How Often Should You Get Masseter Botox? (And How Many Units Do You Really Need?)

Masseter Botox is quickly becoming one of the most popular treatments at Hi Beautiful Aesthetics—and for good reason. It not only helps with uncomfortable jaw tension, teeth grinding, and clenching, but it also creates a subtle slimming effect in the lower face. If you're thinking about trying it or are already loving your results, you might be wondering:

👉 How often should I get Masseter Botox?

👉 How many units will I need for the best results?

Let’s break it down.

How Often Should You Maintain Masseter Botox?

On average, Masseter Botox lasts between 3 to 6 months. However, this can vary depending on a few factors:

• Your metabolism (faster metabolisms may break down Botox more quickly)

• The strength of your masseter muscles

• How frequently you clench or grind your teeth

• Your overall treatment goals (pain relief vs. facial slimming)

Most clients start with treatments every 4 to 5 months, and some may find that, with consistent upkeep, they can stretch appointments further apart over time as the muscles begin to relax and shrink.

At Hi Beautiful Aesthetics, we recommend starting with a personalized consultation. This helps us create a treatment plan that fits your unique needs and lifestyle—whether you're seeking long-term relief from bruxism or want to maintain a more sculpted jawline.

How Many Units of Botox Are Typically Used?

The number of units needed for masseter treatment depends on:

• The size and strength of your masseter muscles

• Whether you're treating one side or both

• Your desired outcome (functional vs. cosmetic)

💉 On average, most clients receive between 20–30 units per side—so around 40–60 units total.

For someone with stronger, more active masseters (common in those with chronic teeth grinding), the dosage may be higher. But don't worry—this will all be tailored to you. Our experienced injectors take a conservative approach that balances effective results with natural-looking outcomes.

Ready to Keep That Jaw Relaxed?

Masseter Botox is one of those treatments where both form and function meet. You get relief from painful clenching and grinding—and a softer, more contoured look as a bonus.
