Masseter Tox
in Marietta, GA
Jaw tension, clenching, and teeth grinding can take a serious toll, not just on your comfort, but on your facial appearance as well. Overactive jaw muscles can cause headaches, jaw pain, worn teeth, and a bulky or square lower face.
At Enhanced Aesthetics & Wellness, Masseter Tox is a non-surgical treatment designed to relax the jaw muscles, relieve tension, and gently refine the lower face, all with minimal downtime.
Relax jaw tension. Slim the face. Restore comfort and balance.
What is Masseter Tox? Masseter Tox is a medical and aesthetic treatment that involves injecting a neuromodulator into the masseter muscles, the powerful muscles located at the sides of the jaw responsible for chewing and clenching. Neuromodulators work by temporarily interrupting the signal between the nerve and muscle. When injected into the masseter, this causes the muscle to relax, reducing excessive contraction and strain. While neuromodulators are commonly used in the upper face for wrinkle reduction, treating the masseter muscles offers both functional relief and cosmetic benefits.
Signs You May Benefit from Masseter Tox
You may be a good candidate for masseter treatment if you experience:
- Jaw clenching or grinding (especially at night)
- Chronic jaw tension or soreness
- Headaches related to jaw strain
- Facial pain or tightness
- TMJ or TMD-related symptoms
- A bulky or square lower face caused by muscle hypertrophy
Many patients are surprised to learn that their symptoms, and even facial shape, are directly related to overactive jaw muscles.
Benefits of Masseter Tox
Masseter Tox offers a wide range of therapeutic and aesthetic benefits, including:
- Relaxation of the jaw muscles
- Reduced teeth grinding and clenching
- Relief from jaw tension and discomfort
- Fewer tension-related headaches
- Slimmer, softer jawline appearance
- Improved facial balance and symmetry
- Increased comfort and peace of mind
For many patients, this treatment improves both quality of life and confidence.
Cosmetic Benefits: Slimming & Softening the Jawline
In addition to symptom relief, relaxing the masseter muscles can gradually reduce muscle bulk over time.
This can result in:
- A softer, more contoured jawline
- Reduced lower-face width
- Improved facial proportions
This effect is especially appealing for patients who feel their jaw appears overly square or heavy due to muscle overdevelopment rather than bone structure.
