COMMON QUESTIONS
Thoughtful answers to the questions we’re asked most often.
Is masseter neurotoxin cosmetic or functional?
It can be both. Masseter neurotoxin is commonly used to reduce jaw tension and clenching, while also softening the appearance of a square or boxy jawline. Treatment is always tailored to your individual anatomy and goals.
Will this change how my face looks?
Results are subtle and gradual. As the masseter muscle relaxes over time, the lower face may appear more balanced and refined.
Will I still be able to chew and speak normally?
Yes. When administered precisely and conservatively, masseter neurotoxin does not affect normal chewing or speech. Treatments are carefully dosed to maintain function while easing excess muscle activity.
Is masseter neurotoxin injection painful?
Most patients experience minimal discomfort. The injections are quick, and any sensation is brief.
How long does it take to see results?
Initial relaxation may be felt within a few days, with full results typically developing over 2–4 weeks.
How long do results last?
Results generally last 3–4 months, though duration can vary depending on muscle strength and individual response.
How safe are treatments?
All treatments at The Grove Studio are performed by certified professionals trained through the American Academy of Facial Esthetics, ensuring safety and effectiveness for every procedure.
What is the recovery time?
Recovery times vary by treatment type, but most clients experience minimal downtime, allowing for a quick return to daily activities.
Why choose a dentist for this treatment?
Dentists have advanced training in the muscles, nerves, and function of the jaw and lower face. This specialized anatomical knowledge allows for precise treatment that prioritizes both comfort and balance.
