One Treatment.
Two Life-Changing Results.

Masseter Botox is unique among aesthetic treatments — it delivers meaningful cosmetic results AND significant functional relief. Many clients come in for one benefit and are thrilled to discover the other.

Aesthetic benefit
Jaw Slimming & Face Sculpting

As the masseter relaxes and reduces in size, the lower face gradually slims — softening a wide or square jaw into a more oval or heart-shaped profile. Results become visible at 4–6 weeks and continue improving over 2–3 months as the muscle reduces in bulk.

Therapeutic benefit
TMJ Relief & Bruxism Treatment

Masseter Botox is one of the most effective non-surgical treatments for jaw clenching (bruxism) and TMJ dysfunction. By reducing the muscle's force, it relieves the tension, headaches, tooth damage, and facial pain that chronic clenching causes — often within 1–2 weeks.

What Jaw Slimming
Botox Can Do

The masseter is the powerful muscle that runs along your jaw — the one you can feel flexing when you clench. When enlarged through genetics, stress-clenching, or habits like gum chewing, it creates a wide, squared lower face. Botox gradually reduces the muscle's bulk, revealing a slimmer, more defined jawline beneath.

Slims a wide or square jaw

Creates a softer, more oval facial silhouette — one of the most requested facial contouring results in aesthetic medicine.

Defines the jawline

By reducing the bulk of the masseter, the natural bone structure of the jaw becomes more visible and prominent.

Creates a more feminine or balanced profile

Popular with clients wanting a softer lower face — particularly effective when combined with neck band Botox for full lower face refinement.

Results improve with consistent treatment

With repeated appointments, the masseter muscle gradually reduces further — meaning less product needed and longer-lasting results over time.

Relief from
Jaw Pain & Clenching

If you grind your teeth at night, clench your jaw under stress, or wake up with jaw tension and headaches — masseter Botox can be genuinely life-changing. It doesn't just mask the symptoms; it addresses the root cause by reducing the force the masseter can generate.

Reduces teeth grinding (bruxism)

Dramatically lowers the force of nocturnal grinding — protecting your teeth and dental work from long-term damage.

Relieves TMJ pain and tension headaches

Many clients report complete or near-complete relief from jaw tension and associated headaches within 2 weeks of treatment.

Lasts longer than other Botox areas

Because the masseter is a large, strong muscle, masseter Botox typically lasts 4–6 months — significantly longer than forehead or crow's feet treatments.

No surgery, no recovery

Achieves results that previously required surgery or night guards — with a 20–30 minute appointment and zero downtime.

Your Masseter Botox
Timeline

Masseter Botox results develop more gradually than other facial Botox treatments — because muscle reduction takes time. Here's exactly what to expect from appointment to final result.

1
Day of treatment
Quick, comfortable appointment

Paige assesses your masseter muscle mass on both sides, marks injection points, and administers Botox in 4–6 precise injections per side. 20–30 minutes total. Mild tenderness at injection sites is normal and resolves quickly.

2
Days 3–7
TMJ & clenching relief begins

Most clients notice reduced jaw tension and clenching force within the first week. Therapeutic relief often precedes the cosmetic slimming results by several weeks.

3
Weeks 4–6
Jawline slimming becomes visible

As the masseter muscle loses bulk, you'll notice the lower face visibly softening and narrowing. Full cosmetic results continue developing through week 8–12.

4
Months 4–6
Maintain & improve

Results last 4–6 months. With consistent treatment, the masseter gradually reduces further over time — requiring less product and delivering longer-lasting results with each appointment.

Important to know
Paige's clinical background makes this treatment safer

The masseter injection requires precise placement to avoid the parotid gland and nearby vascular structures. Paige's specialized training under a Wichita vascular surgeon — combined with 11+ years of clinical nursing — gives her an anatomical understanding of the jaw region that most aesthetic injectors simply don't have. This matters when your face is involved.

Do You Clench or
Grind Your Teeth?
Botox Can Help.

Bruxism (teeth grinding) and TMJ dysfunction affect millions of people — many without realizing it. The masseter muscle is directly responsible for the grinding force, and Botox is one of the most effective treatments available for lasting relief.

You may be a candidate for masseter Botox if you experience any of the following:

Jaw pain, tightness, or fatigue — especially in the morning
Headaches that originate at the temples or jaw
Grinding or clenching teeth at night (bruxism)
Clicking, popping, or locking of the jaw joint
Worn, flattened, or chipped teeth from grinding
Ear pain or fullness without an ear infection
A noticeably wide or square lower face from overdeveloped masseters
How it works
Botox reduces the force, not the function

A common concern: will Botox affect my ability to chew? The answer is no. Masseter Botox is dosed to reduce the muscle's bulk and clenching force — not to eliminate its function. You will chew, speak, and smile completely normally. The muscle simply can no longer generate the extreme force that causes grinding damage and pain.

Significant reduction in grinding force within 1–2 weeks
Jaw tension and headache relief often reported within days
Normal chewing and speaking function preserved throughout
Results last 4–6 months — longer than most Botox treatments
Can be combined with a night guard for maximum protection

Masseter Botox FAQ —
Wichita, KS

Masseter Botox involves injecting Botox into the masseter muscles — the large muscles on either side of your jaw responsible for chewing and clenching. The Botox relaxes these muscles, causing them to reduce in size over several weeks. This slims the lower face and jaw, and also dramatically reduces the force of clenching and grinding.
Masseter treatments typically require 20–40 units per side (40–80 units total), depending on muscle size and strength. At ICT Tox, Botox is $11/unit — making a typical masseter treatment $440–$880. Paige will assess your muscle mass and give you an exact cost estimate before treatment begins. See full pricing FAQ →
Masseter Botox typically lasts 4–6 months — longer than most other treatment areas because the masseter is a large, strong muscle. With consistent treatment over time, the muscle gradually reduces in size and results tend to last longer, with less product needed per appointment.
TMJ relief and reduced clenching typically begins within 1–2 weeks. Visible jaw slimming becomes noticeable at 4–6 weeks as the muscle reduces in bulk, with full cosmetic results at 8–12 weeks. The aesthetic results develop more gradually than other Botox areas — but they're also more dramatic and longer-lasting.
Yes — completely. Masseter Botox reduces the muscle's bulk and clenching force, not its function. You will chew, speak, and smile completely normally throughout your treatment. Some clients notice very hard foods feel slightly different for the first few weeks, but normal eating is not affected.
Typically 20–40 units per side (40–80 total), depending on the size and strength of your masseter muscles. Paige will palpate (feel) your masseter during the consultation to assess muscle mass and determine the appropriate dose for your anatomy and goals.
No downtime. You may notice mild tenderness at injection sites for 24–48 hours. Avoid chewing gum or hard foods for the first 24 hours after treatment, and skip strenuous exercise for 24 hours. You can return to work and normal activities immediately.
Yes — masseter Botox pairs beautifully with neck band Botox for complete lower face refinement, and with a lip flip for a full facial balance appointment. It can also be combined with upper face Botox for a comprehensive treatment in one visit. Paige will help you build the right treatment plan for your goals.
