Masseter Botox Treatment
Reduce jaw tension and soften facial shape with expert care at Tinkable
If you clench your jaw, grind your teeth at night, or feel your lower face looks wider or squarer than you’d like, masseter Botox can help with both.
The masseters are the powerful chewing muscles at the angle of your jaw. When they become overactive, often through stress related clenching or grinding (bruxism), they can cause daily tension, jaw ache and headaches, and over time they bulk up, making the lower face look heavier.
This Botox treatment gently relaxes the masseters, easing the discomfort while allowing the jawline to soften naturally.
Every treatment at Tinkable is carried out by an experienced medical practitioner, and your consultation is always free.
Why masseter botox can make a real difference
Many people clench or grind without realising it, often in their sleep, and only notice the effects……waking with a tight jaw, tension headaches, aching when chewing, or a dentist pointing out worn teeth.
Constant overuse also makes the masseter muscle grow larger, the same way any muscle does with exercise, which is why a clenching habit can gradually change the shape of the lower face.
Masseter Botox calms this overactivity. The relief comes first. Most people feel the tension and clenching ease within one to two weeks. The facial change follows more slowly, once the muscle stops overworking, it gradually reduces in size over several weeks, softening a square or bulky jawline into a slimmer, more balanced shape. Because the change comes from the muscle itself rather than anything added, the result looks completely natural.
Normal chewing and expression are unaffected. The masseters keep more than enough strength for everyday eating.
