Do you show more gum than you’d like when you smile? A gummy smile is a smile that reveals quite a lot of gum. It’s completely harmless, but some people feel it throws their smile off balance. The good news? It’s easy to address with botox. With a few tiny, precise injections, the muscle above the lip is gently relaxed, so less gum shows when you smile.
The result? A softer, more balanced smile that looks natural and suits the rest of your face. The treatment is quick, virtually painless and often shows a visible difference within a few days.
Benieuwd wat we kunnen betekenen?
how does a gummy smile treatment work?
During a gummy smile treatment, small amounts of botulinum toxin are injected into the muscles that lift the upper lip. This relaxes those muscles, so the lip lifts less and less of your gum shows.
what can you expect after the treatment?
You can get on with your day straight after your treatment. Results usually show after 3 to 5 days, with the final result after 10 to 14 days. Your upper lip lifts less when you smile, so less gum is visible.
how long does a gummy smile treatment last?
The effect of botox for a gummy smile usually lasts around 3 to 6 months. Over time, the botox gradually wears off and you can choose a follow-up treatment to maintain your result. Some people find that with regular treatments, the muscles gradually become less active, so the effects last longer.
