Facial Slimming Benefits

There are many ways to tackle jaw contouring if you are seeking a more chiseled appearance to your face. Botox is one of the most minimally invasive ways to slim down your jaw. Neurotoxins work by paralyzing the muscles, therefore, minimizing the size of the masseter muscle.

Botox for TMJ

Painful headaches and tension in the face are also a result of constant jaw clenching and TMJ. By injecting a neurotoxin, these muscles are relaxed and can no longer clench.

How It Works

Neurotoxins can be injected into the masseter muscle of the jaw to help contour the jawline by slimming the appearance of the muscles. This technique is also used to treat TMJ or in patients who grind their teeth at night.

Treatment can be performed with any neurotoxin such as Botox, Xeomin, Jeuveau, or Dysport. Treatment typically requires a total of 20-60units of Botox and lasts about 3-4 months.

Aftercare

You should avoid laying down for 4 hours after injections and avoid massaging the masseters after treatment. Effects typically take 7-14 days to appear.
