Understanding Masseter Botox Treatment

Botox injections into the masseter muscle have become increasingly popular for those seeking facial slimming without surgery. This treatment targets the large muscle responsible for chewing, located at the angle of your jaw. When Botox is strategically injected into this area, it helps reduce muscle bulk and creates a more refined facial contour.
