What is masseter botox?

Masseter botox refers to the use of botulinum toxin injections to reduce the size and activity of the masseter muscles located in the jaw area. Masseter botox is commonly used to treat a condition called bruxism, which is excessive clenching or grinding of the teeth. This condition can lead to jaw pain, headaches, and tooth damage. Masseter botox injections help to weaken the muscles responsible for the grinding and clenching, reducing the symptoms of bruxism. Additionally, masseter botox can also be used for aesthetic purposes, as it can improve the appearance of a square-shaped jawline by reducing the size of the masseter muscles. The effects of masseter botox typically last around 3-6 months and require repeated injections for continued results. It is essential to receive these injections from a qualified and experienced medical professional to avoid potential complications.
