The masseter muscle is a powerful muscle alongside the jaw that assists us in chewing. Many times, with increased stress or without our knowledge, we clench our jaws or grind our teeth at night. This can lead to soreness in the jaw as well as changes in facial shape due to hypertrophy of the muscle. By injecting neurotoxins into the muscle, this prevents the muscle from contracting which helps reduce the size over time. Not only can this help with achieving more jawline definition, but it can also relieve jaw pain, reduce clenching and teeth grinding.
