Have you heard of Botox for masseters in Chevy Chase? If you experience grinding, clenching and jaw pain or you just want a slimmer, more sculpted jaw, Botox for masseters might be right for you.
The masseters muscles control the closing of your mouth. Some people naturally have larger masseters muscles, which can lead to a wide jaw. Additionally, some people experience pain from clenching and grinding teeth, which can lead to a host of other issues.
Masseter Botox is injected into the masseter muscles to treat various conditions.
Sometimes called Jaw Botox, or Jaw ‘Tox, this treatment provides relief for many conditions that are caused by tightened or enlarged masseter muscles. This includes clenching, bruxism (teeth grinding), jaw pain and headaches.
Alternatively, masseter Botox also works for cosmetic purposes to slim the jawline by reducing the size of these muscles.
Masseter muscles are what give the jawline a square shape. While this looks great on Superman, it’s not for everyone. Injecting Botox into the masseter muscles weakens them and helps to soften the shape of face and makes it appear slimmer.
Masseter Botox in Chevy Chase is a quick procedure. It’s done in the office, so no need to visit a hospital.
After a consultation where you discuss the procedure with the provider and decide if it’s the right choice for you, you can begin. First, the provider cleans the injection site and may apply numbing cream. Then, Dr. Cronin will inject small amounts of Botox into the masseter muscles with a tiny needle. The amount you need will depend on your unique anatomy.
After the procedure, you are free to return to normal activities. There is no downtime or recovery. However, you should avoid rubbing or massaging the injection area since this can spread the Botox to unwanted areas.
Masseter Botox can have significant benefits. It can even be used in combination with dermal fillers to create optimal results. But you need an experienced and well-trained injector. Dr. Cronin has the knowledge and skill you are looking for. Contact Cronin Dermatology today to learn more.
