing may occasionally occur.
Rare Risks: Muscle atrophy and allergic reactions, although uncommon, are also potential risks. It’s important to discuss these with your doctor prior to treatment.
