What is Jaw (Masseter) Botox?
Botulinum toxin injected into the masseter (jaw) muscle to slim a square jaw, plus salivary-gland and temporalis (temple) options. This is the signature Korean 'V-line' treatment.
Who is it for?
People with a wide or square lower face caused by strong chewing muscles, teeth grinders, and anyone who wants a slimmer face shape without surgery.
How does it work?
The toxin relaxes the masseter, which shrinks over 2–4 weeks as it is used less. The jawline narrows and the face looks more V-shaped; results last 4–6 months and improve with repeat treatments.
