How Does Jaw Botox Work?
Botox, a brand-name version of botulinum toxin type A, is a neuromodulator that blocks the nerve signals to the muscles. The muscles are then temporarily unable to move and can relax. When Botox is injected into an overdeveloped masseter muscle, the muscle relaxes and gradually shrinks down to create slimmer facial proportions.
The Consultation
Patients must consult Dr. Rami Batniji before getting jaw Botox. They must tell Dr. Batniji about their goals for the procedure, along with their complete medical history.
After examining the patientโs face, Dr. Batniji will decide on the number of syringes needed and the injection sites. He will also explain the treatment in greater detail, including any necessary aftercare.
What Are the Benefits of Jaw Botox?
Once the jaw Botox procedure is complete, no recovery time is needed, so patients can go right back to their everyday activities without downtime. For 24 hours, the patient should not rub the treated area and should avoid any kind of pressure on it. They should also avoid exercising. Taking these precautions will help prevent the spread of the product to other parts of the face.
Results
Clenching starts to settle down in a week, and contouring of the jaw will become visible in about a monthโs time. After three to four months, a repeat of the procedure is needed, since the effect of Botox wears off at this time.
How Much Does Jaw Botox Cost?
Jaw Botox for masseter reduction is not covered by health insurance, since it is a purely cosmetic procedure. Its price is dependent on the number of units of Botox required.
Botox for bruxism is a functional procedure, meaning that in some cases, its cost may be covered. Contact your health insurance company to find out whether they cover Botox for bruxism.
