Masseter Botox
Treat the muscle, change the jaw
Sitting at the corner of your jaw, the masseter is the main muscle you chew with. A measured dose of Botox, Dysport or Xeomin relaxes it — slimming the jawline over time and taking pressure off a jaw that never quite rests.
Jawline slimming
Width at the jaw often comes from a well-developed masseter rather than bone. Once relaxed, the muscle slowly shrinks, and the lower face takes on a softer, slimmer shape across a few months.
Clenching and grinding
Daytime clenching and night-time grinding often go unnoticed until headaches or a sore jaw appear. Relaxing the masseter lowers the force of the habit, and the TMJ tension that comes with it.
The whole jaw, considered
The temporalis muscle at the temple often clenches alongside the masseter. Dr. Alex, DNP, checks both, and will only recommend treating the temple when it adds real benefit.
How it works
-
Consultation
Dr. Alex, DNP, reviews your health history and feels each masseter while you bite down, confirming the width is muscle that will respond. The plan and the exact cost are agreed before treatment.
-
Treatment
A few targeted injections on each side, with each side dosed on its own because jaws are rarely symmetrical. The treatment itself takes minutes.
-
Results
Clenching typically eases within two weeks. Slimming appears gradually over the next few months, and the effect usually lasts four to six months.

Masseter treatment with Dr. Alex, DNP
DNP, APRN, FNP-C
Dr. Alex, DNP, began nursing in New Jersey with a BSN from Georgian Court University, completed her master's and doctorate at Florida International University, and spent seven years in hospital medicine before moving into aesthetic medicine.
With the masseter, she assesses by feel: she has you clench, gauges each muscle separately and doses each side to match. She starts conservatively, because a small top-up at a follow-up is always better than too much.
Naturally refreshed. Prevention-focused.
Effortless beauty.

Questions
Masseter Botox in Oakhurst, answered
What people ask most before treating the masseter in Oakhurst. Something else? Call us.
(848) 275-3676How much does masseter Botox cost in Oakhurst, NJ?
Masseter treatment is priced per unit. A strong muscle like the masseter uses more units than a forehead line, and each side may need a different amount. Dr. Alex, DNP, decides the dose at your consultation after feeling the muscle, and you will have the full cost before treatment.
Will it slim my jaw, or help with clenching?
Usually both. Relaxing the masseter gradually slims a square jaw into a softer shape and reduces the clenching and grinding behind TMJ discomfort and morning jaw ache. Some wide jaws are bone rather than muscle, so Dr. Alex, DNP, will tell you at your consultation whether yours will respond.
How soon will I see results, and how long do they last?
Relief from clenching usually comes within two weeks. Slimming takes a few months to show as the muscle relaxes. Results generally last four to six months.
How many units will I need?
More than most facial areas, since the masseter is large and strong, and the left and right sides often differ. Dr. Alex, DNP, judges each side individually and starts low, because adding a little at a follow-up is easy and removing it is not possible.
Will it change my smile or how I chew?
Temporary chewing weakness or a change in smile symmetry can occur. Dr. Alex, DNP, assesses the surrounding muscles and discusses these risks before treatment. If you notice a change after your appointment, contact the office for advice.
Botox, Dysport or Xeomin — which one will I get?
Botox, Dysport and Xeomin are all available in Oakhurst and work the same way on the masseter. Dr. Alex, DNP, will recommend one at your consultation, and you are welcome to ask for one you have used before.
Can I drive myself home afterwards?
Yes. Most people drive themselves and go back to work. Keep upright, and avoid massaging your jaw or heavy exercise for the rest of the day. Small bumps fade quickly; bruising can occur, so allow two weeks before a big event.
Can I walk in for masseter Botox in Oakhurst?
No — Oakhurst runs on booked appointments only. Reserve online or call (848) 275-3676, and you will have dedicated time with Dr. Alex, DNP, including your consultation.
