What Is Botox for TMJ?
Botox for TMJ is a non-surgical treatment that targets overactive jaw muscles causing TMJ disorders. Injecting Botox into the masseter and sometimes temporalis muscles, relaxes the jaw, alleviating symptoms like jaw pain, teeth grinding, and headaches. This quick, minimally invasive procedure offers effective relief while also helping to contour the jawline for a slimmer appearance.
Understanding TMJ and Its Symptoms
The temporomandibular joint connects the jawbone to the skull, facilitating movements like chewing and speaking. TMJ disorders can arise from various factors, including stress, teeth grinding (bruxism), and misalignment, resulting in:
- Jaw pain or tenderness
- Difficulty chewing
- Locking of the jaw
- Headaches
- Earaches
How Botox Treats TMJ Disorders
Botox for TMJ targets the overactive masseter muscles, responsible for jaw clenching and teeth grinding. The treatment temporarily blocks nerve signals that trigger muscle contractions, allowing the muscles to relax. As a result, tension is reduced, alleviating pain and discomfort associated with TMJ. Over time, the masseter muscles also shrink, slimming the jawline and improving facial contours.
Benefits of Botox for TMJ at Skinly Aesthetics
- Non-Surgical Approach: Avoid invasive procedures with our Botox treatment.
- Quick and Convenient: Sessions typically last 10-15 minutes, with minimal downtime.
- Expert Care: Dr. Schwarzburg personally administers every treatment, providing precise and tailored solutions for optimal results.
What to Expect During the Procedure
- Consultation: Discuss your symptoms and medical history with Dr. Schwarzburg to determine if Botox is suitable for you.
- Preparation: The treatment area is cleansed, and specific injection sites are identified.
- Injection: Using an ultra-fine needle, Botox is administered into the hypertrophied masseter muscles.
- Post-Treatment: You can return to your normal activities right away, guided by comprehensive aftercare instructions.
When will I start feeling relief after TMJ Botox?
Initial results from Botox for TMJ can typically be noticed within 3 to 7 days after the treatment. Full relief from TMJ symptoms and visible jawline slimming usually become more evident within 2 to 4 weeks.
Are You a Candidate for Botox for TMJ?
If you suffer from jaw pain, teeth grinding, headaches, or jaw tension, Botox for TMJ could be a great option. It’s ideal for those seeking a non-surgical solution to relieve TMJ symptoms or slim the jawline. If traditional treatments haven’t worked and you prefer a minimally invasive approach, you are an excellent candidate.
Contraindications for Botox TMJ
Avoid Botox for TMJ if you have muscle weakness, skin infections, neuromuscular disorders, or are pregnant/breastfeeding. Consult a board-certified provider to confirm it’s safe for you.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does TMJ Botox last?
The effects of TMJ Botox typically last between 3 to 4 months. Regular follow-up treatments are recommended to maintain relief from TMJ symptoms.
Is the procedure painful?
The procedure involves minimal discomfort. Dr. Schwarzburg uses ultra-fine needles, and a numbing cream can be applied to enhance patient comfort if needed.
Are there any side effects of TMJ Botox?
Common side effects include mild swelling, redness, or bruising at the injection site. These typically resolve within a day or two. Rarely, patients may experience temporary muscle weakness or a slight change in a smile, which usually subsides on its own.
Can TMJ Botox change the shape of my face?
Yes, in addition to relieving TMJ symptoms, Botox can reduce the size of the masseter muscles, leading to a slimmer, more contoured jawline. This facial slimming effect is often a welcomed benefit for patients with enlarged masseters.
How many units of Botox are needed for TMJ treatment?
The number of units varies based on the severity of the TMJ symptoms and the size of the masseter muscles. On average, 20-50 units per side are used for effective relief.
Is there any downtime after TMJ Botox?
There is minimal to no downtime after TMJ Botox. Patients are advised to avoid strenuous exercise, facial massages, or direct pressure on the treated area for the first 24 hours.
Can I combine TMJ Botox with other treatments?
Yes, TMJ Botox can be combined with other aesthetic treatments such as dermal fillers, chin Botox, or jawline contouring for enhanced facial contouring. Dr. Schwarzburg can customize a comprehensive treatment plan tailored to your specific needs.
