WHAT IS MASSETER BOTOX?

Botox is an injectable muscle relaxer. It uses onabotulinumtoxinA, a neurotoxin that temporarily paralyzes the muscle. If it’s used in your masseter muscles it can also help with slimming of the jaw/ face and manage facial pain.
 
The masseter is one of the muscles that helps you chew. The masseter is located on the side of your face that connects your cheekbone to your lower jawbone.

WHY BOTOX COSMETIC?

BOTOX Cosmetic works beneath the surface to temporarily reduce the underlying muscle activity that cause moderate to severe frown lines, crow’s feet lines, and forehead lines in adults- to help them look visibly smoother.

ONLY BOTOX COSMETIC CAN DELIVER THE LOOK OF 3:

3 areas:
Only BOTOX Cosmetic is FDA approved to temporarily improve the look of 3 areas-moderate to severe frown lines, crow’s feet lines, and forehead lines in adults.

64 Units:
Dosing is key to achieving desired results. BOTOX Cosmetic dosing has been proven through rigorous testing-20 Units in your frown lines, 24 Units in your crow’s feet lines, and 20 Units in your forehead lines.

At least 3 times a year:
It’s important to space out your treatments-
at 90 days apart. Since the BOTOX Cosmetic effect is temporary, you’ll need to be consistent with scheduling your next assessment.

WHAT TO EXPECT

What is treatment like?

Treatment is usually quick and easy to fit into a busy schedule. Some people say it feels like

a pinch.

You may begin to notice results within 24 to 48 hours, with full results in 30 days-and they may last up to 4 months for moderate to severe frown lines.
