What Is Masseter Botox?

Masseter Botox is a non-surgical treatment that relaxes the masseter muscles — the large muscles at the angle of your jaw — to create a slimmer facial profile and relieve tension.

At Esthetic Finesse in Paradise Valley, Nurse Diane Howard, RN performs precision masseter Botox treatments using Botox, Dysport, or Xeomin, customized for facial contouring or TMJ symptom relief. We proudly serve clients from Phoenix, Scottsdale, Paradise Valley, and surrounding Arizona areas.

How Does Masseter Botox Work?

  • Involves injecting Botox, Dysport, or Xeomin into the masseter muscle
  • Relaxes overactive jaw muscles to reduce clenching and grinding
  • Often used for TMJ pain, jaw tension, and facial slimming
  • Takes 10–15 minutes and requires no downtime
  • Can soften a square jawline and create a more V-shaped facial contour

Masseter Botox FAQs

Does Masseter Botox hurt?

Most clients say it feels like a few quick pinches. It’s fast and well tolerated.

How long does it last?

Results last about 3 to 4 months, depending on muscle size and activity.

Can it help with TMJ or clenching?

Yes. Many clients report less pain, fewer headaches, and more jaw mobility within 2 weeks.

Does it slim the face permanently?

Over time, repeated treatments can lead to muscle atrophy, which may maintain slimmer contours longer.

What’s the difference between masseter Botox and jaw surgery?

Botox is non-surgical, reversible, and doesn’t change bone structure — it softens the muscle volume.
