What are Masseter Botox Injections?
Snyder Dermatology in Austin, Texas, offers Masseter Botox injections as an effective solution for patients seeking to reduce the size and prominence of their masseter muscles. Our skilled dermatologists utilize precise injection techniques to target and relax the masseter muscles, resulting in a slimmer and more contoured jawline. Masseter Botox injections involve the use of botulinum toxin type A, commonly known as Botox, to relax and weaken the masseter muscles, which are responsible for jaw movement and chewing. By reducing the activity of these muscles, Masseter Botox injections can slim the jawline, soften facial contours, and alleviate symptoms associated with jaw clenching and teeth grinding.
Who Is a Candidate for Masseter Botox Injections?
Candidates for Masseter Botox injections are individuals who are bothered by the appearance of a square or overly prominent jawline due to enlarged masseter muscles. Additionally, candidates may experience symptoms such as jaw tension, headaches, or teeth grinding, which can be alleviated with Masseter Botox injections. Ideal candidates should be in good overall health and have realistic expectations for the results of treatment.
Benefits of Masseter Botox Injections
Masseter Botox injections offer numerous benefits, including:
Slimmer Jawline: By relaxing the masseter muscles, Botox injections can reduce the size and prominence of the jawline, resulting in a more oval or heart-shaped facial contour.
Alleviation of Symptoms: Masseter Botox injections can help alleviate symptoms associated with jaw clenching, teeth grinding, and temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorder, leading to improved comfort and quality of life.
Non-Surgical: Masseter Botox injections provide a non-surgical alternative to procedures like jaw reduction surgery, offering natural-looking results with minimal discomfort and downtime.
Customizable treatment: Our dermatologists tailor Masseter Botox injections to each patient’s unique anatomy and aesthetic goals, ensuring optimal outcomes and patient satisfaction.
Masseter Botox Injection Treatment
During the Masseter Botox injection treatment, our dermatologists will carefully assess your facial anatomy and determine the appropriate injection sites to target the Masseter muscles. Botox is injected directly into the masseter muscles using a fine needle, where it begins to take effect within a few days. The procedure is quick and virtually painless, with most patients able to resume their normal activities immediately afterward.

I’ve had two different doctors and have been going to this office since 2021. I’ve had nothing but great experiences. They were knowledgeable and aggressive in getting my eczema flare ups under control. They offer cheaper options for getting expensive prescriptions, which is always a plus! The staff in the front and on the phones are helpful and kind. The nurses ask considerate and relevant questions. I feel like my doctors really understand my concerns and do their best to help me know how to use the medicines correctly. Can’t recommend them enough!
