Masseter Botox

At MediCape Health, Masseter Botox is a highly effective, non-surgical treatment used to slim the jawline, relieve teeth grinding (bruxism), and reduce tension in the lower face. By relaxing the masseter muscles on both sides of the jaw, this procedure creates a softer and more balanced facial appearance while improving overall comfort.

Masseter Botox About

What Is Masseter Botox?

Masseter Botox is an injectable treatment that targets the masseter muscles, located at the back of the jaw, to reduce their size and activity.

This treatment is popular for both medical and aesthetic purposes.

Masseter Botox helps with:

Jawline slimming (V-line effect)

Teeth grinding (bruxism)

Jaw tension & clenching

Headaches caused by tight jaw muscles

Facial asymmetry from enlarged masseter muscles

The treatment is quick, minimally invasive, and requires no downtime.

You may be a suitable candidate if you experience:

Strong or enlarged jaw muscles

Square or overly wide jawline

Chronic teeth grinding (especially during sleep)

TMJ-related tension or discomfort

Masseter Botox is safe for most healthy adults and offers both aesthetic and functional benefits.
