Brand: Aloha Med Spa
Availability: InStock

At Aloha Med Spa, we offer masseter reduction treatments using advanced Botox techniques to address TMJ-related concerns effectively. By targeting the masseter muscles responsible for jaw movement and clenching, our skilled practitioners can alleviate TMJ symptoms and achieve facial slimming. Botox injections into the masseter muscles help relax them, reducing their size over time and alleviating pain associated with TMJ disorders.

Masseter reduction with TMJ (temporomandibular joint) refers to a cosmetic procedure that involves injecting botulinum toxin (Botox) into the masseter muscles of the jaw. This non-invasive procedure not only improves jaw function but also enhances facial contours, providing our clients with a more balanced and aesthetically pleasing appearance. Experience relief from TMJ discomfort and achieve facial harmony with our tailored masseter reduction treatments

For maintenance, Botox injections for TMJ are usually repeated every 3 to 6 months.

The timing may vary based on how quickly symptoms return and the individual's response to Botox.

People with Chronic Jaw Pain:

Those suffering from persistent jaw pain, tenderness, or discomfort related to TMJ disorders can benefit from Botox, which helps relax the muscles and reduce pain.

Individuals with Bruxism:

Patients who grind or clench their teeth excessively (bruxism) often develop TMJ disorders. Botox can alleviate the muscle tension associated with bruxism, thereby reducing wear on the teeth and jaw pain.

Those Experiencing Jaw Tension and Muscle Spasms:

Botox can help reduce muscle tension and spasms in the jaw, providing relief from stiffness and discomfort.

Patients with Limited Jaw Movement:

Individuals who have difficulty opening or closing their mouths due to TMJ disorders may find that Botox helps improve their range of motion by relaxing the masseter muscles.

People with Headaches or Migraines Linked to TMJ:

Chronic headaches or migraines that are linked to TMJ disorders can be alleviated by reducing muscle tension in the jaw with Botox injections.

Individuals Looking for Non-Surgical Treatment Options:

Those seeking a non-invasive, non-surgical treatment for TMJ disorders may prefer Botox as a less risky alternative to surgical interventions.

Patients Who Have Not Found Relief with Other Treatments:

People who have tried other treatments such as physical therapy, oral appliances, or medications without sufficient relief may benefit from trying Botox injections.

Individuals Concerned with Facial Aesthetics:

Botox can also help reduce the size of hypertrophic masseter muscles, providing both functional relief from TMJ symptoms and cosmetic benefits by slimming the jawline.

How Masseter Reduction Works

Detailed Assessment

At Aloha Med Spa, your treatment begins with a thorough assessment to understand your specific TMJ-related concerns and goals. Our experts will evaluate your jaw function, pain levels, and the aesthetic appearance of your jawline to tailor the Botox treatment perfectly to your needs.

Precision Botox Injections

Our skilled practitioners use advanced techniques to inject Botox precisely into the masseter muscles, which are responsible for jaw movement and clenching. This targeted approach helps relax the muscles, reducing their size and activity, which alleviates TMJ symptoms such as pain, tension, and bruxism.

Relief and Enhancement

Following the Botox injections, you’ll begin to experience relief from TMJ discomfort and notice a gradual slimming of the jawline, enhancing facial harmony. The full benefits are typically observed within a few weeks, with effects lasting from 3 to 6 months. Regular follow-up treatments are recommended to maintain the desired results and continued relief from TMJ symptoms.

This non-invasive procedure not only improves the functional aspects of TMJ but also enhances the aesthetic contour of your face, providing a dual benefit.

For best results, it is advised to avoid sun exposure and the following products & procedures at least 1 week prior to your treatment:
- Electrolysis
- Waxing
- Depilatory Creams
- Laser hair removal
- Any exfoliating products
- Shaving of the area to be treated
- Any products that may be drying or irritating, including products containing salicylic
  acid, alpha hydroxy acids, vitamin c, hydroquinone, retinoids, and prescription medications.
- Massage the treated area to evenly distribute Sculptra. A good rule of thumb is5-5-5: Massage the injected area for 5 minutes, 5 times a day, for 5 days in a row.1
- The rejuvenating effects of Sculptra can last up to two years, making it a long-lasting solution for facial volume restoration. Regular maintenance sessions can be scheduled as needed to sustain the results.
- While Sculptra is generally well-tolerated, patients may experience some common side effects such as redness, swelling, bruising, or tenderness at the injection sites. These effects are usually temporary and resolve on their own.
- NOTE: Some immediate results may be visible after the first session, but it’s important to note, the full effects become more apparent as collagen continues to develop. Stay cool! Heating internally can cause hyperpigmentation.
- Do not put treated area directly into a hot shower spray.
- Do not use hot tubs, steam rooms or saunas.
- Do not go swimming.
- Do not participate in activities that would cause excessive perspiration.
- Do not use loofahs or other means of exfoliation.
- Do not direct a hair dryer onto the treated area.
- Do not apply ice or ice water to the treated area.

- Indication: Sculptra® (injectable poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA-SCA)) is indicated for use in people with healthy immune systems for the correction of shallow to deep nasolabial fold contour deficiencies, fine lines and wrinkles in the cheek region, and other facial wrinkles.
- Sculptra should not be used by people that are allergic to any ingredient of the product or have a history of keloid formation or hypertrophic scarring. Safety has not been established in patients who are pregnant, lactating, breastfeeding, or under 18 years of age.
- Sculptra has unique injection requirements and should only be used by a trained healthcare practitioner. Contour deficiencies should not be overcorrected because they are expected to gradually improve after treatment.
- The most common side effects after initial treatment include injection site swelling, tenderness, redness, pain, bruising, bleeding, itching and lumps. Other side effects may include small lumps under the skin that are sometimes noticeable when pressing on the treated area. Larger lumps, some with delayed onset with or without inflammation or skin discoloration, have also been reported.
