botox is commonly placed in the parotid gland and submandibular gland in order to decrease saliva production. the decrease in production effectively shrinks the gland somewhat and does so fairly rapidly as it appears to have faster onset than when working on muscle. The units vary depending on the size of the gland but typically range between 10-20 on each side.

The masseter is a very bulky muscle, and so it does require a higher dose of Botox to relax it than the dosages typically used to treat the muscles of facial expression. A very typical starting dose is 25 units/side. This will achieve full treatment in about 80% of patients.
