How is Masseter Botox Performed?

Masseter Botox is a very simple and short procedure. Before the procedure, the structure and activity of the muscle is evaluated by the specialist. Then botulinum toxin is injected into the masseter muscle with the help of fine-tipped needles. Local anesthesia is usually not required during the procedure, but anesthetic cream can be applied to the skin surface for people who are sensitive to the needle. The total procedure time is approximately 10-15 minutes.

What Should Be Considered After Treatment?

The healing process after the procedure is quite fast. The Botox treated area should not be massaged or pressurized for the first 24 hours. It is recommended to avoid heavy exercise and extremely hot environments (e.g. sauna). Mild redness and swelling may occur, but these effects usually disappear within a few hours.
