Masetter Botox Training Ensure Safety and Efficacy
Masseter Botox is not only used to treat bruxism, it can also be very effective in slimming the jawline and chin. It does this by relaxing the overactive masseter muscle, which can cause a square face. This treatment is very quick and can be completed in 30-60 minutes. It is very popular among patients that need a slimmer face for aesthetic reasons, as well as those that suffer from the pain and discomfort of teeth grinding.
The procedure involves injecting botulinum toxin into the masseter muscles on either side of the mouth. The treatment works by blocking the nerve signals to the muscle, which causes it to relax and shrink. This will then create a smaller, more defined and contoured jawline. The effects will last for three to six months, after which the muscle will revert back to its normal size. Repeated treatments will help the masseter muscle stay smaller for longer.
When performing Masseter Botox injections it is important that the practitioner knows how to target and administer the correct amount of muscle freezing agent. If too little is injected, the client will experience an upsetting ‘reduction’ of the risorius muscle in their smile line, which may leave a gap. Too much is a risky option that could result in a loss of the chin’s natural projection, and can cause a ‘rounder’ facial appearance.
How Does Masetter Botox Training Ensure Safety and Efficacy?
In order to optimise the results of Masseter Botox it is necessary that practitioners utilise a technique that allows for direct visualisation of the masseter muscle both before and during the injection. This is the only way to ensure that a practitioner is using the optimal dosing for their patient, as well as minimising any complications that could arise. A failure to utilise these protocols would be in breach of a dentist’s duty of care and would open the practitioner up to regulatory action or even patient litigation should sub-optimal results or complications occur that could have been avoided.
