What Is Gummy Smile Treatment?
Gummy Smile Treatment is a non-surgical treatment which uses botulinum toxin to relax the upper-lip muscles that lift the lip excessively when smiling. By gently reducing muscle activity, the treatment lowers the upper lip to a natural position, resulting in less visible gum tissue.
The treatment functions by temporarily blocking nerve signals that trigger muscle contraction. This leads to reduced upward lip movement, creating a more harmonious smile. Benefits include a more balanced lip-to-gum ratio, quick treatment time, minimal discomfort, and a natural-looking result that appears gradually within 1 to 2 weeks.
How It Works
Gummy Smile Treatment is performed by administering controlled units of botulinum toxin (Botox) into the specific muscles that elevate the upper lip. The process begins with cleansing the treatment area, followed by marking the precise injection points based on muscle movement. A fine, medical-grade micro-needle is used to deliver small amounts of botulinum toxin directly into specific muscles.
The injection technique involves shallow, targeted placements to ensure accurate delivery without affecting surrounding areas. No sedation or special equipment is required other than sterilized needles, syringes, alcohol swabs, and antiseptic materials. The treatment typically takes only a few minutes, with minimal discomfort.
