Description
A gummy smile is a condition where a person shows an excessive amount of gum tissue when smiling, often making the upper gums more visible than desired. It can be caused by factors like overactive upper lip muscles, excessive gum tissue, or a short upper lip. Treatments like Botox can help reduce the appearance of a gummy smile.
What is Botox?
Botox is a treatment that uses botulinum toxin to temporarily relax muscles. It is most commonly used in cosmetic procedures to reduce wrinkles and fine lines, especially on the face. Botox can also be used to treat conditions like excessive sweating.
How can Botox help?
For a Gummy Smile, Botox works by targeting the Levator Labii Superioris, allowing the upper lip to relax and cover more of the gums when smiling. Botox is a treatment designed to temporarily relax the muscles that contribute to certain facial movements. Administered through injections, it offers a non-surgical option for improving the appearance of a smile. During your consultation, our experienced clinicians will discuss your concerns and determine if Botox is the right choice to help you achieve a refreshed and more confident appearance.
Timeline and Expected results
Botox can last for 4-6 months but effectiveness starts to decrease from 2-3 months, with noticeable improvements visible within 3 to 14 days after treatment, making it a popular choice for those looking to smooth and refresh the area.
