Jaw BotoxConveniently located to serve San Ramon, Pleasanton, Walnut Creek, and surrounding areas

Jaw Botox for San Ramon and Walnut Creek patients is a minimally invasive procedure that involves injecting Botox into the masseter muscle. This muscle, located in the jaw area, is quite large and helps with chewing. Depending on the patient’s needs, the jaw Botox procedure can offer both cosmetic and functional benefits.

Why Do People Come In for Jaw Botox?

Jaw Botox is a way to slim down a square jawline and a method of treating teeth grinding, also called bruxism.

There are some people in this world who are naturally blessed with refined jawlines. There are also many who have a too-square and overly masculine jawline as a result of an overdeveloped masseter muscle.

With Botox injections, these people can reduce their masseter muscle in size, resulting in a slim, refined, and aesthetically pleasing jawline.

Apart from improving jawline appearance, a Botox treatment can also help people who experience frequent jaw clenching. This condition is typically related to stress and anxiety, and it can occur at night or during the day. Worrying about tooth grinding only increases anxiety, continuing the bruxism cycle. With Botox, this condition can be put to rest.

Preparation for Treatment

Before coming in for a jaw Botox treatment, you will need to arrange a consultation. During this consultation, be transparent regarding your medical history so that we can recommend the best course of action. If you have any muscle or nerve disorders, you may not be eligible for Botox treatment.

If you’re taking any medications or supplements, mention them during this consultation. Typically, patients are required to avoid drugs such as ibuprofen, aspirin, vitamin E, warfarin, and allergy medications during the preparation phase. You may also have to make certain lifestyle changes, such as stopping drinking and smoking.

The Treatment Session

This procedure is quite simple and very quick. At the start of Botox jaw treatment, the practitioner will mark the areas that need to be treated, and then the Botox injections are delivered to the marked sites.

Post-Treatment Recovery

After the Botox treatment, you can return to your everyday schedule without any need for recovery time or downtime. You may experience temporary minor side effects such as bruising, redness, and swelling. These side effects are completely normal, even if you take certain precautions during the preparation phase. To allow the skin to heal well, you should avoid rubbing or touching the injection sites.

For masseter reduction, you will need to be patient for at least two to three weeks for the full results to become visible. During this time, the masseter muscle tissue will shrink, making the face look slimmer.

The effects of Botox injections typically begin to wane after three to four months. After this point, you will need to schedule another treatment in order to experience sustained results.

How Much Does Jaw Botox Cost?

The price of jaw Botox depends on several factors. The number of injections required plays a role, as does the number of units of Botox needed. Though Botox to address bruxism is a functional procedure, it is not often covered by health insurance. Still, it is best to contact your medical insurance provider to check on this.
