The Musculus Masseter Treatment - Hyaluron vs. Botulinum Toxin

Defining the chin line: How to achieve clear facial contours

We are all unique - not least when it comes to our bodies. This often leads to different wishes and desires. That's why some patients, thanks to a Filler treatment with hyaluron to define the chin linewhich gives the face a clear line, a Jawlineand beautifully framed. Because our face is our "calling card" and some patients are unhappy with how soft and narrow their jaw looks.

In some people, on the other hand, the jawline is already very pronounced and angular - in some even too pronounced. Here a Botulinum toxin treatment of the masticatory muscles help. In this article we explain in which case which treatment is worthwhile and what they look like. If you are still unsure, you will find here the Differences between botulinum toxin and hyaluronic acid.

Softer and narrower appearance instead of angular jaws

With a Treatment of the masticatory muscles is not about defining the chin line into a striking jawline - quite the opposite: the face should appear narrower and softer. With this Chin correction is applied to the large masseter muscle. In relation to its size, the masseter muscle is one of the strongest muscles in our body and therefore plays a major role in shaping the shape of the face when viewed from the front. An oversized masseter muscle, also known as "Masseter hypertrophy"The face appears coarse and angular and the proportions appear out of balance. There can be many reasons for this:

  • Excessive activity: Frequent chewing of gum or "one-sided eating" can put a lot of strain on the muscle.
  • Bruxism (teeth grinding): Involuntary tensing of the muscle due to teeth grinding.
  • Genetic predisposition: Some people naturally have a larger chewing muscle.

When the Masticatory muscle too dominant and makes the face look coarse and angular, a low-risk treatment with botulinum toxin can help. Botulinum toxin, with its muscle activity dampening effect, is injected at the appropriate site. This ensures that the receptor responsible for the transmission of stimuli between the nerve and the muscle is blocked. As a result of the fact that the nerve stimulus cannot be transmitted to the muscle, muscle activity is generally reduced and the muscle gradually becomes smaller. In contrast to the treatment to define the chin line, the Softer contour of the facethinner and more pleasant. If the treatment results are convincing, the effect can be refreshed after approx. 6 months with a further treatment. 

Treatment with botulinum toxin has a number of advantages:

  • Optimal aftercare: Careful aftercare reduces the side effects to a minimum.
  • Short treatment duration: The minimally invasive procedure takes less than 30 minutes.
  • Minor side effects: Possible reactions such as redness, bruising or swelling are rare and subside quickly.
  • High compatibility: The body generally tolerates botulinum toxin very well.

Botulinum toxin for teeth grinding - one remedy, three effects

Go to Prevention of teeth grinding the botulinum toxin is injected into the large chewing muscle. There it has a blocking effect on the receptor responsible for transmitting stimuli between the nerve and muscle. This prevents teeth grinding, protects your teeth and relieves neck and headaches. At the same time, the contours of the face become softer, narrower and more comfortable. 

Contouring the jawline thanks to filler treatment

The counterpart to botulinum toxin treatment of the masseter muscle is the Filler treatment, in which the Jawline injected will: Hyaluron enhances the contours of the chin and jawline. If the lower half of the face is unfavorably proportioned or the face generally appears too soft and narrow, the Filler treatment with Hyaluronto define the chin line and give it more shape and fullness. With the Hyaluron treatment the water-binding properties of hyaluronic acid come into play. With a more defined chin and jawline, the face ultimately radiates more expressiveness. It is therefore not without reason that it is one of the most popular Filler treatments for men. 

Filler treatment with hyaluronic acid offers several advantages for defining the chin line into a clear jawline:

  • Short treatment duration: The minimally invasive procedure is completed in less than 30 minutes.
  • Minimal side effects: The maximum side effects to be expected are minor, but normally none.
  • Good compatibility: The body generally absorbs hyaluron very well.
  • Quick recovery: Minor reactions cannot be ruled out, but in the vast majority of cases these subside after a short time.

Yes, you can continue to chew normally after Botox treatment of the jaw. The treatment aims to reduce the excessive tension of the chewing muscle, not to paralyze it completely. The dose is chosen so that the chewing function is maintained while the muscle is relaxed. There may initially be a slight feeling of weakness when chewing, but this quickly normalizes. The remaining chewing muscles remain untreated, so that chewing during eating remains unaffected.
