Release tension, refine your profile, and restore comfort with TMJ treatment. Subtle facial slimming meets everyday relief—so you can enjoy effortless beauty, ease, and balance in every expression.
At Aesthetics by Vivi, we offer targeted Botox® treatments to help relieve the painful symptoms of TMJ (temporomandibular joint) dysfunction, jaw tension, and teeth grinding. By relaxing the overactive masseter muscles, this treatment helps reduce clenching, ease discomfort, and even slim the lower face for a softer, more contoured appearance.
This minimally invasive procedure is ideal for clients experiencing jaw pain, tension headaches, facial tightness, or bruxism (teeth grinding), often caused by stress or jaw misalignment. Botox works by temporarily reducing muscle activity, allowing the jaw to rest and reset—while providing both functional relief and cosmetic benefit.
Treatments are customized by Nurse Vivi to your anatomy and symptoms, ensuring safe, effective, and balanced results.
Every TMJ treatment begins with a detailed consultation. Nurse Vivi will evaluate your symptoms—such as jaw pain, clenching, tension headaches, or facial tightness—and assess your masseter muscle activity to determine if Botox is the right treatment for you.
Botox is precisely injected into the masseter muscles, the key muscles responsible for clenching and grinding. Treatment typically takes 15–20 minutes, and no anesthesia is required. Most clients describe the experience as quick and straightforward, with minimal interruption to their day.
Within 1 to 2 weeks, you’ll begin to feel relief from tightness, jaw discomfort, and clenching. Over time, consistent treatments may also result in a slimmer, more tapered jawline, as the masseter muscles relax and reduce in size. Results typically last 3 to 4 months, depending on muscle strength and treatment goals.
Only FDA-approved Botox® is used, sourced directly from trusted, licensed medical distributors. All products meet the highest safety and quality standards to ensure reliable, effective treatment
Botox for TMJ is designed to relieve pain, reduce tension, and restore comfort—while offering subtle aesthetic benefits. At Aesthetics by Vivi, TMJ treatments are commonly used to:
Treatments are tailored to address both functional relief and cosmetic goals, helping you feel more comfortable and confident.
TMJ refers to the temporomandibular joint, which connects your jaw to your skull. Overactivity of the surrounding muscles—often from stress, grinding, or clenching—can cause pain, tightness, and limited movement. Botox is used to relax the masseter muscles, reducing tension, relieving discomfort, and improving jaw function.
Over time, relaxing the masseter muscles can lead to a slimmer, more tapered jawline—especially if those muscles were enlarged from clenching. Many clients appreciate both the functional relief and the added cosmetic benefit.
Most clients begin to feel relief within 5 to 10 days, with full effects around 2 weeks post-treatment. Results typically last 3 to 4 months, depending on muscle strength and severity of symptoms.
There is little to no downtime. You may experience mild swelling or tenderness at the injection site, but most clients resume normal activities immediately.
Yes. Botox is FDA-approved and has been safely used for both cosmetic and therapeutic purposes for decades. When injected properly into the masseter muscle, it offers a safe and effective solution for TMJ-related symptoms.
