BRUXISM

BOTULINUM TOXIN IN MASSETERS
Botulinum toxin has a relaxing action on the
muscle contraction force. When the force of the masseter muscles is intense, there is usually a history of bruxism and this force creates hypertrophy (the muscle grows), making the face look wider and the features stronger. By infiltrating toxin, the muscle
it loses contraction force and therefore loses volume over time, making the face look much more contoured.
