Typically Botox and other neuromodulators (like Dysport, Xeomin, and Jeuveau) are used to decrease wrinkles. With masseter Botox, the neuromodulator causes atrophy of the masseter (chewing) muscle, which can slim the face. Because it’s also relieving tension in that muscle, it can help with clenching, TMJ (temporomandibular joint) pain as well as headaches. Many of us hold stress in our jaw muscles without even realizing it.
It’s important to go to an experienced injector who knows what layers to inject and who knows the anatomy (to avoid an asymmetric smile!)
