Masseter Botox® for Facial Slimming

Conveniently located to serve the areas of Lafayette, LA

Facial slimming treats the masseter — the strong chewing muscle at the back of the jaw. When that muscle is enlarged, whether from genetics or from years of clenching, it widens the lower face and creates a squared jawline. Placing neuromodulator into the masseter allows the muscle to gradually soften and reduce in size, tapering the lower face into a slimmer, more oval contour.

Results build slowly, which keeps the change subtle: most patients notice a difference at four to six weeks, with the full effect at around three months and results lasting four to six months. Because the muscle continues to shrink with repeated treatment, many patients find they need less over time. If you also clench or grind your teeth, the same treatment often relieves that tension — the difference is simply which result you came in for.
