Botulinum Toxin Type A, also known as “BTX” or “neurotoxin”, is a purified protein that works by temporarily relaxing targeted muscles.
Jaw BTX is a minimally invasive solution targeted at reducing the size of the masseter/jaw muscles to achieve a slimmer jawline.

The main jaw muscle we have is known as the masseter muscle, and this is located at the back of our jawline.
This muscle plays a big part in chewing, but sometimes they can be overly large (hypertrophy) due to teeth grinding or genetics.
Jaw BTX involves the injection of ‘botulinum toxin type A’, which blocks the signal from nerves to the masseter muscles, causing them to relax and shrink in size.
Avoids the risks and downtime of surgery.
The process is quick with minimal discomfort.
Jaw BTX can be customized to suit each individual, especially if the masseters are asymmetrical.
Can alleviate TMJ pain and headaches related to jaw muscle tension.
Not all square/wide-shaped faces are due to masseter hypertrophy! It can also be due to other factors like the jaw bone structure or facial fat.
Here at Astria, a detailed consultation with a MOH-licensed doctor is provided to ensure that the correct treatment is being performed.
There is minimal downtime with this procedure. You may experience slight redness or bruising at the injection sites, which typically resolves within 1-2 days. Most individuals do not have any visible downtime.
The effects of Dysport typically last for 4 to 6 months depending on your chewing or grinding habits. Those who have teeth grinding issues tend to wear out the neurotoxin faster, and treatment intervals tend to be shorter.
After this period, you can choose to have repeat maintenance injections to maintain the desired results.
Results typically last between 4 to 6 months, depending on individual muscle response and activity level. However, with regular touch-ups and proper aftercare, you can maintain the results for longer periods of time.
Jaw BTX is purely a slimming treatment and targets the masseter muscle, which is not a muscle of expression. Therefore, you don’t have to worry about looking ‘frozen’ and ‘stiff’ after Jaw BTX.
Most patients experience only slight discomfort during the procedure, commonly described as a gentle pinch. To minimize any potential discomfort, a topical numbing cream can be applied beforehand.
