Masseter Botox Treatments
Jaw Slimming & TMJ Relief at HY Cosmetics & Minor Surgery
Masseter Botox Treatments in Ottawa
Masseter Botox is commonly chosen by patients who deal with jaw pain, jaw tension, teeth grinding, or a lower face that feels wider or heavier than they’d like. By relaxing the masseter muscles (or the strong muscles used for chewing), Botox can gradually reduce muscle bulk while easing the pressure that leads to clenching and discomfort. At our Botox clinic in Ottawa, sessions typically use 25-50 units per side, with results visible in 2-4 weeks and lasting 4-6 months.
At HY Cosmetics & Minor Surgery, Masseter Botox is planned carefully around your jaw structure, bite, and muscle activity. Our treatments are designed to soften the muscle activity along your jaw without affecting normal chewing or facial movement. Beyond appearance, this treatment is often helpful for people managing TMJ-related pain, tension headaches, or nighttime grinding.

Why Patients in Ottawa Choose Us for Masseter Botox
Patients often come to us looking for relief they can trust, without guesswork or overly aggressive treatment. Our approach is guided by anatomy, experience, and an understanding of how the jaw functions over time.
What patients value most:
- Injector training focused on facial anatomy and jaw mechanics
- Conservative dosing to protect function while achieving visible change
- A private clinic setting with medical oversight
- Clear explanations and realistic expectations
How Masseter Botox Works
- A softer, more balanced lower face
- Less clenching and grinding

The change happens gradually, which helps the results look natural rather than sudden.
