Botox is used for much more than just wrinkles. In addition to reducing unwanted lines on the forehead and around the eyes, Botox can also be used for jaw slimming in Boston, MA.
Botox for Jaw Slimming can help you sculpt a slimmer, more youthful face shape because it relaxes the masseter muscle (chewing muscle). This makes the muscle weaker and causes it to appear less prominent. It can also help with headaches, teeth grinding, clenching, and other issues related to tension in the jaw.

Large jaw muscles can cause the face to look wide and more masculine. A person can have large jaw muscles due to genetics, or because the masseter muscle is over-developed. Over-developed jaw muscles can occur because of habitual jaw clenching or teeth grinding.
The large muscles add bulk to the face and create a wide, square jaw. When Botox is injected into the masseter muscles, they soften and relax. Over time, the muscles shrink. This creates a slimmer, more oval face shape. And because Botox temporarily paralyzes the muscles, jaw tension is relieved and issues such as grinding and clenching are improved.
Our board-certified nurse practitioner, Jennifer Canesi, APN-BC, performs all of our Boston Botox for Jaw Slimming treatments. Jennifer has helped many people achieve a more flattering jawline while reducing uncomfortable jaw pain.
Your treatment is performed in our office. Ice and a numbing cream are used to make your injections more comfortable. During the procedure, Botox is injected directly into the masseter muscle.
