Botox for the Temporal Muscles
Temporal Botox
Temporal muscle Botox is a procedure in which botulinum toxin is injected into the temporal muscles—which cause the temples to bulge— to reduce the size of these overdeveloped muscles. If the muscles are the cause of a wide upper face, you can expect to see a change in your profile without surgery.
The temporalis muscle, along with the masseter muscle, is one of the masticatory muscles used for chewing food, and it becomes overly developed if you have habits such as grinding or clenching your teeth. When the toxin blocks nerve signals, the muscle volume gradually decreases, resulting in a smooth, defined contour along the side of the face, starting from the temples.
The procedure takes less than 10 minutes and requires almost no recovery time, so you can comfortably have it done as part of your daily routine. Repeating the procedure at regular intervalsslows down muscle regrowth, allowing you to maintain a sculpted silhouette for longer.
Why Temporal Botox
If the upper part of your face looks wide,
it may be due to your muscles rather than your bones.
Prominent temples are caused by overdeveloped temporal muscles.
Temporal muscle Botox works precisely on the temporal muscles to refine the side profile without surgery.
Point 01
Reduces muscle size without surgery,
The temporalis muscle is a masticatory muscle that extends in a fan-shaped pattern from the temples to the sides of the head. If it becomes overly developed due to habits such as teeth grinding or clenching, the temples become prominent and the upper part of the face appears wider. Botox injections into the temporalis muscle relax its movement, reducing its activity and gradually decreasing the muscle’s volume.
- Improve your facial contours with injections alone—no incisions or surgery required
- Reduce the volume of the temporalis muscle caused by teeth grinding and clenching
- Repeated treatments slow muscle regrowth, improving results
Point 02
Where and how deep.
The injection site determines the outcome.
The temporal muscle region contains the superficial temporal artery and sensory nerves. To minimize bruising and pain, the injection must be administered away from these blood vessels, and given the fan-shaped nature of the muscle, the filler must be injected at multiple points— rather than just one—to ensure an even and natural-looking result.
-
Injection depth — the muscle layer beneath the fascia
Injected into the muscle layer beneath the temporal fascia rather than the skin, it acts specifically on the muscles
-
Injection Site — Diffuse Injection Avoiding Blood Vessels
Confirm the course of the superficial maxillary artery, and distribute the injection across multiple points centered on the area that becomes most prominent when biting down on the molars.
-
Volume Adjustment — Units Tailored to the Thickness of the Temporal Muscle
Excessive volume can lead to sunken temples, so adjust the volume by dividing it according to the thickness and left-right asymmetry confirmed through palpation.
How It Works
How Botox Works on the Temporal Muscle
Precise injection of toxin into the temporalis muscle (
), which bulges when you clench your molars
Nerve signals transmitted to the muscles are reduced, leading to a decrease in overuse of the temporalis muscle
As muscle volume gradually decreases,
the temples become smoothly defined.

The Episode Difference
Why It's Different
Every process has its own unique reason.
01
You need to understand this thoroughly so that you can perform the procedure more effectively:
.
Through a pre-procedure physical examination and consultation, we assess the thickness of the temporalis muscle, any asymmetry between the left and right sides, and chewing habits, and after determining whether muscle development is indeed the cause, we decide on the injection volume and site.
ANALYSIS02
Check the exact product and quantity right before your eyes at
.
We review the Botox product to be used with you before the procedure and prepare the medication, and we transparently disclose the dosage (units) to be injected.
RELIABILITY03
, change becomes clearer when it is documented.
With online reports detailing treatment history, remaining treatment sessions, and skin changes, you can systematically manage this information and more objectively track changes before and after treatment.
