Introduction to Masseter/TMJ Treatment

TMJ (temporomandibular joint) disorders can lead to jaw tension, headaches, and pain. At the same time, the masseter muscle may expand, distorting the facial shape.

With five convenient locations in Fayetteville, McDonough, Alpharetta, Buckhead, and Newnan, GA, Truffles Aesthetics provides BOTOX for TMJ treatments to patients from all areas of Atlanta and the surrounding area.

TMJ disorder can cause a range of symptoms, including teeth grinding, a clenched jaw, headaches, facial pain, tight muscles, and an altered facial shape. BOTOX injections can combat these concerns, offering quick relief without surgery or downtime. BOTOX works by temporarily blocking nerve signals that tell the brain to contract certain muscles. When injected into the masseter muscle, BOTOX alleviates chronic pain, increasing peace of mind and well-being.

BOTOX For Jaw Slimming

The teeth grinding and jaw clenching associated with TMJ can cause discomfort and change the shape of your face, leading to a bulkier, square-looking jawline. By relaxing the masseter muscle and allowing it to return to its normal shape and size, BOTOX can slim the lower face, creating the universally admired V-shaped contour.

What Are the Benefits of Masseter/TMJ Treatment?

BOTOX for TMJ pain and jaw slimming comes with multiple benefits, including the following:

Painless, short treatment
Non-surgical and non-invasive
Patients can return to their normal activities right away
Results last 4-6 months
Streamlines and slims the jaw profile
Relieves tension, discomfort, and headaches
Improves quality of life

Who Are the Best Candidates for Masseter/TMJ Treatment?

BOTOX is a trusted and effective solution for discomfort related to TMJ. Good candidates have often tried night guards and medications without experiencing the relief they desire. Candidates for masseter BOTOX may also seek non-invasive jaw slimming that will restore their naturally slim and sculpted facial shape. The best way to tell for sure whether BOTOX will meet your needs is to meet with our experienced providers at Truffles Aesthetics in Atlanta for a private consultation.

Let’s Get Started

What’s the
first step?

Your treatment journey begins with an informative consultation at our luxury medspa in the heart of Atlanta. During this initial meeting, we will examine your jaw, review your medical history, listen carefully to your concerns, and answer all of your questions with precision and transparency. We want to ensure that BOTOX is a safe and effective solution for relieving tension and pain.

Once your candidacy for BOTOX injections has been confirmed and your treatment date has been set, you should follow a few simple guidelines to prepare for your session properly by limiting your caffeine and alcohol intake.

What to Expect on the Day of Masseter/TMJ Treatment

When you arrive at our medspa in Atlanta, we will first take some pre-treatment photos for comparison. Next, your injection points will be carefully mapped out, and then your injector will administer BOTOX according to your predetermined treatment plan. The number of BOTOX units needed will vary based on the masseter muscle size and the areas of the face most affected by TMJ tension.

Masseter/TMJ Treatment Recovery

BOTOX injections for TMJ pain and jaw contouring come with no downtime, so you’ll be up and running a few minutes after your appointment. Mild side effects include swelling, bruising, and tenderness at the injection sites. These symptoms tend to fade quickly but disappear within a day or so. You should avoid massaging, rubbing, or touching the treatment zones, as this can lead to product migration into unintended facial areas. Full results can be seen within several weeks, and improvements last from 4 to 6 months.
