Temple Botox places botulinum toxin into the temporalis, a chewing muscle at the side of the head, to reduce clenching tension and soften temples that bulge when you bite. At Egg Clinic in Sinsa, Gangnam, a doctor plans it alone or with masseter Botox; effects build over 1–4 weeks and typically last around 3–4 months. Hollow temples need filler rather than Botox.

What is temple Botox?
The temporalis is a fan-shaped muscle that covers the temple and helps close the jaw. In people who clench or grind, it can become tense and sore, sometimes contributing to tension-type headaches, and in some faces it is bulky enough to make the upper side of the head look wide.
Temple Botox relaxes this muscle with small injections into the temple area. It is often combined with masseter Botox, because clenching uses both muscles and treating only the masseter can leave the temporalis working harder. Botox does not add volume: if your temples look sunken or hollow, the right treatment is temple fillers, and the doctor will explain the difference at consultation.
Who is a good candidate for temple Botox?
- Clenching or grinding with tension at the temples
- Temples that visibly bulge when you bite down
- People already having masseter Botox for bruxism
- Those wanting a softer upper face width
Temple Botox is not a treatment for hollow temples or volume loss and could make hollowness look more obvious. Frequent or severe headaches should be assessed by a doctor first. It is not suitable during pregnancy or breastfeeding or with certain neuromuscular conditions.

How the treatment works
-
Consultation
The doctor feels the temporalis as you clench and checks whether your concern is muscle bulk or hollowness.
-
Preparation
The skin and hairline are cleansed and the injection points marked.
-
Injection
A few small injections are placed into the temporalis on each side.
-
Aftercare
Avoid massaging the temples, saunas and alcohol on the day; chewing may feel lighter for a few weeks.
Tips for international patients
- Ask the doctor whether combining temple and masseter Botox makes sense for your clenching.
- If you want fuller temples, ask about filler instead.
- Allow up to four weeks to judge the effect on muscle tension.
- Book via WhatsApp and mention whether you grind your teeth.
