If you clench your jaw, grind your teeth, or feel tension through the sides of your face, your masseter muscles may be working overtime. Treatment of the masseter muscle with Tox helps relax these strong jaw muscles to ease tension, reduce clenching and grinding, and soften discomfort caused by an overactive bite. As the muscle relaxes over time, it can also create a slimmer and softer lower-face achieving a more heart-shaped facial contour.
If you carry stress in your jaw, masseter tox can help calm the strong muscles responsible for clenching and tension. As the muscles relax, many clients notice less tightness through the jaw and improved comfort.
An overactive masseter muscle can create a heavier, more square appearance through the jawline. By relaxing the muscle with tox, the masseter will slowly reduce in size revealing a more refined, heart-shaped lower face.
Slim and soften the lower face by reducing the strength and activity of the jaw muscles. As these muscles relax and become less overworked, the lower face can appear less square, softer, and more feminine over time.
We love masseter tox because it beautifully blends facial slimming with real jaw tension relief. Aesthetically, it helps relax and gradually slim overactive masseter muscles for a softer, more balanced lower-face shape. Therapeutically, it can help reduce jaw clenching, teeth grinding, tension, and discomfort caused by an overworked jaw. It’s low-maintenance, natural-looking, and perfect for anyone wanting a more refined facial contour or relief from tension carried in the jaw.

Clients with lower-face heaviness, skin laxity, or visible jowling may not be ideal candidates for masseter tox. Since the treatment relaxes and gradually slims the masseter muscle, it can reduce support in the lower face and may make jowling appear more noticeable in some clients.
