🦷 Oswego, IL · TMJ · Bruxism · Jaw Slimming
Botox injected into the masseter muscle does two powerful things: slims a wide or square jawline for a more oval face shape, and relieves TMJ pain, teeth grinding, and jaw clenching. Licensed NPs. Free consultations.
The masseter is the chewing muscle along your jaw. When it\'s overdeveloped, it creates a wide, square lower face. Botox gradually reduces the muscle bulk over 6–12 weeks, creating a slimmer, softer, more feminine oval or heart-shaped face.
Teeth grinding (bruxism) and jaw clenching can cause chronic headaches, jaw pain, cracked teeth, and disrupted sleep. Masseter Botox relaxes the muscle, dramatically reducing grinding force and providing real relief.
Masseter Botox involves injecting botulinum toxin into the masseter (jaw) muscle to relax it. This reduces the bulk of the muscle, creating a slimmer, more oval face shape — and relieves symptoms of TMJ disorder, teeth grinding (bruxism), and jaw clenching. Hello Gorgeous offers masseter Botox in Oswego.
Yes — masseter Botox is one of the most effective treatments for bruxism (teeth grinding) and jaw clenching. By relaxing the masseter muscle, it reduces the force of grinding, alleviates jaw pain, headaches, and can protect your teeth from wear.
Most clients need 20–40 units per side (40–80 units total) for masseter Botox. The exact amount depends on the size and strength of your masseter muscle, which your NP will assess at your free consultation.
Masseter Botox typically lasts 3–6 months. With consistent treatment over 1–2 years, the muscle can permanently reduce in size, and many clients need less frequent touch-ups over time.
You'll feel TMJ/grinding relief within 1–2 weeks. The visible jaw slimming effect takes 4–6 weeks to become noticeable as the muscle gradually atrophies. Full results appear at 2–3 months.
The masseter is a large, accessible muscle — injections are brief and most clients describe minimal discomfort. Numbing cream is available. No downtime is required.
Ideal candidates have a wide or square jawline they want to slim, suffer from bruxism or jaw clenching, experience TMJ headaches or jaw pain, or wake up with sore teeth or tight jaw muscles.

“DON'T PASS THIS PLACE UP! I'm so happy with my B12 and Biotin vitamin shots, and the pricing is great. I'm also receiving Botox to treat referred pain and my results are amazing. I'm so happy! Ryan is knowledgeable, trustworthy, and excellent at administering the injections painlessly. Both Ryan and Danielle are so welcoming that you feel like you're with friends during your visit. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!”

“Love Hello Gorgeous! I’ve gotten my lashes done by Michelle a few times and they always turn out amazing. Recently started Frotox with Danielle and my skin has never looked better & after 1 session I already see some of the results I want. They’re both so great at what they do I can’t recommend them enough! Sending my friends & fam here for their pre-holiday glam :)”
