I'm interested in this treatment for TMJ but in my research it seems to be referred to differently depending on the desired outcome. Is there actually a difference in treatments?
Answer: TMJ, TMD - V-Line Masseter, Jaw Slimming To answer your question - TMJ is a syndrome of symptoms that either cause headache, tension or clenching in the Temporo-Mandibular Joint area. Other people refer to it as TMD (D is for Disorder) and there are other variants as well. It's important to find an experienced provider as most practices only treat the masseter muscle. Sometimes - people require treatment in the temporal area as well if you are experiencing pain in that area. As a sufferer myself from TMJ headaches - it has helped tremendously. Most people require 20-25 units per side initially ($240-$300/side). The dosing and pricing will taper down as the effects cause the muscle to get smaller in size. These treatments will make the face look slimmer in approximately 3-4 weeks and has the added benefit of reducing tension for people with headaches, grinding teeth and TMJ. The effects can last 4-5 months.

Answer: TMJ versus jaw slimming Depending on your desired outcome, the neuromodulator dose and placement may be changed to help achieve improvement in function versus aesthetics. Discuss with your treating provider on which options are best for you.

Answer: Botox for TMJ Versus for jawline slimming / masseter / asian facial slimming / jawline contouring / botox platysma on the external surface they are the same however in some instances botox is done internally through the mouth for those with severe TMJ to the pterygoid muscles and then its a different procedure. you will get lower face slimming so consider fillers if you like a more squared jawline contour versus oval/slender. Best, Dr. Emer.

Answer: What is the difference between Botox for TMJ vs. for jaw slimming Thank you for sharing your question. The treatments are largely the same for patients but injections other than the masseter muscle alone may be done for TMJ. Hope this helps.

Answer: Botox for TMJ vs Slimming Botox for TMJ and jaw slimming both include injections into the masseter muscle. Because of this, the masseter muscle weakens, typically resulting in some jaw slimming. The dose of the treatment will vary depending on how strong the masseter muscle is and if the injections are performed with the purpose of alleviating clenching causing TMJ or simply for jaw slimming. Treatment of TMJ with Botox also may include injections into other muscles of the face related to the joint such as the temporalis. I hope this helps! - Dr. Julie Shelley, Oklahoma City, OK
