Masseter Botox, sometimes called jawline Botox, involves injecting botulinum toxin into the masseter, the large chewing muscle at the angle of the jaw, to reduce its activity and bulk over time.

• As the muscle relaxes and reduces in size, the lower face appears slimmer and more tapered. This is the basis of jawline slimming with Botox
• Botox jaw slimming works gradually, with visible results developing over two to six weeks as the masseter responds to the treatment
• The same mechanism also reduces the force behind teeth grinding and jaw clenching
• The effect is temporary and typically lasts between three and six months, though many patients find they need treatment less frequently over time

Masseter Botox is suitable for adults who experience teeth grinding, jaw clenching, or facial pain linked to an overactive masseter muscle. According to the NHS, teeth grinding is often related to stress or anxiety and can cause jaw pain, worn or broken teeth, and, in some cases, temporomandibular disorder.

• Patients seeking facial slimming where the jaw appears wide due to masseter bulk rather than bone structure
• People with sleep bruxism or awake bruxism causing dental wear, facial pain, or disrupted sleep
• Patients who have not responded fully to a mouth guard or splint and are looking for an additional option
• Adults in good general health with no contraindications to botulinum toxin

Your clinician will assess your suitability during the consultation before any treatment is agreed.

Results from masseter Botox typically last between three and six months, depending on muscle size, dosage, and individual metabolism.

• For bruxism relief, many patients notice reduced jaw pain and headaches within two to four weeks
• For jaw slimming, visible changes to the facial profile are typically seen from six weeks onwards
• Patients with larger or more active masseter muscles may see more pronounced results after a second or third treatment
• Your clinician will advise on the right treatment interval for your goals and response

Yes, when administered by a qualified medical professional. In the UK, botulinum toxin is a prescription-only medicine regulated by the MHRA, meaning it must be prescribed and administered under the supervision of an authorised clinician. At SABA Health Clinic, all procedures are performed by Dr Asis Behura, a Consultant Anaesthetist and our Aesthetic Lead, in line with JCCP standards for non-surgical cosmetic procedures.

• Botulinum toxin for masseter reduction has been used clinically for bruxism and facial slimming for many years
• Temporary side effects such as mild bruising, swelling, or localised tenderness can occur and typically resolve quickly
• Rare side effects, including asymmetry or localised muscle weakness, are minimised through careful anatomy assessment and precise dosing
• Your full medical history and any contraindications will be discussed at your consultation before treatment proceeds
