Your jaw tension starts melting away within days. That constant clenching that leaves you with headaches and a sore jaw? Gone.
The bulky appearance from overactive masseter muscles begins softening within two weeks. Your face looks more balanced, more defined. Friends notice something different but can’t quite put their finger on what changed.
You stop grinding your teeth at night. Your dentist notices less wear on your molars. The morning jaw stiffness becomes a thing of the past. Your entire face feels more relaxed, and that square, heavy jawline transforms into something more naturally contoured and proportionate to your features.
House of Ness operates under the guidance of a Board-Certified Plastic Surgeon, with every masseter Botox treatment performed by our licensed, certified injectors. As a Platinum-level Allergan partner, we use only authentic products and maintain the highest safety standards.
Located in Paramus, we understand the aesthetic preferences of Bergen County residents who want natural-looking results that enhance rather than dramatically alter their appearance. Every client receives a complimentary consultation to discuss goals and create a personalized treatment plan.
Our approach combines medical precision with genuine care, offering two-week follow-ups with touch-ups if needed and transparent pricing that respects your investment in looking and feeling your best.
Your consultation starts with a thorough assessment of your jaw muscles and facial structure. Our injector examines how your masseter muscles contribute to your facial shape and discusses your specific concerns about jaw tension or aesthetics.
The actual treatment takes about 15-20 minutes. Small amounts of Botox are strategically injected into the masseter muscles on both sides of your jaw. Most clients describe the sensation as minor pinpricks with minimal discomfort.
You can return to your normal activities immediately. Some clients experience mild tenderness at injection sites for a day or two, but there’s no significant downtime. Results begin appearing within 3-7 days as the muscles start relaxing, with full effects visible within two weeks. The slimming and tension relief typically last 4-6 months.

Paramus residents particularly appreciate the follow-up care included in every treatment. You’ll receive a complimentary two-week check-in appointment where our injector assesses your results and provides touch-ups if needed at no additional charge.
Our transparent pricing reflects the quality of care and authentic products we use.

Masseter Botox treatment at House of Ness typically ranges from $400-$800, depending on the amount of product needed for your specific jaw muscles. The final cost is determined during your complimentary consultation based on your muscle size and treatment goals.
This price includes the consultation, treatment with authentic Allergan Botox, and your two-week follow-up appointment with touch-ups if needed. New clients receive special pricing, and the Allē rewards program provides points toward future treatments.
The investment covers both cosmetic benefits and therapeutic relief from jaw tension, teeth grinding, and TMJ-related discomfort, making it a dual-purpose treatment that many clients find valuable for their overall quality of life.
Masseter Botox results typically last 4-6 months, though some clients experience effects for up to 8 months with regular treatments. The longevity depends on your metabolism, muscle strength, and how your body processes the Botox.
Most clients notice the jaw slimming effects beginning within 3-7 days, with peak results visible at the two-week mark. The muscle relaxation that provides TMJ relief often begins even sooner, sometimes within 24-48 hours.
For maintained results, clients typically schedule follow-up treatments every 4-6 months. Many find that with consistent treatments, they can extend the time between appointments as the masseter muscles become trained to remain more relaxed.
Yes, masseter Botox is highly effective for reducing teeth grinding (bruxism) and alleviating TMJ-related jaw pain. By relaxing the overactive masseter muscles, the treatment reduces the force of jaw clenching that causes these problems.
Most clients experience significant relief from morning jaw stiffness, headaches caused by jaw tension, and the unconscious clenching that occurs during sleep or stress. Your dentist may even notice reduced wear patterns on your teeth at your next cleaning.
The therapeutic benefits often last as long as the cosmetic effects, typically 4-6 months. Many clients initially seek masseter Botox for jaw slimming but find the TMJ relief to be an equally valuable benefit that improves their daily comfort and sleep quality.
Masseter Botox involves minimal discomfort, with most clients describing the injections as small pinpricks or brief stinging sensations. The masseter muscles are less sensitive than other facial areas, making the treatment quite tolerable for most people.
The entire injection process takes only 15-20 minutes, and no numbing is typically required. Some clients experience mild tenderness or slight swelling at injection sites for 24-48 hours afterward, but this resolves quickly without interfering with daily activities.
If you’re particularly sensitive to injections, ice can be applied before treatment to minimize any discomfort. Our certified injectors at House of Ness use fine needles and precise techniques to make the experience as comfortable as possible while ensuring optimal results.
Good candidates for masseter Botox are adults who experience jaw tension, teeth grinding, or want to slim a square or bulky jawline caused by enlarged masseter muscles. You’re likely a candidate if you wake up with jaw soreness, clench your teeth during stress, or feel self-conscious about your jaw’s width.
The treatment works best for people with prominent masseter muscles that create a square facial shape or cause functional problems like TMJ pain. During your consultation, our injector will assess your muscle development and facial structure to determine if you’ll achieve your desired results.
You should avoid masseter Botox if you’re pregnant, breastfeeding, have certain neurological conditions, or take specific medications that interact with Botox. Our consultation process ensures you’re a safe candidate and helps set realistic expectations for both cosmetic and therapeutic outcomes.
Recovery from masseter Botox is minimal, with most clients returning to normal activities immediately after treatment. You may experience slight tenderness at injection sites and should avoid rubbing or massaging the treated area for 24 hours to prevent the Botox from migrating.
Some clients notice temporary difficulty with very chewy foods for the first few days as the muscles begin relaxing, but this resolves quickly. Avoid intense exercise for 24 hours and sleep with your head slightly elevated the first night to minimize any potential swelling.
The gradual onset of results means you’ll slowly notice your jaw feeling more relaxed and your facial profile becoming more contoured over the first two weeks. Your follow-up appointment ensures everything is progressing as expected and allows for any necessary touch-ups to optimize your results.
