Masseter Botox is one of the most versatile and effective treatments for men dealing with:
Jaw clenching / grinding (bruxism)
TMJ tension or pain
Overdeveloped jaw muscles
A boxy or overly wide lower face
By relaxing the masseter muscles — located at the back of the jaw — Botox reduces excessive muscle activity and can subtly reshape the lower face. For men, the goal is often functional relief (bruxism reduction) combined with contouring and better jawline definition, without creating a feminine “V-shape.”
Bangkok is a leading destination for masseter Botox, thanks to experienced injectors who understand male facial anatomy and how to preserve strong, masculine features.
This guide explains how the treatment works, who it’s for, and what results men can expect.
What Is Masseter Botox?
Masseter Botox involves injecting small amounts of botulinum toxin into the masseter muscles, located at the angle of the jaw.
What it does:
Relaxes overactive jaw muscles
Reduces grinding, clenching, and TMJ symptoms
Slims the lower face by reducing muscle bulk
Creates better facial symmetry
Enhances jawline definition by reducing muscle tension
The treatment does not affect chewing ability — only excessive force.
Who Is Masseter Botox Ideal For?
Men who benefit most include those who:
Grind or clench their teeth at night
Wake up with jaw pain or headaches
Have overly strong or enlarged jaw muscles
Want a cleaner, sharper, more defined jawline
Feel tightness or fatigue in the jaw
Have asymmetry in the jaw region
Want to reduce a “bulky” lower face
It is especially helpful for men who chew gum frequently, lift heavy weights, or hold tension in their jaw.
