What if you could have a slim, “v-shaped” jaw without surgery?
Masseter Botox in Boone County, KY, allows our team to refine the jawline without the need for invasive procedures. If you have a broader jaw due to large jaw muscles or a TMJ disorder, a simple treatment with a neurotoxin injectable at Dermatology Aesthetics of Northern Kentucky can reshape your lower face.
Here’s how it works.
Neurotoxins Relax the Facial Muscles
Neurotoxins like Botox, Daxxify, and Xeomin work by interrupting the signals from the nervous system that tell muscles to contract. As the injectable settles into the muscle, the muscle relaxes. For this reason, neurotoxins often treat fine lines and wrinkles that occur when facial muscles move—such as smile lines, forehead lines, and more.
But we can also use neurotoxins to relax the masseter muscles, which run along the side of the jaw. When hyperactive, these muscles can cause TMJ disorders with symptoms like pain, clenching, and teeth grinding.
Using neurotoxin injectables on the masseter muscle for longer periods also helps it relax and weaken, which reduces overlarge muscles and creates a slimmer jaw contour.
A Short, Simple Procedure
TMJ or jawline-slimming treatment requires a higher number of units than cosmetic Botox treatment, along with extremely precise, deeper injections. However, the procedure itself does not last very long—only about 15 to 30 minutes.
The injections take a while to create the full effects, about 2 weeks. But results last for 3 to 4 months and only require a few maintenance treatments a year.
To Treat Masseter Muscles, Experience Matters
It takes an experienced injector who understands facial anatomy to safely and effectively administer treatment to the lower face and masseter muscles.
At Dermatology Aesthetics of Northern Kentucky, a cosmetic dermatologist-led practice, we have extensive training and experience in injectables and facial anatomy. With everything we do, we infuse our medical knowledge and eye for artistry.
During a personal consultation with one of our injectors, you share more about how you want your lower face to appear or any side effects you would like to address. Then, we develop a personalized treatment plan to help you achieve your goals.
