Gummy Smile (Smile Botox)

Gummy Smile (Smile Botox)

Excess gum visibility during a smile can be aesthetically bothersome. In some individuals, this condition is associated with a muscle movement that causes the gums to appear more prominently than usual. Gummy Smile Botox targets this by temporarily reducing the activity of these muscles, aiming to balance the gum appearance.

Botulinum toxin injection affects the muscles above the lips, helping to reduce gum visibility when smiling. It relaxes these muscles, preventing the lips from lifting too high and achieving a more balanced smile.

This procedure is typically performed by a dermatologist or a medical aesthetic doctor. Botulinum toxin is injected into specific points using a fine needle. The procedure is quick and generally painless.

Results are usually noticeable within a few days to a week, and the effects typically last from 3 to 6 months. Periodic re-treatment may be necessary to maintain the results.
