Treatments
Masseter Botox treatment is a popular procedure used to improve facial aesthetics and functional problems. This treatment is particularly effective in eliminating aesthetic and functional problems that occur in the face due to overactivity of the masseter muscle. The masseter muscle is a large facial muscle that has an important role in chewing function and is located in the lower part of the cheeks.
Usage Areas of Masseter Botox Treatment
Facial Aesthetics
An overdeveloped masseter muscle can lead to a widening of the lower part of the face and a more square face shape. Botox application reduces the size of this muscle, resulting in a more oval face shape.
Bruxism (Teeth Grinding):
Bruxism is the unconscious clenching and grinding of teeth during sleep or during the day. Masseter Botox treatment alleviates this problem by reducing the activity of the muscle and reduces the pressure on the teeth.
Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ) Disorders:
TMJ disorders cause pain and dysfunction in and around the jaw joint. Botox relaxation of the masseter muscle can reduce pain and tension in this area.
Treatment Process
Evaluation:
Before starting treatment, the patient's medical history is assessed and an examination of the masseter muscle is performed. This is important to determine the appropriateness and dosage of treatment.
Implementation:
Botox is administered in small injections into the masseter muscle. The procedure is usually quick and relatively painless.
Results and Follow-up:
The effects of Botox application usually start to be seen within a few days and last for several months. After the treatment, regular follow-up and reapplications can be made if necessary.
