Jaw tension isn’t just “normal stress.”
If you wake up with headaches, clench during the day, grind your teeth at night, or feel soreness along your jawline, you may be dealing with TMJ-related muscle tension.
Botox in the masseter muscle works by gently relaxing the overactive jaw muscles responsible for clenching and grinding. When those muscles are constantly contracting, they can create pain, tension headaches, facial soreness, and even contribute to enamel wear over time.
By strategically placing Botox into the masseter, we reduce excessive muscle activity — which can lead to:
• Less jaw pain and tension
• Fewer tension headaches
• Reduced teeth grinding
• Relief from facial soreness
• A softer, more balanced lower face over time
Many patients are surprised to learn that this treatment isn’t just cosmetic. While some notice facial slimming as a secondary benefit, the primary goal is relief and improved quality of life.
Treatment is quick, minimally invasive, and results gradually build over the following weeks as the muscle relaxes. Most patients return every 3–4 months to maintain comfort and consistency.
At The Skin Company, we evaluate your muscle strength, facial anatomy, and symptoms carefully before recommending treatment. Precision matters — especially in the lower face.
You don’t have to live with constant jaw tension.
If you’re clenching, grinding, or dealing with TMJ discomfort, schedule a consultation to see if jaw Botox is right for you. ✨
