Treating the masseter muscles with Botox to narrow the jawline

Using Botox in the masseter muscles is a popular treatment for thinning the jawline and giving the appearance of a thinner face. Treatment of the masseter muscles with Botox can also help alleviate TMJ, clenching and grinding the teeth and minimize tension headaches. A typical dosage for Botox for the masseters is 50-60 units and results can commonly be seen after three treatments spaced three months apart.
