Masseter Botox in Tigard, OR
CosMed Aesthetics specializes in precise, natural-looking masseter Botox treatments in Tigard, OR. Masseter Botox relaxes the jaw muscles responsible for teeth grinding, jaw clenching, and a wide or square lower face, helping create a softer facial contour while relieving muscle tension.
This treatment is ideal for clients who experience jaw pain, TMJ-related discomfort, nighttime grinding, or want a slimmer, more balanced lower face. Our experienced medical injectors use conservative dosing and customized placement to ensure effective muscle relaxation without affecting normal chewing or facial expression. Using FDA-approved neuromodulators such as Botox®, Dysport®, and Jeuveau®, we focus on functional relief and refined aesthetic results that look natural and well-balanced.

What Is Masseter Botox?
Masseter Botox targets the large chewing muscles at the back of the jaw (masseter muscles). These muscles can become enlarged due to:
Teeth grinding (bruxism)
Jaw clenching
TMJ-related tension
Chronic stress
When overactive, they may cause facial widening, jaw pain, headaches, or stiffness.
Botox relaxes these muscles gradually, helping to:
Reduce muscle bulk
Soften a square jawline
Relieve tension and discomfort
Improve facial symmetry

Why Botox Works for the Masseter Muscles
Masseter Botox is highly effective because:
The muscle is strong and well-defined
Botox safely reduces overactivity
Results are both functional and aesthetic
Slimming occurs gradually and naturally
Relief from clenching often begins within weeks
When performed correctly, chewing and speaking remain normal.
