What is Jaw BTX?
Jaw BTX, often referred to as jaw slimming or masseter reduction, is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure that utilizes botulinum toxin to relax and shrink jaw muscle and redefine the jawline.
Beyond its aesthetic benefits, Jaw slimming can also alleviate symptoms associated with jaw tension, teeth grinding (bruxism), and temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders. Jaw BTX offers a non-surgical solution for individuals seeking to enhance their facial contours and address functional concerns related to jaw muscle overactivity.
How Jaw Slimming Works?
When injected into jaw muscles(masseter), botulinum toxin disrupts the nerve signals that stimulate muscle movement.
This interference relax the jaw muscle contractions, which are often responsible for symptoms like jaw tension, teeth grinding (bruxism), and jaw clenching. By relaxing the targeted muscles, Jaw BTX effectively shrink the masseter muscle and alleviates the strain associated with temporomandibular joint disorder (TMJ), promoting relief and restoring functional harmony to the jaw area.
What is Jaw Slimming Treatment for?
Jaw BTX treatment is primarily used to address the following concerns:
Square Jaw

Temporomandibular joint disorder (TMJ)
Relax the jaw muscles, reducing tension, and alleviating associated symptoms such as jaw pain and discomfort.
Teeth grinding (bruxism)
Addresses teeth grinding by relaxing the jaw muscles, reducing involuntary clenching, and alleviating associated discomfort and wear on the teeth.
Jaw clenching
Targeting specific muscles, reducing their activity and relieving tension in the jaw area, leading to improved comfort and functionality.
Facial asymmetry caused by bulky jaw muscle
Selectively weakening bulky jaw muscles, resulting in a more balanced and harmonious facial appearance.
