Masseter Tox treatment offers relief from jaw tension, teeth grinding (bruxism), and clenching by targeting the overactive masseter muscle. This minimally invasive procedure involves injecting neuromodulators into the masseter muscle, temporarily blocking nerve signals that cause excessive clenching. By relaxing the muscle, the treatment alleviates pain, reduces overactivity, and prevents further issues caused by grinding or clenching. The procedure is quick, typically lasting 20 to 30 minutes, and requires no downtime, making it a convenient option for those with busy schedules. While you can resume normal activities immediately, it is advisable to avoid extreme exercise for the first 24 hours. Results usually last between 3 to 6 months, depending on your metabolism and muscle activity, with regular maintenance sessions recommended for ongoing benefits. Additionally, many patients experience a slimming effect on the jawline, enhancing facial aesthetics.
