Salivary gland or temporal muscle Botox is a procedure that involves injecting botulinum toxin into overdeveloped salivary glands or temporal muscles, caused by excessive chewing force or lifestyle habits, to reduce the appearance of a wide face. Overdeveloped salivary glands or temporal muscles can make the face appear broader or lead to functional issues such as teeth grinding and migraines. By selectively controlling these areas, this procedure helps achieve a smoother and more refined facial contour.

Salivary Gland / Temporalis Botox
Procedure Mechanism
Botulinum toxin works by inhibiting the secretion of acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter, to reduce excessive salivary gland secretion or relax overcontracted temporal muscles. Enlarged salivary glands decrease in size, and overdeveloped muscles reduce in usage and gradually shrink, naturally alleviating factors that make the face appear broader.

Procedure Effects
Through continuous procedures, the distorted contours caused by salivary gland enlargement or overdeveloped temporal muscles can be corrected, leading to reduced face size and the formation of a more slender face line. Additionally, salivary gland Botox can alleviate protruding salivary glands when opening the mouth, while temporal muscle Botox can help relieve muscle tension-related symptoms such as teeth grinding and migraines, achieving both functional and aesthetic benefits.
