Slim, refine, and relax your jawline with Botox, your non-surgical solution for facial slimming and TMJ relief.
At StudioMD Darien, we offer masseter Botox treatments designed to both slim the lower face and alleviate symptoms caused by jaw clenching and grinding. By selectively relaxing the masseter muscles, this procedure softens a wide jawline, improves facial proportions, and reduces discomfort associated with TMJ dysfunction. Our experienced injectors tailor every treatment to your aesthetic goals and functional needs, creating results that look natural and feel life-changing.

Masseter Botox is a non-surgical treatment in which neuromodulators such as Botox, Dysport, or Xeomin are injected into the masseter muscles—the muscles responsible for chewing and clenching. As the muscles relax and shrink over time, the face appears slimmer, and symptoms of tension, grinding, and jaw pain decrease significantly.
Overdeveloped masseter muscles can make the jawline appear wide or square. Botox gradually weakens these muscles, allowing them to decrease in size over several weeks. This results in a softer, more tapered lower face and improved facial balance.
For patients who grind or clench their teeth, masseter Botox reduces muscle overactivity, relieving jaw pain, tension headaches, and nighttime grinding. Many patients experience improved comfort, reduced jaw tightness, and better sleep quality.
Treatments typically take less than 15 minutes. A fine needle delivers the product directly into the masseters with minimal discomfort. Most patients describe the injections as feeling like a quick pressure or a mild pinch, making this an easy lunchtime procedure.
Results appear gradually over 4–6 weeks as the muscles relax and reduce in size. This slow transition ensures subtle, natural-looking facial refinement without dramatic or sudden changes.

There is minimal to no downtime after masseter Botox. Patients may experience mild tenderness or slight swelling at the injection sites, which typically resolves within a few hours to a couple of days. You can return to normal activities immediately; however, we recommend avoiding strenuous workouts, facial massages, and chewing gum for the first 24 hours. Over the following weeks, the jawline begins to slim, and TMJ tension steadily improves. Many patients report reduced jaw clenching, fewer morning headaches, and a more relaxed bite as the muscles soften.
Jaw-slimming and TMJ-relief results typically last 4–6 months. With consistent treatments, the masseter muscles may continue to shrink, allowing results to become longer-lasting over time. Patients experience improved facial proportions, a softer jawline, reduced clenching, and fewer symptoms associated with bruxism. Touch-up treatments help maintain both cosmetic and functional benefits.
