If you’ve ever caught yourself clenching your jaw, grinding your teeth, or wishing your jawline looked a little softer – this one’s for you. We sat down with Federica from Faces By Bae to talk all things Masseter Botox – what it is, who it’s for, and why so many people call it life-changing.
What exactly is Masseter Botox?
The masseter is one of the main muscles in your jaw – it’s what helps you chew, clench, and grind. When it becomes overworked, it can make your jawline look wider and even cause tension or headaches.
Masseter Botox works by gently relaxing that muscle. The result? A slimmer, softer jawline and a noticeable sense of relief if you struggle with tightness or clenching.
“It’s honestly life-changing for people who deal with jaw tension or an overly square jawline,” says Federica.
How do I know if I’m suitable for it?
If you catch yourself clenching your jaw throughout the day, grinding your teeth at night, or simply feel like your lower face looks a bit heavy or square, it’s definitely worth booking a consultation.
During your appointment, Federica will assess your muscle strength and talk through your goals to create a treatment plan that’s completely tailored to you.
“Most of my clients tell me they wish they’d done it sooner once they see the results!”
Will it change how my face looks?
Yes, but in a very natural way. You’ll still look like you, just a slightly softer, more balanced version.
Masseter Botox helps create a gentle V-line effect through the jawline, giving your face a more refined shape without making you look “done.”
“It’s not about changing your face; it’s about enhancing what’s already there,” explains Federica.
Does it hurt or make you swell up?
Good news – it’s super quick and comfortable! You’ll feel a few tiny pinches, but most clients are surprised by how easy it is.
There’s no swelling or downtime, so you can go straight back to work or your plans afterwards. It’s what we like to call a ‘lunchtime tweakment’ – minimal fuss, maximum results.
At most, you might get a small bruise that’s easily covered the next day.
How long do the results last?
Results usually last around 3–4 months, depending on your muscle strength and how your body metabolises Botox.
“Once you’ve seen the difference, you’ll definitely want to keep it up, not just for the look, but for how much more relaxed your face feels,” says Federica.
Many regular clients pre-book their top-ups to maintain that soft, sculpted look year-round.
Can it help with teeth grinding or headaches?
Absolutely. While many clients come in for aesthetic reasons, the functional benefits are just as impressive.
“I’ve had clients message me weeks later saying their headaches are gone, their jaw feels lighter, and they’re sleeping better,” shares Federica.
That’s the beauty of Masseter Botox. it’s not just about how you look, it’s about how you feel.
When will I start to see results?
You’ll begin to notice a difference after about 2–3 weeks. It’s a gradual change, your face will start to feel less tense and look more refined.
Most people won’t be able to pinpoint exactly what’s different, just that you look refreshed and slimmer in the face (which is always the goal!).
