HOO V-TOX for Masseter Hypertrophy
HOO V-TOX for masseter hypertrophy treatment involves injecting neurotoxin injection into the masseter muscles to reduce their size and activity. This procedure helps to slim and contour the jawline for a more V-shaped facial appearance, while also alleviating teeth grinding (bruxism) and TMJ disorders.

WHAT IS HOO V-TOX FOR MASSETER HYPERTROPHY?
For those who don't know, the masseter is a large muscle that we use for chewing. We usually find it here near the angle of the jaw so there are some patients who have enlarged muscles in this area the size it can depend on the race of the patient, or how strong you chew. So sometimes, this makes your face look a bit squarish so for those females who want to look more feminine, our board-certified dermatologist can inject neurotoxin injection into the masseter muscle and you expect it to shrink in around one to two months.

When you come in the first thing our board-certified dermatologist will be doing is check your masseters and assess if you're a good candidate. Next, we're going to do some markings on your face where we're gonna see how large your masseters are to see where we're going to inject. Then we're going to inject directly into the muscle.
