Botox relaxes the masseter muscles to reduce the force behind clenching and grinding. With less repetitive contraction, the muscles can gradually release tension and decrease in size, while careful dosing preserves the strength needed for chewing and talking.

What Masseter Botox Treats
Jaw tension can be easy to dismiss—until lingering soreness or tightness starts affecting your day. The masseter muscles, which sit along each side of the jaw, can also become more prominent with frequent clenching or grinding, making the lower face appear wider.
With masseter Botox in St. Petersburg, Hermann Aesthetics & Wellness relaxes the specific muscles responsible for that added width and tension. As the masseters become less active, jaw tension can ease, while the lower face gradually takes on a narrower shape.
- Enlarged jaw muscles
- Jaw clenching or grinding
- Tension headaches
- Muscle-related jaw tension
What to Expect
The Masseter Botox Process
Personal Consultation
Your appointment starts with a conversation about which effects you notice, whether that’s persistent jaw tension or pain, the shape of your lower face, or both. Your provider then evaluates your masseter muscles and plans treatment around your anatomy and priorities.
Treatment Process
Once we map the injection points, your provider places Botox into targeted areas of each masseter muscle. The process takes about 20 minutes, and most patients have no required downtime afterward.
Results and Maintenance
Relief and facial changes develop at different speeds. Jaw tension can begin to ease within 1 to 2 weeks, while changes in lower-face shape become more noticeable over the month that follows. Results typically last 3 to 4 months, and we recommend follow-up appointments to maintain them.
