Skip to content We all experience high levels of stress from time to time, which can sometimes lead to unconscious teeth grinding and jaw clenching, a condition known as bruxism. This not only causes discomfort but can also result in TMJ (temporomandibular joint disorder), tension headaches, and jaw pain. One effective treatment for these issues is masseter Botox®, which has gained popularity for its ability to relieve jaw tension while enhancing facial aesthetics.
At Viva Medspa & Wellness, conveniently located near Garden City Center in Cranston, Rhode Island, we offer masseter Botox® as a safe and non-surgical solution to help you achieve functional relief and cosmetic enhancement.

The masseter muscle is one of the primary muscles used for chewing. It connects the cheekbones to the lower jaw and contributes to the shape and size of the jawline. The face may appear broader or square-shaped in people with an overdeveloped masseter muscle.
The best candidates for masseter Botox® include individuals who:
If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or have known allergies to Botox® injections, this treatment may not be recommended for you. Individuals with certain medical conditions should consult a healthcare provider to determine eligibility.
While Semaglutide and Tirzepatide are generally well-tolerated, some individuals may experience side effects, including:
Nausea and Vomiting: Common during the initial stages of treatment as the body adjusts.
Diarrhea or Constipation: Gastrointestinal issues may occur but often subside over time.
Low Blood Sugar: Rare but possible, especially when combined with other diabetes medications.

WHILE TAKING SEMAGLUTIDE AND TIRZEPATIDE
While Semaglutide is effective for weight loss, there is a potential risk of muscle loss if proper precautions are not taken. At Viva we have the solution for you!
Evolve X contouring is a non-invasive procedure that uses electrical muscle stimulation to strengthen, tone and sculpt the body. It targets specific muscle groups, mimicking the effects of a workout by inducing muscle contractions. One 30 minute treatment is equivalent to hours in the gym!
To maintain muscle mass and enhance your results, it is recommended to include EvolveX along with consistent strength training for the entirety of the time you are taking weight loss injections.
When combined with Semaglutide or Tirzepatide for weight loss, EvolveX can transform your body!
WHILE TAKING SEMAGLUTIDE AND TIRZEPATIDE
When losing weight we run the risk of losing skin laxity and having loose sagging skin. For all of our weight loss clients we recommend starting Morpheus 8 Radiofrequency Microneedling as soon as you start the weight loss process. Morpheous 8 RF microneedling stimulates collagen production and tightens the skin. When paired with Semaglutide treatments, Morpheous 8 RF Microneedling can help address skin laxity that might arise as a result of weight loss and fat reduction. This combination ensures that patients not only achieve their desired body shape but also enjoy smoother, firmer skin.
Book a consultation to determine if Morpheus 8 RF Microneedling is the skin tightening solution for you.

T-Shape 2 is a non-invasive body contouring and skin tightening device that uses a combination of technologies to reduce cellulite and improve skin appearance:
T-Shape 2 can be used on a variety of body parts, including the abdomen, thighs, buttocks, arms, waist, back, face, neck, and submental.
Here are some benefits of T-Shape 2:
For optimal results, a course of 6–10 sessions is usually recommended
Many patients report improved jaw tension and facial pain within the first few weeks, with visible facial slimming within 6-8 weeks. Continued Botox® use can lead to prolonged muscle relaxation, which may reduce the need for frequent touch-ups over time.
Both Semaglutide and Tirzepatide work by regulating hormones that control appetite and food intake. They help you feel fuller for longer periods, leading to reduced calorie intake and, over time, effective weight loss.
The procedure is painless, as the needles used are very fine. However, some patients may experience mild discomfort, a slight pinching sensation, or temporary tenderness at the injection site, which usually resolves within a few hours.
No, the treatment only slightly relaxes the masseter muscle, reducing excessive clenching and tension while preserving normal chewing function, allowing you to eat and speak comfortably.
Most patients notice an improvement in jaw tension and reduced clenching within 2-4 weeks, while the slimming and contouring effects on the lower face become more noticeable around 6-8 weeks after the treatment, with full results appearing gradually.
Yes, Botox® is FDA-approved and has been extensively used for medical and cosmetic treatments for many years. When administered by a qualified professional, it is a safe and effective solution for reducing jaw tension, improving facial contour, and relieving symptoms of bruxism.
