How often should masseter Botox be redone?

Botox does work well to help
alleviate bruxism and teeth grinding by
softening and weakening the masseter muscle. The Botox treatment can last up to
6 months.
Botox will also improve then shape and contour of the masseter by causing
atrophy. This
should be done in the hands of a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon or Dermatologist.#plasticsurgery#drrodrohrich#botox

Botox usually lasts 3-4 months, so you should be able to be treated again after 3-4 months when the Botox begins to wear off. I suggest consulting with an experienced dermatologist. Best, Dr. Emer

Botox typically lasts anywhere between 3-4 months. You should get a subsequent treatment at those time intervals. After a few treatment sessions, you will see that one of the the chewing muscles (masseter) will shrink and your lower face will look more narrowed. After a few treatment sessions (2-4), you can start spacing the repeat Botox treatments out to every 4-6 months. You should follow-up with your physician to come up with a long-term treatment plan. Best wishes!

You can usually redose the Botox around every 3-4 months at first.  After a few treatments, you will notice that the masseter muscle will begin to atrophy and your face will look slimmer and the grinding will be less.  You can then increase the time between treatment sessions (maybe 6 months).  I would talk to your doctor about this, after your next treatment.

Botox is a great treatment for the masseter muscles. It should relax this area for up to 4 months. Please consult an expert.  Best, Dr. Green
