Masseter Botox Toronto – TMJ Relief, Teeth Grinding & Facial Slimming

Masseter Botox can help soften the look of a double chin when the width comes from an overactive or enlarged jaw muscle. As the masseter relaxes, the lower face looks slimmer and the jawline naturally appears more defined. If your double chin is mostly related to sagging skin, swelling or fat under the chin, pairing Masseter Botox with treatments like chin Botox, jawline contouring filler, or Endosphères facial can create a smoother, more sculpted profile. Shedule your consulation to understand how Masseter Botox improve your Double chin appearance. 

Everyone’s masseter muscle is different, which is why the amount of Botox needed can vary so much from person to person. Men usually need a higher dose, while women—especially mature women—often need 25–50% less to relax the jaw without changing natural expression. It’s also normal for one side of the face to need more units than the other, depending on which side you chew on more. During your consultation, your injector will assess your muscle strength and overall facial balance, especially if Masseter Botox is part of your Botox plan for softer, more elegant contouring.

Most people start to feel relief from clenching within the first week, with the full slimming effect appearing around weeks two to four. Masseter Botox typically lasts 4–5 months, but many clients notice that results last longer once the muscle becomes less overactive with regular treatments. More about Botox results in Botox Before and After Toronto.

Most clients begin noticing a softer, more relaxed feeling in the jaw within the first few days, especially if clenching or grinding was causing discomfort. Visible slimming happens more gradually, with the biggest change usually appearing around the 2–3 week mark as the masseter muscle starts to shrink. If you’re pairing your treatment Most people choose Masseter Botox to ease daily jaw tension and support a more comfortable, naturally balanced lower face with chin fillers or jawline contouring filler, the lower face often looks even more defined as everything settles into balance.

The masseter is a big, strong muscle, so it needs a proper amount of Botox to work well. If the dose is too low, the muscle won’t soften, and you won’t see a change. At the same time, the goal is not to completely relax or “freeze” the muscle — you still need it for chewing. What we want is a gentle shift from hyper-tone → normal tone, which feels more comfortable and looks more balanced.

The depth of the injection is just as important. If Botox is placed too superficially, only part of the muscle relaxes, and the rest can overwork — this is what sometimes creates an uneven shape when you clench. Proper masseter treatment targets the deeper part of the muscle and keeps a safe distance from the edges to prevent migration into nearby muscles that affect your smile.

Choosing an injector who understands:

• the right dose for your muscle strength
• how to restore normal muscle tone (not over-relax it)
• the correct injection depth
• the safe injection points

…makes all the difference. When these steps are followed, Masseter Botox in Toronto is a very safe, reliable treatment with smooth, natural-looking results. If you are not ready for injections, you can try Endospheres facial to relax your muscles and remove facial swelling.

Masseter Botox can work beautifully for many mature and menopausal women, but the treatment must be customized with extra care.

During menopause, several muscles in the lower face often become hyper-toned, contributing to early jowls and a heavier jawline. These include the chin muscle, the muscles that pull the lip corners downward, and parts of the platysma that reach up toward the mouth. If the masseter is relaxed on its own while these surrounding muscles remain overactive, the extra skin in the lower face can become more visible. This is why mature clients often get better results with a balanced lower-face approach, similar to a gentle full-face Botox plan rather than masseter-only injections.

Instead of placing the full 20–40 units into a single muscle, MedVSPA Toronto injector may spread a portion of the dosage across the entire lower third of the face—the chin, jawline, depressor muscles around the mouth, and masseter. It keeps the jawline supported, reduces the downward pull around the mouth, and softens jowls for a naturally lifted look. When performed this way, Masseter Botox becomes a safe and effective option for mature women, offering comfort and subtle contour without creating imbalance. Is Masseter Botox Right for You?

With more than 20 years of injection experience, your MedVSPA provider understands how to assess the true strength of your masseter muscle, choose the right depth, and use the proper amount of Botox for safe, natural-looking results. This level of experience also means you’ll always get an honest discussion about what your results will look like — no overpromises, no unnecessary treatments.

For peri- and menopausal women, every appointment includes a full lower-face muscle assessment and a clear explanation of whether Masseter Botox alone is right for you or if another Botox approach would create a softer jawline, better support the skin, and balance the muscles that contribute to clenching and early jowls. Our goal is to guide you toward the option that will truly look best on your face and deliver the most natural results here at our Yorkville Toronto clinic.
