WHAT IS BRUXISM TREATMENT AND HOW DOES IT WORK?
Bruxism – Botox in the Masseter Muscles
It relieves bruxism and refines the jawline. One treatment, two results: less tension, more facial harmony.
Botox for the masseter muscles is a cosmetic and functional treatment that uses botulinum toxin to relax the masseter muscles. By gradually reducing their activity and volume, it slims the jawline and alleviates the discomfort associated with bruxism: pain in the temporomandibular joint, headaches, and tooth wear.
It is one of the treatments in aesthetic medicine that simultaneously improves both appearance and quality of life. Not because one is a consequence of the other, but because they address the same root cause: a muscle that is overworked.
Ideal for those who suffer from bruxism, stress, chronic jaw tension, unconsciously clench their teeth, or seek to soften a wide or square jawline.
Results may vary from patient to patient. Consult our medical team for a personalized evaluation of Botox for the masseter muscles in Mexico City.
