Can Botox masseter wear off in two weeks?

Our masseter muscles are much stronger than most of the muscles that Botox treats and therefore require larger doses. If you don’t think the Botox is working for you, go back to your injector for another dose. Most dermatologists would rather err on the side of caution than give too much of any product. It’s always easier to add more than to wait for effects to diminish. If this is your first time being treated, then your effective dose is just being established.

Hello and thanks for the question.Massater  muscle is very strong and sometimes addtional units may be needed. You should be reevaluated to see what are the causes and possible treatment options exist.Best,

The standard range for treatment of the Masseters ranges from a total of 50-100 units and so you were treated very conservatively.  I personally find that most patients need at least 80 units to achieve effective results and so would suggest that you ask for more units with your next treatment. I hope that helps and wish you the very best!Warmest regards,Gregory A Buford MD FACSBoard Certified Plastic Surgeon and Author
