Masseter BOTOX can help reduce the size of enlarged masseter muscles, resulting in a slimmer and more contoured jawline.
What are Masseters and how can BOTOX help treat them?
The masseter muscles are the primary muscles responsible for chewing and are located at the sides of the jawline. When these muscles become enlarged, they can create a square or wide jawline appearance, which some individuals may find aesthetically unpleasing. Enlarged masseter muscles can be caused by several factors, including genetics, teeth grinding (bruxism), and excessive chewing.
Masseter BOTOX injections involve injecting small amounts of the neurotoxin into the masseter muscles. The toxin works by temporarily blocking the release of acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter that signals muscle contractions. By inhibiting the muscle contractions, BOTOX helps relax and weaken the masseter muscles, leading to a reduction in their size and a more slender, contoured jawline.
