Botox in Charlotte
Voci MedSpa is your destination for Botox in Charlotte, NC, offering advanced injectable treatments designed to smooth wrinkles, relax facial tension, and create natural-looking results. Facial lines and wrinkles are often caused by repeated muscle movement over time. When a small amount of purified Botulinum Toxin is injected into targeted muscles, it temporarily relaxes muscle activity to soften frown lines, forehead lines, crow’s feet, and even areas affected by jaw tension such as the masseter muscles.
In addition to cosmetic wrinkle reduction, masseter Botox has become a popular treatment for clients experiencing jaw clenching, teeth grinding, facial slimming concerns, or tension in the jaw area. By administering masseter muscle Botox, the enlarged jaw muscles gradually relax, helping create a softer facial contour while also relieving discomfort caused by overactive jaw muscles. Botox on masseter muscles may also help improve symptoms associated with TMJ tension and chronic jaw tightness.
Botox affects the component of facial lines that is caused by muscle action. The clinical effect usually first appears within 2-7 days after treatment and generally lasts 2 ½ to 3 months, although results may vary depending on metabolism, treatment area, and the number of units used. Larger muscle groups, including the masseter muscles, often require additional Botox units for optimal results. Repeat treatments are necessary to maintain results over time.

Before & After
Actual patients. Results may vary.
Proven to last up to 4 months
Some patients report that being injected with Botox feels like a pinch. Your provider may use ice to numb the treatment area. If you are receiving masseter Botox, the injections are typically quick and well tolerated. A topical numbing cream can also be applied prior to treatment if needed.
The treatment takes approximately 15+ minutes and requires minimal downtime or recovery. Botox is often called a “lunchtime procedure,” including treatments involving the masseter muscle.
We recommend the following:
- Stay upright/vertical position for 4-6 hours post-injection.
- Refrain from any activities that may increase circulation to the area such as exercise, excess heat from sun, jacuzzis or saunas for 24 hours.
- Over the counter medications such as aspirin, ibuprofen, Motrin, Advil, alive and some herbal medicines may increase the risk and/or worsen bruising. You may be instructed to avoid these medications unless prescribed by your physician. Discuss ALL current and new medications with your injector prior to treatment. You may be instructed to refrain from alcohol consumption for 24 hours. If bruising does occur you may use arnica montana as directed by your injectionist.
- Unless otherwise instructed, avoid touching or massaging the treated area unless instructed otherwise.
- You may be asked to avoid full body massage for 48 hours after Botox on masseter muscles or facial injections.
- Discuss all medications and supplements with your injector before treatment.
Risks & Complications
Side effects of Botox may include headache, bruising, swelling, tenderness, asymmetry, twitching, numbness, and infection at the injection site. While uncommon, Botox treatments involving the masseter muscle may temporarily affect chewing strength as the muscles adapt to treatment.
Although results are frequently dramatic, individual outcomes vary. Some patients may require additional treatments or higher dosing for larger muscle groups such as the masseter muscles.
