Would the Botox injection technique affect the results to my masseter?

January 23, 2019
Asked By:GataC in Australia, AU

To treat bruxism, I had 50 units then topped up another 50 after a month. My doctor only did one injection on each side of my jaws. However, I saw online videos that it is more common to inject 3 to 5 different spots on the masseter. It has been 6 days since the top up. I have not found my jaws relaxed and I still grind a lot. Visually my face is not getting much slimmer. Would the single injection method cause a different result?
