What Is Masseter BOTOX?
Whenever you catch a glimpse of yourself in the mirror, do you ever wish for a more sculpted jawline or feel bothered by the appearance of a broad face? Often, the width of the jaw can be attributed to the masseter muscles, which, when overly developed, can give the face a more square shape. Masseter BOTOX is an innovative solution to this issue, offering facial slimming benefits and relief from jaw tension and habits, like teeth clenching. By utilizing a specialized form of botulinum toxin, this treatment gently relaxes the masseter muscles. This relaxation leads to a subtle but noticeable slimming of the jawline, contributing to a more refined facial silhouette. Moreover, the reduction in muscle activity can alleviate symptoms associated with teeth grinding and TMJ disorders, making it a multifaceted approach to enhancing both your aesthetic appeal and comfort. At Starr MedSpa in Westlake Village or Studio City, CA, our dedicated team is proud to provide this sophisticated treatment, helping you achieve your desired look with precision and care. We're here to guide you through the benefits of masseter BOTOX and how it can be a key component in achieving that defined jawline you've been dreaming of.
How Does Masseter BOTOX Work?
During your initial consultation for masseter BOTOX injections at Starr MedSpa, our skilled professionals will perform a detailed evaluation to determine the optimal areas for enhancement. Masseter BOTOX is delivered in a quick and straightforward outpatient procedure, allowing you to receive your injections during the same visit. The treatment involves precisely injecting the botulinum toxin into the masseter muscles using a very fine needle. The process is swift, taking only about 30 minutes, and is generally associated with minimal discomfort, often described as a brief pinching sensation. After your session, you're all set to leave our Westlake Village or Studio City, CA facility and resume your daily activities.
Frequency of treatment: every 2.5 – 4 months

Starr MedSpa Reviews
I’ve have been coming here for about a year now receiving botox and every experience is amazing! Brittany and Emily are always so welcoming and make you feel extremely comfortable! They both make sure you understand everything with the procedure, along with always letting me ask a million questions lol….I could never go anywhere else
Starr Med Spa has been my go-to for Botox the past few years! I’ve seen Tenley and Tiffany but would trust any nurse here to provide great service and results! Booking appointments is so simple and they are super responsive to texts and phone calls. I love following them on Instagram as well to see which new products and services they are providing, and of course to see some amazing before and afters! This is the place to go for any of your med spa needs!
Brittney is so thorough in explaining the process beginning to end, aftercare, etc. She is so kind throughout the process and checks in to make sure you are comfortable. I couldn’t recommend or trust someone more with my cosmetic needs and wants! Thank you Brittney and Starrmed Spa! For reference: I have now received a Microneedling treatment, Botox, and Dysport. I am a reoccurring customer of Brittney’s and I absolutely love her!
These ladies are the BEST. Tenley is a total rockstar and Kelly is so communicative. I've gotten botox for both forehead and TMJ and they always do an amazing job. Do yourself a favor and book!
Alison is the best! I went in with lots of pain because of my TMJ and she was able to give me Botox. I can now chew and all the pain has gone away. She is super knowledgeable and gives honest advice! I will only be coming to her for my services for now on.

Masseter BOTOX® FAQ
How does Masseter BOTOX affect chewing and speaking?
While Masseter BOTOX targets the masseter muscles responsible for chewing, the treatment generally does not significantly impair chewing or speaking. Some patients may notice a slight difference in their ability to chew tough or hard foods, particularly in the days following the procedure. However, this effect is usually mild and temporary as the body adjusts to the muscle's reduced activity.
Will Masseter BOTOX make my face look thinner?
Masseter BOTOX can contribute to a slimmer, more contoured appearance of the lower face by reducing the size of the masseter muscles. This effect can be particularly noticeable in individuals with hypertrophic (enlarged) masseter muscles due to teeth grinding or frequent chewing of hard foods. However, the degree of facial slimming varies based on the individual’s anatomy and the amount of BOTOX used.
How does Masseter BOTOX compare to surgical options for jaw slimming?
Masseter BOTOX is a non-surgical option for achieving a slimmer jawline, offering a less invasive alternative to surgical jaw reduction. While the effects of BOTOX are temporary and require maintenance treatments, the procedure carries fewer risks, no scarring, and minimal downtime compared to surgery. For patients seeking a more dramatic or permanent change, surgery might be considered, but it involves more extensive recovery and higher risks.
