Your jaw finally stops aching at the end of long days. You wake up without that familiar tension headache because you’re not grinding your teeth all night. When you look in the mirror, you see a more refined, V-shaped jawline that actually matches your personality.
The constant background discomfort you’ve gotten used to? Gone. Eating becomes comfortable again instead of feeling like work. Your face looks slimmer and more balanced, but more importantly, you feel relief from the chronic tension you didn’t realize was affecting everything from your sleep to your mood.
This isn’t just about appearance—though that softer, more contoured jawline is definitely a welcome change. It’s about finally addressing the root cause of your jaw pain, headaches, and grinding habits with a treatment that actually works.
House of Ness isn’t your typical med spa. We’re led by a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon and staffed with certified, licensed injectors who specialize in getting masseter Botox right the first time.
As a platinum-level Allergan partner, we use only authentic products and follow protocols that prioritize your safety and results. Every client gets a complimentary consultation where we actually listen to your concerns, plus a two-week follow-up with touch-ups if needed.
We’ve been serving the Graniteville community with the kind of personalized care that treats you like a person, not a procedure. Our lounge-like environment means no rushing, no pressure, and no generic treatment plans that ignore what you actually need.
First, we sit down for a real conversation about your jaw tension, grinding habits, and what you’re hoping to achieve. We examine your masseter muscles to determine the right injection sites and dosage for your specific situation.
The actual treatment takes about 15-20 minutes. We clean the area and use a fine needle to inject precise amounts of Botox into your masseter muscles on each side. Most people describe it as a quick pinch—nothing more uncomfortable than that.
You can go back to your normal activities immediately. No downtime, no special restrictions. Over the next 1-2 weeks, you’ll start noticing your jaw feels less tense. By week 4, you’ll see the full slimming effect as your masseter muscles relax and gradually reduce in size. Results typically last 4-6 months, and we’ll schedule your follow-up to keep you comfortable long-term.

Your masseter Botox treatment includes everything from consultation to follow-up care. We start with a complimentary assessment to make sure this is the right solution for your specific concerns—whether that’s jaw pain, teeth grinding, facial slimming, or all three.
The treatment itself uses 20-30 units of authentic Allergan Botox per side, administered by our certified injectors who understand the precise anatomy needed for both safety and results. You’ll receive detailed aftercare instructions and access to our team if you have any questions during your recovery.
What sets us apart in Graniteville is our two-week follow-up appointment. If you need any touch-ups or adjustments, they’re included at no additional cost. We also participate in the Allē rewards program, so you earn points toward future treatments. Military members, nurses, and first responders receive special pricing because we believe everyone deserves access to quality care.
Masseter Botox typically ranges from $400-900 per treatment session, depending on how many units you need. Most patients require 20-30 units per side (40-60 total units) for optimal jaw slimming and tension relief.
At House of Ness, we provide transparent pricing during your complimentary consultation. We’ll assess your masseter muscle size and discuss your goals to give you an exact cost upfront—no surprises or hidden fees. We also offer special discounts for military members, nurses, and first responders, plus you can earn points through the Allē rewards program to reduce future treatment costs.
Masseter Botox results typically last 4-6 months. You’ll start noticing your jaw feels less tense within 1-2 weeks, with full slimming effects visible by week 4.
The timeline can vary slightly depending on your metabolism, muscle strength, and how much you typically clench or grind your teeth. Some patients find their results last closer to 6 months, while others prefer to schedule touch-ups around the 4-month mark to maintain consistent relief from jaw tension and grinding. We’ll work with you to establish a maintenance schedule that keeps you comfortable and maintains your desired jawline contour.
Yes, masseter Botox is highly effective for treating teeth grinding (bruxism) and TMJ-related jaw pain. By relaxing the overactive masseter muscles, it significantly reduces the urge to clench and grind your teeth, especially during sleep.
Many patients report fewer tension headaches, less jaw soreness, and better sleep quality after treatment. The Botox prevents your masseter muscles from contracting with the same force, which protects your teeth from grinding damage and gives your jaw joints a chance to rest and heal. While it’s not FDA-approved specifically for TMJ, it’s a safe and effective off-label treatment that addresses both the muscle tension and the underlying cause of your grinding habits.
No, when performed correctly by experienced injectors, masseter Botox creates subtle, natural-looking results. You’ll maintain your ability to chew and speak normally—the treatment simply reduces the bulk and hyperactivity of your masseter muscles.
The slimming effect develops gradually over 4-6 weeks, so the change looks natural rather than dramatic. Your jawline becomes more refined and V-shaped, but you still look like yourself. The key is working with certified injectors who understand facial anatomy and use the right dosage for your specific muscle structure. At House of Ness, our Board Certified Plastic Surgeon and licensed team ensure your results enhance your natural features rather than creating an artificial appearance.
Masseter Botox recovery is minimal—most patients return to normal activities immediately after treatment. You might experience slight tenderness or mild swelling at the injection sites, but this typically resolves within 24-48 hours.
We recommend avoiding vigorous facial massages or saunas for the first week to allow the Botox to settle properly. You can eat, drink, and speak normally right away. Some patients notice their jaw feels different as the muscles begin to relax—this is completely normal and indicates the treatment is working. Any minor bruising usually fades within a few days and can be easily covered with makeup if needed.
You’re likely a good candidate for masseter Botox if you experience jaw tension, teeth grinding, headaches from clenching, or want to slim a square or wide jawline. The treatment works best for people with hypertrophic (enlarged) masseter muscles from habitual grinding or genetic factors.
During your complimentary consultation at House of Ness, we’ll examine your jaw muscles and discuss your symptoms to determine if masseter Botox is right for you. We’ll also review your medical history and current medications. You’re not a candidate if you’re pregnant, breastfeeding, or have certain neuromuscular disorders. The best way to find out is to schedule a consultation where we can assess your specific situation and create a personalized treatment plan.
