Botox for Jaw Slimming | Boston Medical Aesthetics

Botox isn’t just for smoothing wrinkles- it’s also one of the most effective treatments for jaw slimming, reducing clenching/grinding, and easing tension in the masseter muscles. At Boston Medical Aesthetics, Masseter Botox is one of our most sought-after treatments, and every appointment is fully customized by one of our highly skilled nurse injectors.

What Is Masseter Botox?

The masseters are the large chewing muscles that can become enlarged from genetics, habitual clenching, or teeth grinding. When these muscles overdevelop, they can make the face appear wider or more square.

By injecting Botox directly into the masseters, the muscles gradually relax and shrink in size. This creates a slimmer, softer, more oval face shape and can significantly reduce jaw tension, headaches, and grinding.

How the Treatment Works

Your treatment will be performed by one of our experienced nurses, all of whom are highly trained in facial anatomy and specialize in advanced Botox techniques.

At your appointment:

Your provider will assess your face shape, symptoms, and goals.
They will determine the appropriate dose based on your individual needs.
Ice or topical numbing may be used for comfort.
Botox is injected precisely into the masseter muscles on one or both sides.

Most patients feel relief from jaw tension within 1–2 weeks. Jaw-slimming effects develop gradually over 2–8 weeks as the muscle becomes less active. Results typically last 3–6 months and can be maintained with regular treatment.

Benefits of Masseter Botox

Masseter Botox offers both cosmetic and therapeutic benefits, including:

A slimmer, more contoured lower face
Reduced jaw width and improved facial symmetry
Relief from clenching, grinding (bruxism), and jaw tension
Fewer headaches related to jaw strain
Improved TMJ symptoms
Protection against wear on the teeth
Reduced stress-related clenching

Treatments take just a few minutes, involve little to no downtime, and side effects are typically minimal.

Who Is a Good Candidate?

You may be a great candidate for Masseter Botox if you:

Want a slimmer or more oval-shaped jawline
Experience jaw tension, clenching, or teeth grinding
Have enlarged masseter muscles
Prefer a nonsurgical approach to facial slimming
Have mild to moderate facial fullness that is muscle-related

Patients with significant skin laxity or fullness unrelated to muscle size may be better suited for alternative treatments. Your provider will guide you during your consultation.

How is Masseter Botox priced?

Pricing for Masseter Botox varies from patient to patient because it is based on the amount of product needed to achieve your desired results. Everyone’s masseter strength, facial anatomy, and treatment goals are different, so dosing is customized at the time of your consultation.

During your initial visit, your provider will assess your jaw muscles, discuss your goals, and recommend an appropriate treatment plan—including the exact amount of Botox needed and the associated cost—before any injections are performed.
