Gummy Smile

A gummy smile occurs when excessive gum tissue is visible when smiling, which can create an unbalanced appearance. Anti-wrinkle treatments can help address this by relaxing the muscles that elevate the upper lip, resulting in a more harmonious smile. This treatment can boost confidence, allowing individuals to smile freely without self-consciousness about their gum exposure.

Frequently Asked Questions

How it Works

Botulinum toxin is injected into the muscles around the mouth, which helps to relax them and limit the upward movement of the upper lip, reducing the amount of gum visible when smiling.

Other Uses

Can also enhance lip aesthetics and improve overall facial symmetry.

Consistency

Results typically last 3-6 months, with follow-up treatments recommended for optimal results.
