Micro Botox uses highly diluted micro-droplets placed superficially in the skin to improve texture, reduce pore size, decrease oil production, and soften fine lines without affecting facial movement.

How is Micro Botox different from regular Botox?

Regular Botox targets deeper muscles to reduce expression lines, while Micro Botox is placed just under the skin to refine texture, tighten pores, and create a smooth, airbrushed appearance.

What areas can Micro Botox treat?

Micro Botox is ideal for the face, jawline, neck, and areas with enlarged pores or excess oil. It is also used for skin tightening and overall complexion improvement.

How long does Micro Botox last?

Results typically last 2 to 3 months, with cumulative improvement when performed regularly.

😬 Signs of Bruxism & Jaw Clenching

Bruxism is the medical term for repetitive teeth grinding or jaw clenching, often occurring unconsciously during sleep or while awake.

Common symptoms include:

🦷 Teeth Grinding — Nighttime grinding, worn teeth, or jaw soreness upon waking.
😣 Jaw Pain & Tightness — Tired, tender, or overworked chewing muscles.
🤕 Tension Headaches — Headaches associated with jaw muscle tension.
🔊 TMJ Symptoms — Jaw discomfort, stiffness, or clicking, which may have several different causes.
💪 Enlarged Masseters — Prominent chewing muscles that give the lower face a wider or more square appearance.

💉 How Does Masseter Botox Work?

Botox temporarily reduces nerve signaling to targeted muscles, decreasing their contraction strength.

When carefully injected into the masseter muscles, Botox may:

✅ Reduce excessive jaw-clenching force.
✅ Relieve muscle-related jaw tension in selected patients.
✅ Reduce discomfort associated with overworked chewing muscles.
✅ Gradually soften an enlarged or square jawline.

Botox does not cure the underlying causes of bruxism or all TMJ disorders. It is generally considered an additional option when conservative treatments have not provided adequate relief.

✨ Masseter Slimming — A More Refined Jawline

One treatment area, two potential benefits.

Strong or enlarged masseter muscles can make the lower face appear unusually wide or square.

By reducing excessive masseter activity, Botox may gradually decrease muscle bulk, creating a slimmer, softer, more oval-shaped lower face without surgery.

💎 Cosmetic Benefits

Softer, more tapered jawline.
Less bulky chewing muscles.
Improved lower-face proportions in appropriately selected patients.
Natural-looking changes that develop gradually.

Masseter slimming works best when jaw width comes primarily from enlarged muscles rather than underlying bone structure.

Botox Before and After Care

Yelp! Review 3/4/2021 ✭✭✭✭✭

It was my first time seeing Dr. Schafer for Botox but before writing a Yelp review, I wanted to wait after 10 days for my Botox to fully kick in to see the results. Well the results are in. Dr. Schafer did an excellent job! I am 100% satisfied. It's because she listened me about where I needed Botox and right there she was drew the Botox from the bottle in front of me (most places are shady and already have the syringe ready. Not knowing what product they're using). She takes her time to mark the area she's injecting and talks you through what she's doing. She really has great bed side manners and is really polite. I've decided that this is the place that I'll go to for my Botox treatment because she truly is one of the best injectors on the island. Coming from Beverly Hills, she's equivalent to the doctors there but with much reasonable price per unit. A very happy patient!

Yelp! Review 5/15/2020 ✭✭✭✭✭

I have been getting botox for 12 years now and been to many plastic surgeons etcetera for it and I must say Dr. Schaefer was REALLY REALLY good at! Perfect injection placement, and zero pro longed bee sting looking injections from over dilution like many plastic surgeons do while charging the same for less effective and shorter lasting treatments. You can tell the difference if you been getting it a while or if the doctor wasn't over diluting the botox then they start plus it has higher likely hood of spreading into unwanted areas causing droopy eyelids etc. I think Dr Schaefer could charge more per unit based on that alone but I am glad she is priced as she is dont get me wrong! I would go to her for botox, fillers or whatever in a Heartbeat no problem!
