You wake up without the familiar jaw ache. Your face looks naturally slimmer in photos, with that coveted heart-shaped contour you’ve always wanted. The grinding stops, the headaches fade, and suddenly you’re not avoiding certain angles in selfies anymore.
This isn’t about changing who you are—it’s about revealing the facial structure that’s been there all along. When your masseter muscles are properly balanced, your entire face comes into harmony. Your cheekbones appear more defined, your neck looks longer, and that square, masculine jawline softens into something elegantly feminine.
The transformation happens gradually over 8-12 weeks, so no one suspects anything except that you look refreshed and confident. You’re not just treating a cosmetic concern—you’re addressing the root cause of jaw tension that’s been affecting your sleep, your comfort, and your self-image for years.

Every masseter Botox treatment includes a two-week follow-up appointment with complimentary touch-ups if needed. This isn’t just about the injection—it’s about ensuring your results meet your expectations and adjusting the treatment as your muscles respond.
North Arlington residents particularly benefit from this comprehensive approach. With the area’s high concentration of working professionals who depend on their appearance for career success, precision matters. Whether you’re presenting to clients in Manhattan or building relationships in Bergen County’s business community, your facial aesthetics need to enhance, never detract from, your professional presence.
The treatment also includes education about maintaining your results and optimizing your facial wellness routine. Many North Arlington clients combine their masseter Botox with complementary treatments, creating a holistic approach to facial rejuvenation that fits seamlessly into their sophisticated lifestyle.
Masseter Botox pricing typically ranges from $400-$1,200 per session, depending on the amount of product needed and the complexity of your case. Most clients require 20-50 units per side, with the exact dosage determined by your muscle strength and aesthetic goals.
At House of Ness, pricing is transparent and discussed during your complimentary consultation. We provide exact cost estimates based on your individual needs, never surprise bills or hidden fees. Many clients find the investment worthwhile when they consider the dual benefits—both aesthetic improvement and relief from jaw pain, TMJ symptoms, and teeth grinding that can cause expensive dental damage over time.
Results typically last 4-6 months, though many clients notice the effects lasting longer with regular treatments. The muscle-relaxing benefits begin within 1-2 weeks, with peak jawline slimming visible around 8-12 weeks after treatment.
What’s particularly encouraging is the cumulative effect—over time, regular masseter Botox treatments can lead to more sustained muscle reduction, potentially requiring fewer future sessions. This makes it an excellent long-term investment for North Arlington residents who want consistent results without frequent appointments disrupting their busy schedules.
Your individual timeline may vary based on factors like muscle strength, metabolism, and lifestyle habits like gum chewing or stress-related jaw clenching.
Yes, masseter Botox is highly effective and safe for treating TMJ disorders and bruxism (teeth grinding). By relaxing the overactive masseter muscles, it reduces the intensity of jaw clenching and grinding, which often provides significant relief from associated pain and tension headaches.
Clinical studies show that patients experience fewer sleep bruxism events and less jaw pain after masseter injections. This is particularly beneficial for North Arlington residents dealing with stress-related jaw tension from demanding careers or long commutes to Manhattan. The treatment addresses the root muscular cause rather than just managing symptoms.
However, a comprehensive approach may include working with your dentist on bite issues or using a night guard to protect your teeth. We coordinate care with other healthcare providers when appropriate to ensure the best possible outcomes.
The treatment begins with precise mapping of your masseter muscles to ensure safe, effective injection placement. The actual procedure takes 30-60 minutes and involves 3-6 small injection points per side, using ultra-fine needles to minimize discomfort.
Most clients describe the sensation as brief pinches with minimal pain. There’s virtually no downtime—you can return to work the same day, making it perfect for busy North Arlington professionals. Some mild swelling, redness, or bruising at injection sites is normal and typically resolves within a few days.
You’ll receive detailed aftercare instructions, including avoiding rubbing the treated areas and intense exercise for 24 hours. The gradual nature of results means no one will suspect you’ve had work done—they’ll simply notice you looking more refreshed and confident over the following weeks.
Ideal candidates have enlarged or overactive masseter muscles causing a square jawline, jaw pain, TMJ symptoms, or teeth grinding. You should be in good general health, not pregnant or breastfeeding, and have realistic expectations about gradual results.
Many North Arlington residents are excellent candidates due to stress-related jaw tension from demanding careers and long commutes. If you notice jaw soreness in the morning, tension headaches, or feel self-conscious about a wide or square jawline, masseter Botox might be perfect for you.
The best way to determine candidacy is through a complimentary consultation where we assess your facial structure, discuss your concerns, and create a personalized treatment plan. This ensures the treatment aligns with your aesthetic goals and addresses your specific muscular patterns.
You’ll notice the muscle-relaxing benefits within 1-2 weeks, with reduced jaw tension and less teeth grinding. The aesthetic changes—jawline slimming and facial contouring—become most apparent around 8-12 weeks as the masseter muscles gradually shrink in size.
This timeline works well for North Arlington residents planning for important events or professional milestones. The gradual transformation ensures natural-looking results that enhance your features without appearing overdone or artificial.
Peak results typically occur around 3 months, with effects lasting 4-6 months before maintenance treatment is needed. Many clients schedule their follow-up appointments in advance to maintain consistent results and prevent the return of jaw tension or aesthetic concerns.
