Jawline Slimming (Masseter Botox®)
Jawline Slimming (Masseter Botox®) in Lee's Summit, MO
Sculpt a Softer, More Balanced Look at Skin Fit Medical Spa
If you’ve noticed your jawline looking more square or prominent due to muscle tension or grinding, Masseter Botox® offers a non-surgical solution for a slimmer, more refined lower face. At Skin Fit Medical Spa in Lee’s Summit, our expert injectors specialize in precise treatments that relax the overactive jaw muscles to create a softer, more contoured appearance.
This treatment uses targeted masseter injections to reduce the bulk of the masseter muscle, which can enlarge over time due to teeth grinding or clenching. The result is a slimmer jawline, improved facial symmetry, and relief from jaw tension, all with minimal downtime and natural-looking results.
What Is the Masseter Muscle?
The masseter muscle is one of the main muscles responsible for chewing. When overdeveloped, it can cause the lower face to look wide or boxy, creating a more masculine or heavy appearance. Overuse, caused by stress, jaw clenching, or teeth grinding, can gradually amplify this muscle over time.
The treatment gently relaxes the muscle, allowing it to reduce in size gradually. This leads to a more slender jawline and can also alleviate tension, jaw pain, and headaches caused by clenching.
How Masseter Botox® Works
Botox® in the jaw works by temporarily relaxing the masseter muscle, reducing its size and activity. Our skilled injectors strategically place masseter muscle injections to achieve natural contouring while preserving your ability to chew and speak comfortably.
Over time, the muscle becomes less prominent, resulting in a smoother, V-shaped contour to your face. The transformation is gradual and subtle, offering noticeable results without surgery or downtime.
Patients can often see visible results after a few weeks, with continued refinement over several months.
What to Expect During Treatment
Your jaw Botox® treatment begins with assessing your facial structure and discussing your goals. Generally, the procedure takes 15 to 20 minutes. Small, precise masseter muscle injections are placed along the jaw with a fine needle.
Discomfort is minimal; many clients describe it as quick pinches. There’s no downtime, and you can return to work or social plans immediately after treatment.
Results & Recovery
You may begin to notice changes after 2 to 4 weeks, with optimal results visible after 6 to 8 weeks. The jawline appears softer, more tapered, and naturally balanced. Typically, the results last 4 to 6 months, depending on the level of muscle activity and individual metabolism.
For optimal results, your injector will recommend regular maintenance sessions and may adjust your units over time to achieve an ideal outcome.

Treatment Options
At Skin Fit Medical Spa, we offer both Dysport® and Botox® to target fine lines and dynamic wrinkles. Both relax facial muscles, but Dysport® tends to diffuse more easily, making it an excellent choice for larger areas like the forehead.
Our injectors may also pair this treatment with dermal fillers, often called a Dysport® filler combination, for a more comprehensive facial rejuvenation. During your consultation, we’ll discuss whether this approach aligns with your goals for smoother, youthful-looking skin.
