What Is Gummy Smile Botox?
Gummy Smile Botox is a non-invasive treatment that involves injecting Botulinum Toxin into the muscles responsible for excessive gum exposure. This treatment works by:
- Relaxing the Muscles: Reducing the activity of the upper lip muscles that lift the lip too high when smiling.
- Enhancing Your Smile: Balancing your smile so that it appears natural and symmetrical.
- Improving Confidence: Providing subtle yet impactful results that allow you to smile freely without worry.
What to Expect During Your Gummy Smile Botox Treatment
- Consultation: A thorough discussion to assess your concerns and evaluate your smile dynamics.
- Procedure: A few tiny injections are administered to specific areas of the upper lip. The process is quick and virtually painless, lasting around 15-20 minutes.
- Post-Treatment: You can return to normal activities immediately, with no downtime.
FAQs
What causes a gummy smile?
A gummy smile is often caused by overactive upper lip muscles, a short upper lip, or excessive gum tissue. Botox targets the overactive muscles to reduce excessive gum exposure.
When will I see results from Gummy Smile Botox?
Results typically become visible within 1-2 weeks, with full effects noticeable around 14 days post-treatment.
Is the treatment painful?
The procedure is virtually painless, as fine needles are used, and the injections are quick. Most patients report only a mild pinching sensation.
Will the treatment affect my ability to smile?
No, Gummy Smile Botox is carefully administered to target specific muscles. Your smile will remain natural, but with less gum exposure.
Side Effects of Gummy Smile Botox
Gummy Smile Botox is a safe and effective treatment with minimal risks. Temporary side effects may include:
- Mild Redness or Swelling: Around the injection sites, which subsides within hours.
- Slight Discomfort: Minimal and resolves quickly.
- Temporary Weakness: Rarely, mild difficulty in lip movement, which fades within a few days.
At Monika Advanced Aesthetics, I ensure every procedure is performed with the highest standards of care to minimize any risks.
