Masseter Botox in Edmonton
Botox treatment for the masseter muscles is a leading solution for those seeking relief from jaw tension, TMJ disorders, and facial slimming. At our Edmonton clinic, we offer personalized treatment plans using medically-led Botox injections designed to reduce muscle contraction in the jaw area. Whether your goal is to ease discomfort or enhance your facial profile, Masseter Botox can support both dental health and facial rejuvenation.
Masseter Botox involves injecting botulinum toxin into the masseter muscle - one of the main muscles responsible for chewing and jaw clenching. By targeting this area with precise botulinum injections, the treatment temporarily relaxes the muscle, helping reduce symptoms associated with masseter hypertrophy.
Is Masseter Botox Right for You?
If you struggle with jaw discomfort or are looking to achieve a more contoured lower face, Masseter Botox offers both therapeutic relief and cosmetic refinement. By targeting the overactive masseter muscles, this treatment can ease tension while subtly slimming the jawline.
Masseter Botox is ideal for treating:
- Chronic jaw pain or tightness
- Teeth grinding (bruxism)
- Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders
- Broad or square jawline caused by muscle enlargement
This procedure not only addresses functional concerns but also provides facial slimming, enhancing the overall balance of your facial anatomy.
WHAT TO EXPECT FROM MASSETER BOTOX: TREATMENT, CANDIDACY, AND KEY BENEFITS
Initial Consultation
Your journey begins with a personalised treatment plan created by Dr. Russ Wong, based on your facial structure, muscle tension, and medical history. Using his expertise in facial anatomy and jaw function, Dr. Wong will identify the key injection sites to ensure safe, effective, and natural-looking results.
The Procedure
Using refined injection methods, Botox is administered into the masseter muscles using ultra-fine needles. Most patients describe the sensation as a small pinch. The session typically takes 15–30 minutes.
Aftercare
There is little to no downtime. You may resume most activities right away, avoiding strenuous jaw movements for the first 24 hours. Results begin to show within 1–2 weeks, with full effects in about a month.
