Why Skin Science Clinic
Why choose Skin Science Clinic for masseter Botox?
Dr Sarwar examines your jaw muscles, discusses your symptoms and explains how treatment would be planned. Previous Botox treatment, relevant dental advice and your expectations are considered before proceeding.
For patients concerned about clenching, the assessment focuses on the symptoms and the muscles involved. For patients considering facial slimming, it also considers whether enlarged masseters are contributing to lower-face width.
Your appointment allows time for questions, preparation and treatment, with a follow-up review to assess your response.
The Treatment
What is masseter Botox?
The masseter muscles sit towards the back of the jaw and help you chew. When these muscles are prominent, they can also contribute to a wider or more square lower-face shape.
Botox temporarily reduces activity in the injected muscles. For suitable patients, this may reduce the force of clenching and help with associated muscular discomfort. It does not necessarily stop teeth-grinding episodes or address their underlying causes.
Where enlarged masseters contribute to facial width, treatment may also produce a gradual slimming effect. Your assessment establishes whether this would be appropriate for your anatomy and goals.
Tailored Treatment
The muscles are examined and the treatment area carefully marked. Dose and injection placement are selected according to your assessment, previous treatment and goals.
Performed by Dr Sarwar
Every masseter Botox treatment is personally performed by Dr Adil Sarwar, founder and medical director of Skin Science Clinic.
Four-Week Review
A clinical review is included at approximately four weeks. Additional Botox at this appointment is included where clinically appropriate, following assessment of your response.

What our clients say
The Assessment
Examining your masseter muscles
Dr Sarwar asks you to clench and relax your jaw so he can examine the masseter muscles on each side. He assesses their prominence and position, looking for any differences between the two sides.
The examination is considered alongside your symptoms, previous treatment and facial proportions. This helps establish whether Botox is appropriate and how treatment should be planned.
Where symptoms suggest a dental or joint problem, further assessment may be needed before proceeding.

The Planning
Careful mapping before treatment begins
Before the injections, Dr Sarwar identifies the muscle boundaries and marks the proposed treatment area.
He checks the muscles again while you clench, using the examination to guide the placement of the injection points. Any difference between the two sides is considered when planning the treatment.
The proposed approach, expected benefits and possible side effects are discussed before you decide to proceed.

The Procedure
Precise injections, with attention to comfort
The skin is cleansed before Botox is administered into the planned areas using fine needles. Topical anaesthetic is available beforehand, with time allowed for it to take effect.
Dr Sarwar explains each stage and checks how you are feeling throughout. The injections are a short part of the appointment, with time also allowed for assessment, preparation and aftercare.
Before leaving, you will receive advice about what to expect and how to contact the clinic with any concerns.
