Are you looking for a non-surgical way to achieve a slimmer, more defined jawline? Masseter Botox, also known as jawline slimming Botox, is a popular treatment at Tempus Belgravia in London. This minimally invasive procedure can effectively reduce the size of the masseter muscle, resulting in a more contoured and youthful facial appearance.
What is Masseter Botox?
Masseter Botox involves injecting Botulinum Toxin Type A into the masseter muscle, a large muscle responsible for chewing, located at the angle of the jaw. By relaxing this muscle, Masseter Botox can slim down the lower face, creating a more oval and feminine appearance.
Benefits of Masseter Botox
Masseter Botox offers both aesthetic and therapeutic benefits:
Aesthetic Benefits:
- Slimmer Jawline: Reduces the width of the jaw, creating a more defined and elegant jawline.
- Facial Contouring: Improves overall facial aesthetics by slimming the lower face, resulting in a more balanced and harmonious look.
- Reduced Appearance of Jowls: Can soften the appearance of jowls for a more youthful profile.
Therapeutic Benefits:
- Teeth Grinding Relief (Bruxism): Relaxes the masseter muscle, reducing teeth grinding and clenching, which can cause jaw pain, headaches, and tooth wear.
- TMJ Disorder Relief: Can alleviate symptoms of temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders, such as jaw pain and clicking.

- Have a square or wide jawline due to an enlarged masseter muscle.
- Suffer from teeth grinding or clenching (bruxism).
