You wake up with a sore jaw again. The grinding, the clenching, the square jawline staring back at you in the mirror—it’s exhausting. Masseter Botox changes that story completely.
Within weeks, you’ll notice your jawline becoming more refined and contoured. The constant tension melts away. Your face looks slimmer, more balanced, more like the version of yourself you’ve always wanted to see.
But the real transformation goes deeper than aesthetics. You’ll sleep better without grinding your teeth. Headaches become a thing of the past. Your jaw finally gets the rest it deserves, and you get your confidence back.

You’ll walk out immediately and return to your normal activities. No downtime, no restrictions, just the beginning of your transformation. Within 1-2 weeks, you’ll start noticing the changes. Your jaw feels more relaxed, your face looks more contoured, and those tension headaches begin to fade away.

Every masseter Botox treatment at House of Ness includes comprehensive care designed around your specific needs. Your session begins with a thorough consultation where we evaluate your masseter muscle activity, facial structure, and treatment goals.
We typically use 40-60 units of Botox for optimal jaw slimming results, though your exact dosage depends on your muscle size and desired outcome. The treatment addresses both cosmetic concerns—creating that coveted V-shaped jawline—and medical issues like bruxism and TMJ pain.
Bergenfield residents particularly appreciate our follow-up care. Every patient receives a complimentary two-week check-in appointment where we assess your results and provide touch-ups if needed. We also include guidance on maintaining your results and integrating medical-grade skincare to enhance your overall aesthetic goals.
Masseter Botox typically ranges from $400-$900 per treatment session in the New Jersey area. The exact cost depends on how many units you need, which varies based on your muscle size and treatment goals.
Most patients require 40-60 total units (20-30 per side) for optimal jaw slimming results. At House of Ness, we provide transparent pricing during your complimentary consultation, so you’ll know exactly what to expect before any treatment begins.
We also offer specialized discounts for new clients, military personnel, nurses, and first responders. Plus, as an Allergan platinum partner, we participate in the Allē rewards program, helping you save on future treatments.
You’ll start seeing initial results from masseter Botox within 1-2 weeks, with full effects becoming visible by 4 weeks. The jaw slimming and pain relief benefits typically last 4-6 months before requiring maintenance treatment.
Unlike traditional Botox for wrinkles, masseter treatments work gradually. The muscle relaxation happens first, providing immediate relief from tension and grinding. The aesthetic slimming effect develops over several weeks as the muscle size reduces from decreased activity.
Most patients schedule follow-up treatments every 4-6 months to maintain their results. With regular treatments, some people find their results last longer as the muscle becomes trained to remain more relaxed.
Yes, masseter Botox is highly effective for treating bruxism (teeth grinding) and TMJ-related jaw pain. By relaxing the overactive masseter muscles, it significantly reduces the force and frequency of grinding and clenching.
Many patients experience relief from associated symptoms like tension headaches, jaw stiffness, and facial pain within days of treatment. The reduced muscle activity also helps protect your teeth from further grinding damage and can improve your sleep quality.
While masseter Botox isn’t FDA-approved specifically for TMJ treatment, it’s widely used off-label by qualified practitioners for this purpose. Our board-certified team has extensive experience treating both the aesthetic and medical benefits of masseter Botox.
The masseter Botox procedure is quick and straightforward, typically taking 10-15 minutes from start to finish. We begin by cleaning the treatment area and may apply a topical numbing cream for added comfort.
Using a very fine needle, we inject precise amounts of Botox into specific points along your masseter muscles. Most patients describe the sensation as a quick pinch or sting—much less uncomfortable than they anticipated.
There’s no downtime required after treatment. You can immediately return to work, exercise, and normal activities. We recommend avoiding rubbing or massaging the treated area for the first few hours, but otherwise, you’re free to go about your day normally.
You’re likely a good candidate for masseter Botox if you have a square or wide jawline from enlarged masseter muscles, experience teeth grinding or jaw clenching, or suffer from TMJ-related pain and tension headaches.
The treatment works best for people with hypertrophic (enlarged) masseter muscles, whether from genetics, excessive gum chewing, or bruxism. Both men and women can benefit, though the aesthetic results may be more dramatic in those starting with bulkier jaw muscles.
During your complimentary consultation at House of Ness, we’ll assess your facial anatomy, discuss your goals, and determine if masseter Botox is the right solution for your specific needs. We’ll also review any medical conditions or medications that might affect your candidacy.
Masseter Botox requires significantly more units than traditional facial Botox treatments—typically 40-60 units compared to 10-20 for forehead wrinkles. The masseter muscles are much larger and stronger than facial expression muscles, requiring higher doses for effective results.
The injection technique is also different. We target deeper muscle layers rather than the superficial muscles used for wrinkle treatment. This requires specialized training and anatomical knowledge to ensure safe, effective results.
The goals are different too. While facial Botox prevents wrinkles from forming, masseter Botox actively shrinks muscle size over time while providing medical benefits like pain relief and reduced grinding. The results develop gradually over weeks rather than days, creating both functional and aesthetic improvements.
