Masseter Botox
A consultation-led discussion of masseter Botox for jaw clenching, teeth grinding, facial tension and masseter muscle concerns — performed only where suitable.
What is masseter Botox?
Masseter Botox is a treatment that may be considered for suitable patients with jaw clenching, teeth grinding, facial tension or enlarged masseter muscle concerns. It works by relaxing targeted muscle activity, but suitability, dosage, risks and expected outcomes must be assessed during consultation.
Masseter Botox is not a cure for TMJ disorders, is not a replacement for dental or medical diagnosis, and is not a guarantee of pain relief or permanent facial slimming.
Who it may help
