FAQs

Botox specifically relaxes the masseter muscle (chewing muscle), which is overactive during teeth grinding. By reducing muscle activity, grinding, clenching and the associated complaints are significantly reduced — without impairing normal chewing function.

It is suitable for patients who suffer from nocturnal teeth grinding, jaw clenching, jaw pain, tension headaches, or worn teeth. The treatment is particularly helpful when conventional measures such as dental splints do not provide sufficient relief.

Our doctors inject a precisely calibrated amount of Botox with a very fine needle directly into the masseter muscle. The treatment takes only 5–10 minutes and is uncomplicated. You can return to your everyday activities immediately afterwards.

The injections are well tolerated. You usually only feel a brief sting. A numbing cream is generally not necessary but can be used on request.

The effect begins after about 5–7 days, with the full result usually appearing after 2 weeks. Many patients report significant relief of the jaw already during the first nights.

The effect lasts on average 3–6 months. With regular use, the jaw muscles can relax in the long term, which can also lead to a reduction in the frequency of treatments.

Possible side effects include slight swelling or small bruises at the injection sites, which disappear quickly. In rare cases there may be a temporary weakness in the treated muscle. Overall, the treatment is considered safe and well tolerated.

Yes — with more pronounced chewing muscles, Botox can slim the muscle over time. As a result, the lower face appears narrower and more harmonious. This effect is an additional aesthetic benefit, but not required for the effectiveness of the treatment.

Botox can be combined effectively with bite guards, stress management, physiotherapy, or temporomandibular joint treatments. Our doctors will recommend the optimal combination for you.

The costs depend on the extent of muscle activity and the amount required:

from approx. € 350–€ 550 per session
You will receive a detailed cost overview during the consultation.

As a rule, the costs are not covered by health insurance, since the treatment is considered an elective service. You will receive an invoice for private billing.

At JUVENIS you benefit from experienced doctors who specialize in medical Botox injections. The treatment is performed with the highest precision and individually adjusted dosing to achieve an optimal combination of efficacy, safety and natural muscle balance. Care is provided in a modern practice with high medical quality standards.
