I suffer from teeth grinding and tensing my jaw, and I can feel knots in the muscles when I press along my jaw - a bit like you might feel if you had a knot in your back. Is one of the aims of masseter Botox to reduce/ get rid of the knots? Or just to make the muscles weaker?

Answer: What does masseter Botox achieve? Masseter Botox may result in jawline slimming and relief of many TMJ symptoms. I'm not sure about the "knots". Most people who clench may require a total of 75-100 u of Botox for a desired outcome. Hope this helps! Dr Joseph

Answer: Masseter Botox - what is the aim for the muscles? (photo) Thank you for sharing your question and photograph. Botox's aim is to reduce the muscle strength of the masseters, leading to some atrophy which will also help to reduce the knots that you experience. Hope this helps.
