Botox and Masseter Botox Treatments

Botox and masseter Botox injections performed at ArtSmile Dental Clinic are preferred for both aesthetic and functional purposes. While Botox reduces the appearance of wrinkles by limiting the movement of facial muscles, masseter Botox targets the jaw muscles to help create a more balanced facial contour and can be used to manage issues such as teeth grinding.

Features of Botox Treatment

• Reduces the appearance of wrinkles: Softens expression lines in areas such as the forehead, between the eyebrows, and around the eyes.

• Short procedure time: Typically completed within minutes without requiring a recovery period.

• Natural expression preserved: When applied with proper dosage and technique, no significant change in facial expression occurs.

• Temporary effect: Results usually appear within 3–7 days and last for 4–6 months.

Features of Masseter Botox Treatment

• Slims facial contours: Reduces the volume of the masseter muscle, softening the jawline.

• Supports management of teeth grinding: Helps relax chewing muscles in conditions like bruxism.

• Non-surgical method: Quick and generally painless application.

Treatment Process

• Pre-assessment: The doctor analyzes facial structure and evaluates suitability.

• Application: Injections are administered with fine needles to targeted areas; discomfort is usually minimal.

• Follow-up: Effects of Botox appear within a few days; masseter Botox effects are typically felt within 2–4 weeks.
