This one is for the girls with #anxiety who clench their jaw at night! I’ve been taking Lexapro ever since the pandemic and one of the side effects is jaw clenching. Sometimes I was waking up with headaches and a sore jaw!!
My dentist, psychiatrist, facialist and
@drmichellehenry all recommended masseter Botox to help. My jaw muscles were very overdeveloped due to all the #jawclenching and nuerotoxin helps freeze them. I got 16 units of Xeomin in each side and then 8 units in each temple (because clenching happens up there, too).
Already I’m not waking up with a sore jaw. I also feel like my face is looking more heart-shaped. When those jaw muscles grow from a nightly clenching workout, it can make your face look square and a bit more masculine. It’s called masseter hypertrophy. One note of caution: be careful of jowls because losing total masseter muscle support can cause the lower face to droop.
