What is masseter botox?
Masseter botox is a medical aesthetics procedure based on injecting botulinum toxin in controlled doses into the masseter (chewing) muscle, applied for both functional and aesthetic purposes. The aim is not to disable the muscle completely, but to balance its overactivity and help reduce the habit of jaw clenching.
Jaw clenching, nighttime teeth grinding (bruxism) and overworking of the jaw muscles can lead to complaints such as morning jaw pain, headaches or tooth sensitivity. Over time, a thickened masseter muscle may give the lower third of the face a more square and wider appearance.
Botulinum toxin temporarily reduces the signals transmitted from the nerve endings to the muscle. As a result, excessive contraction of the muscle decreases, involuntary teeth clenching may ease, and a reduction in muscle volume may be seen over time. The muscle is not fully paralysed; the person continues to carry out daily chewing functions. The decision to apply the treatment is always made after examination by a specialist physician.
- May help reduce teeth-clenching (bruxism) complaints

- Requires no surgery, is completed in about 10-15 minutes on average, and can be applied without interrupting daily life
