BOTOX FOR GUMMY SMILE CORRECTION

why USE BOTOX FOR  treating gummy smile

And why does a tiny protein have such a big impact on your appearance?

Botox is a FDA-approved treatment for gummy smile because it reduces excessive upper-gum exposure when smiling. In many patients, this appearance results from hyperactivity of the muscles that elevate the upper lip. By relaxing these muscles, the smile becomes more balanced while preserving natural expression.

Safety and Side Effects

Common temporary effects include mild swelling, pinpoint redness, or slight tenderness. Less common effects, such as eyebrow asymmetry, can occur if muscles respond unevenly, which is why injector experience is crucial. Neuromodulators like Botox have a well-established safety profile supported by decades of clinical use.

Benefits of gummy smile Botox

More Balanced Smile Aesthetics

With decreased lift of the upper lip, gum visibility is reduced, and the smile line aligns more harmoniously with the teeth.

Natural Expression Preservation

The goal is not to “freeze” the smile but to refine excessive elevation. When applied precisely, movement remains expressive and spontaneous.

Improved Facial Proportion

A more controlled upper-lip excursion enhances balance between the lips, teeth, and midface, creating a softer and more proportionate smile.

Predictable, Subtle Results

Clinical experience in aesthetic dermatology shows that small, targeted doses allow for reliable improvement without altering lip shape or volume.

Complementary Treatments

Correcting a gummy smile is often the "missing link" for patients who feel self-conscious when they laugh. By relaxing the hyperactive muscle that pulls your lip too high, we reveal a more balanced, elegant smile.

But a beautiful smile isn't just about gum exposure; it is about the entire frame of the lower face. Here is how we perfect your look using our specific service menu:

The Power Pair

This is the most natural partner for a Gummy Smile treatment.

The Lip Flip: While the Gummy Smile injection drops the lip down to hide the gums, the Lip Flip rolls the border of the lip out. Doing both simultaneously gives you the ultimate "non-surgical lip enhancement." You get less gum, more pink lip, and a fuller shape—all without a single drop of filler.

Polishing the "Frame" (Perioral Skin)

When you fix a gummy smile, people look at your mouth more. You want the canvas to be flawless.

• Chemical Peels: Fine lines around the mouth or dull, uneven skin texture can detract from your new smile. A series of Chemical Peels resurfaces this high-movement area, smoothing out the "frame" so your smile pops against fresh, glowing skin.
• HydraFacial: Dehydration makes lips look thin and the skin around them look tired. A HydraFacial saturates the lower face with antioxidants and hydration, giving the skin a plump, dewy finish that highlights your results.

Clearing Distractions

• Laser Hair Removal: A shadow on the upper lip is one of the biggest complaints we hear from patients seeking smile correction. Laser Hair Removal eliminates this concern permanently. It ensures that your upper lip looks clean and bright, reflecting light beautifully now that it sits in the correct position.
• Spider Vein Removal: It is common to have tiny red veins around the nose and nostrils (the exact area where we inject for gummy smiles). Laser treatment clears these vessels instantly, reducing redness and giving the center of your face a porcelain-like quality.

Inner Radiance



Glutathione Injections: A confident smile should be bright. Glutathione is a powerhouse antioxidant that brightens the skin systemically. It helps even out skin tone and creates a "lit from within" glow that matches the energy of your new, uninhibited laugh.
