    Jaw & Contour

    Masseter Botox in Karlsruhe

    Slimmer jawline, less teeth grinding. Through targeted relaxation of the masseter muscle.

    Medically reviewed by the Derma Luma medical team · Last updated: October 2026

    What Does Masseter Botox Achieve?

    The masseter muscle is the strongest chewing muscle and largely responsible for the shape of the lower face. In many people, this muscle is pronounced due to teeth grinding (bruxism), stress, or genetics – leading to a square, wide jawline.

    Masseter Botox relaxes this muscle in a targeted way. The result: The muscle reduces in size, the jawline becomes slimmer and more harmonious. At the same time, discomfort from teeth grinding is significantly relieved.

    Whether for aesthetic reasons or to treat bruxism – Masseter Botox offers a non-surgical solution for a slimmer face and more relaxed jaw.

    Treatment Areas

    Applications

    A wide, angular lower jaw can make the face appear masculine. Masseter Botox reduces muscle volume and creates a softer, V-shaped facial contour – particularly popular with women.

    Nighttime teeth grinding leads to tooth damage, jaw pain, and headaches. Botox relaxes the overactive chewing muscle and significantly reduces the force of clenching.

    Chronic temporomandibular disorders can be relieved with Masseter Botox. Muscle relaxation reduces the strain on the jaw joint.

    Tension in the jaw area can trigger headaches. By relaxing the masseter, many patients report significant improvement.

    2
    Injection: Botox is injected at multiple points into the chewing muscle. Treatment takes about 10-15 minutes.

    Observation: Volume reduction becomes visible after 4-8 weeks as the muscle reduces due to decreased activity.
