You’ll notice subtle softening within two weeks, but the real transformation happens around eight to twelve weeks. Your square jawline gradually becomes more oval and feminine. The constant tension in your jaw starts melting away.
Those morning headaches from grinding your teeth all night? They become a memory. You can finally smile without feeling self-conscious about your jawline’s width. Your face looks more balanced, more you—just refined.
The best part isn’t just how you look. It’s how you feel when you’re not constantly clenching your jaw or waking up with facial pain.
House of Ness brings premier injectable expertise to Elmwood Park residents who refuse to settle for average results. Led by a board-certified plastic surgeon and staffed by certified, licensed injectors, we’ve built our reputation on delivering natural, balanced outcomes that actually look like you—just better.
As a platinum-level Allergan partner, we meet the highest standards for safety and authenticity. Every client receives a complimentary consultation and two-week follow-up with touch-ups if needed. No rushing, no pressure, just genuine care in a welcoming environment.
Our approach goes beyond the injection itself. We understand that Elmwood Park residents value transparency, expertise, and results that enhance rather than change who you are.
Your journey starts with a detailed consultation where we assess your jaw muscles and discuss your goals. No cookie-cutter approach here—your treatment plan is designed specifically for your facial anatomy and desired outcome.
During the actual procedure, which takes just 15-20 minutes, we use ultra-fine needles to precisely inject Botox into your masseter muscles. Most people describe it as surprisingly comfortable, much easier than they expected.
You’ll walk out immediately and return to your normal day. No downtime, no dramatic swelling, no time off work. Over the following weeks, your masseter muscles gradually relax, creating that slimmer jawline you’ve been wanting while reducing the tension that’s been causing you discomfort.

Masseter Botox addresses both the mirror and the medicine cabinet. You get facial slimming that creates a more feminine, V-shaped contour, but you also get relief from the chronic issues that have been affecting your quality of life.
For Elmwood Park residents dealing with TMJ disorders, teeth grinding, or chronic jaw tension, this treatment offers a non-surgical solution that actually works. You’ll still chew and eat normally—only the excessive clenching and grinding are reduced.
The treatment typically uses 20-30 units per side, with results lasting four to six months. Many clients find that with regular treatments, the effects become more sustained as the muscle gradually adapts. It’s an investment in both how you look and how you feel every single day.
Masseter Botox typically ranges from $300 to $800 per session, depending on the amount of product needed and your specific treatment goals. Most clients need 20-30 units per side for effective results.
At House of Ness, you’ll receive transparent pricing during your complimentary consultation. We believe in honest communication about costs upfront, so there are never any surprises. We also offer specialized discounts for military personnel, nurses, and first responders, plus participate in the Allē rewards program to help make treatments more affordable.
The investment covers not just the Botox itself, but the expertise of board-certified professionals, your follow-up appointment with touch-ups if needed, and the peace of mind that comes with choosing a platinum-level Allergan partner.
You’ll start noticing subtle changes within 2-3 weeks as the masseter muscles begin to relax. However, the most dramatic slimming effects become visible around 8-12 weeks after treatment.
This gradual timeline actually works in your favor. The changes look natural because they happen slowly, and people won’t be able to pinpoint exactly what’s different—you’ll just look more refined and balanced. Your jaw tension and grinding symptoms often improve more quickly, sometimes within the first few weeks.
Results typically last 4-6 months, though many clients find that with regular treatments, the effects become more sustained. The muscle gradually adapts, potentially requiring fewer treatments over time while maintaining that slimmer contour you’re after.
No, masseter Botox will not interfere with your normal chewing or eating. You’ll still be able to enjoy all your favorite foods without any functional limitations.
The treatment specifically targets excessive muscle activity—the kind that causes grinding, clenching, and that bulky appearance. Your normal chewing function remains completely intact. Some people notice their bite feels slightly softer initially as the muscle adapts, but this is temporary and doesn’t affect your ability to eat.
This precision is why choosing an experienced, board-certified provider matters. We understand the exact anatomy and injection points needed to achieve slimming and tension relief while preserving all normal jaw function. You get the aesthetic and therapeutic benefits without compromising the practical aspects of daily life.
Yes, masseter Botox can be highly effective for reducing TMJ symptoms and teeth grinding (bruxism). By relaxing the overactive masseter muscles, it reduces the intensity of clenching and grinding that often occurs during sleep.
Many clients experience significant relief from jaw pain, morning headaches, and facial tension within a few weeks of treatment. The reduced muscle activity takes pressure off the temporomandibular joint, allowing it to function more comfortably. You may also notice less wear on your teeth over time.
While masseter Botox is excellent for muscle-related TMJ issues, we may recommend combining it with other approaches like a night guard for comprehensive care. During your consultation, we’ll assess whether your TMJ symptoms are primarily muscle-related and if this treatment is the right fit for your specific situation.
Masseter Botox is very safe when performed by qualified, experienced providers like our team at House of Ness. As a platinum-level Allergan partner, we meet the highest safety and authenticity standards in the industry.
Side effects are typically minimal and temporary. You might experience mild swelling, slight bruising, or tenderness at the injection sites for a few days. Some people notice temporary soreness in the jaw area as the muscle adapts. These effects are normal and resolve quickly.
The treatment has been extensively studied and used safely for both cosmetic and therapeutic purposes. However, it’s not recommended for pregnant or breastfeeding women, or individuals with certain neuromuscular conditions. During your complimentary consultation, we’ll review your medical history to ensure this treatment is appropriate for you.
Most clients schedule masseter Botox treatments every 4-6 months to maintain their results. However, the exact timing can vary based on your individual metabolism, muscle size, and treatment goals.
Some people find they can go longer between treatments as their muscles adapt over time. With regular treatments, many clients experience more sustained muscle reduction, potentially extending the time between sessions. We’ll work with you to find the optimal schedule that maintains your desired results while being practical for your lifestyle and budget.
House of Ness includes a two-week follow-up appointment with each treatment to assess your results and make any necessary adjustments. This personalized approach ensures you’re getting the maximum benefit from each session and helps determine the ideal timing for your next treatment.
