Introduction

I’m Dr. Mahnoor, a dermatologist and skincare expert. Many patients ask me about Masseter Botox for jaw slimming or teeth grinding. While this treatment is safe and effective, it’s important to understand how it works, potential side effects, and what to expect.


What is Masseter Botox?

Masseter Botox involves injecting a small amount of botulinum toxin into the masseter muscles of the jaw. This helps:

  • Reduce muscle bulk for a slimmer jawline

  • Relieve teeth grinding (bruxism)

  • Improve facial balance

It is a non-surgical, minimally invasive procedure, but the results depend on dosage, technique, and individual anatomy.


Benefits of Masseter Botox

  1. Non-surgical jawline slimming

  2. Relief from jaw pain and teeth grinding

  3. Quick procedure with minimal downtime


Possible Risks and Considerations

  • Temporary asymmetry of facial expressions

  • Changes in chewing efficiency if overdosed

  • Results are not permanent; repeat treatments may be required

Tip: Always consult a qualified dermatologist or cosmetic expert for personalized guidance.


My Advice as a Dermatologist

From my experience, most patients benefit when:

  • Proper dosage is applied

  • Follow-up appointments are scheduled

  • Realistic expectations are set before treatment
