Masseter muscle reduction is a non-surgical procedure designed to slim the jawline and alleviate issues related to an overactive masseter muscle. This muscle, located at the back of your jaw, is responsible for chewing and can become enlarged due to factors like excessive grinding, clenching, or genetic predisposition.

The masseter muscle can contribute to a wider, more square jawline, which some individuals might find aesthetically unappealing. Additionally, an overactive masseter muscle can cause discomfort, jaw pain, or teeth grinding.

Botulinum toxin works by blocking nerve signals that cause muscle contraction. When injected into the masseter muscle, it temporarily reduces its activity, allowing the muscle to shrink over time. This results in a slimmer jawline and can relieve symptoms such as jaw tension or teeth grinding.
