Masseter Muscle Botox

At Oracle Aesthetics, Nurse Ness offers expertise in Masseter Botox treatments, providing a solution for those aiming to enhance their facial features while alleviating discomfort associated with jaw tension and pain. The masseter muscle is one of the strongest muscles in the human body, crucial for jaw movement and chewing. It works in tandem with other facial muscles, such as the temporalis and temporal muscles, to facilitate these actions. However, when the masseter muscle becomes overactive, it can lead to jaw pain, temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders, and impact facial expressions.

 

Ness performs Masseter Botox treatments at our clinics in both Newcastle and Carlisle, helping to relax the masseter muscle, reduce discomfort, and improve facial contour for a more balanced, youthful appearance.

How Masseter Botox Works


masseter botox

Masseter Botox involves the injection of botulinum toxin type A into the masseter muscles. This neurotoxin blocks nerve signals that cause muscle contraction, resulting in muscle relaxation and a decrease in muscle activity. Over time, this leads to a reduction in the masseter muscle’s volume, which can help achieve a slimmer jawline and relieve jaw pain associated with TMJ disorders and bruxism (teeth grinding).

 

Jaw Pain Relief: By relaxing the masseter muscles, Botox helps alleviate discomfort associated with TMJ disorders and bruxism, improving overall quality of life.

Facial Aesthetics: Masseter Botox is ideal for those seeking a more delicate jawline or a reduction in the square appearance of the jaw. Reducing the masseter muscle’s volume results in a more contoured and refined jawline.

Non-Surgical Approach: Unlike surgical procedures for jawline contouring, Masseter Botox is minimally invasive and involves little to no downtime. The procedure involves small injections into the masseter muscles, with a typically short recovery period.

How Botox Can Help with Nasolabial Folds and Marionette Lines

During a Masseter Botox treatment with Nurse Ness, the injection sites are carefully selected based on the patient’s facial anatomy and desired outcomes. The procedure usually takes around 15-30 minutes, with most patients experiencing minimal discomfort. Nurse Ness’s expertise ensures that the treatment is targeted effectively, addressing the muscles responsible for jaw tension and overactivity.

Recovery and Results

 

Following the treatment, patients can generally return to normal physical activities immediately, although it is advisable to avoid strenuous activities for the first 24 hours. The results from Masseter Botox are not immediate, as the botulinum toxin requires time to reduce muscle activity. Most patients notice a reduction in muscle tension and an improvement in facial aesthetics within 1-2 weeks.

Potential Side Effects and Considerations

 

As with any cosmetic procedure, there are potential side effects to consider. Some patients may experience temporary muscle weakness, facial asymmetry, or mild allergic reactions at the injection sites. These effects are typically short-lived and resolve within a few days to weeks. It’s essential to discuss any concerns with Nurse Ness before treatment to ensure the best possible outcome.

Long-Term Effects and Maintenance

 

Masseter Botox is not a permanent solution, and maintenance treatments may be necessary to sustain results. The effects of botulinum toxin usually last between 3-6 months, with repeated treatments leading to prolonged muscle relaxation and jawline slimming. Regular follow-up treatments can help in maintaining the desired facial features and alleviating jaw-related discomfort.

Who Can Benefit from Masseter Botox?

 

  • Individuals with an overactive masseter muscle resulting in a square jawline
  • Patients suffering from jaw pain, TMJ disorders, or bruxism
  • Those seeking a non-surgical method for facial muscle relaxation and aesthetic enhancement
  • People desiring a more refined or contoured jawline
