Tension in your jaw? Grinding your teeth? Or just looking to soften a square jawline? InjectCo offers masseter Botox treatments that deliver both medical relief and aesthetic refinement, without surgery or downtime. This powerful injectable can help slim the lower face, ease jaw discomfort, and rebalance facial features safely and effectively.
Masseter Botox involves injecting small amounts of Botox into the masseter muscle, one of the primary muscles used for chewing. Over time, the Botox relaxes the muscle, which can reduce its size and activity.
This not only helps create a more sculpted jawline but also relieves tension caused by teeth grinding (bruxism) or TMJ disorders. It’s a nonsurgical solution with both cosmetic and therapeutic benefits.
Whether you're looking to contour your jaw or stop clenching your teeth at night, masseter Botox offers a dual advantage. As the muscle softens, it creates a slimmer, V-shaped lower face while reducing tightness and jaw-related headaches.
This versatility makes it one of the most popular injectables for clients across Texas, especially those balancing appearance and function.
Unlike Botox used for forehead lines or crow’s feet, Masseter Botox is injected deeper into a larger muscle. It typically requires a higher number of units and a more specialized injection approach.
But the benefits are just as impactful. Clients notice improved facial balance, better comfort, and natural results that evolve gradually over time.
Below are some of the key reasons patients in Texas choose masseter Botox as part of their aesthetic or wellness routine.
By relaxing an overactive masseter muscle, the jawline becomes less bulky and more contoured, especially noticeable in those with a square or wide lower face.
Botox reduces clenching and grinding, alleviating symptoms like jaw pain, earaches, and tension headaches. Many patients experience significant relief after just one session.
Relaxing the masseter can bring harmony to the lower half of the face, enhancing cheekbones and creating a softer, more symmetrical profile.

Masseter Botox is used to relax the jaw muscle, reducing its size and activity. It’s commonly chosen for facial slimming, TMJ relief, and bruxism (teeth grinding). The treatment can also help reduce jaw pain and create a softer, more contoured appearance.
Yes. Masseter Botox is increasingly used in Texas to treat TMJ symptoms like jaw tightness, pain, clicking, and locking. By temporarily relaxing the overactive jaw muscle, the treatment reduces strain on the joint and helps prevent further discomfort. Many patients experience improved range of motion and fewer tension headaches.
The number of Botox units varies by individual, but most patients need 20–50 units per side for effective results. The dosage depends on factors like muscle strength, face shape, and desired level of slimming or relief. A licensed provider at InjectCo will assess your needs and customize the treatment accordingly.
Masseter Botox typically lasts 4 to 6 months, depending on how your body responds and how active the muscle is. With regular treatments, the muscle may weaken over time, leading to longer-lasting results. Some patients notice that they need fewer units or less frequent touch-ups after several sessions.
Tension relief can begin within a few days, especially for patients dealing with clenching or jaw pain. For facial slimming, early changes may be visible within the first week. However, full contouring results typically appear within 4 to 6 weeks as the masseter muscle gradually relaxes and reduces in size. Results continue to improve with consistency and follow-up care.
