Masseter botox applied for the treatment of this ailment is an aesthetic procedure in which the lower part of the face, where the masseter muscle is located, is thinned.
Especially during periods of intense stress, people may clench their teeth without realizing it. As a result, problems such as erosion of tooth enamel, jaw problems, headaches occur. However, the habit of clenching leads to enlargement of the facial and chewing muscles. As a result, a more masculine and hard appearance appears on the face. Excessive growth of the masseter muscle can cause discomfort both aesthetically and physically.
Therefore, this procedure, also known as clenching botox, is sometimes applied with the goal of both shape and functional treatment.
