Masseter Botox in Verona NJ
Botox for Masseter Muscle for TMJ & Jaw Slimming
Masseter Botox is a non-surgical treatment designed to relax strong jaw muscles that can contribute to jaw tension, teeth grinding, TMJ-related discomfort, and a wider lower face.
What Is Masseter Botox?
Relax overactive jaw muscles with a precise, non-surgical treatment.
The masseter muscles are the powerful muscles on each side of your jaw that help you chew. When these muscles become enlarged or overactive from clenching, grinding, or tension, they may affect comfort and facial shape.
By placing Botox directly into the masseter muscles, we can help relax the area and gradually create a softer, slimmer facial appearance.
Common Concerns
- Jaw tightness
- TMJ-related discomfort
- Teeth grinding or clenching
- Headaches from jaw tension
- A wider or more square-shaped jawline

Jaw tension may begin improving within several days, while facial slimming usually develops more gradually over several weeks as the treated muscle relaxes.
How long does Masseter Botox last?
Results commonly last about 3 to 4 months. The exact duration depends on muscle strength, dose, metabolism, and whether you continue clenching or grinding.
