A gummy smile, characterised by excessive gum exposure when smiling, can affect confidence and self-esteem. Injectable treatments offer a minimally invasive solution to reduce gum visibility and enhance smile aesthetics, providing a more balanced and harmonious facial appearance.
Â
What is it?Â
Â
Gummy smile injectable treatment involves the precise injection of botulinum toxin into specific facial muscles responsible for elevating the upper lip excessively when smiling. By targeting these muscles, the treatment relaxes their activity, resulting in a less pronounced gum display and a more aesthetically pleasing smile.
Â
How does it work?Â
Â
Botulinum toxin works by temporarily blocking nerve signals to targeted muscles, preventing them from contracting fully. In the case of a gummy smile, the injection is strategically administered into the muscles responsible for elevating the upper lip. By reducing the activity of these muscles, the treatment limits the upward movement of the lip, thereby minimising gum exposure when smiling.
Why choose it?Â
Gummy smile injectable treatment offers several benefits, including:
Gummy smile injectable treatment is generally well-tolerated and involves minimal discomfort. A topical numbing cream may be applied to the treatment area to enhance comfort during the procedure.
The downtime associated with gummy smile injectable treatment is minimal, allowing individuals to resume their normal activities immediately after the procedure. Some minor swelling or redness at the injection sites may occur but typically resolves within a few hours to days.
Most individuals achieve optimal results with a single treatment session. However, additional sessions may be recommended based on individual response and desired outcome.
The procedure typically takes less than 30 minutes to complete, making it a convenient option for individuals with busy lifestyles.
Results from gummy smile injectable treatment become noticeable within a few days to a week after the procedure, with peak effects occurring within two weeks.Â
The effects of gummy smile injectable treatment typically last for several months, after which repeat treatments may be needed to maintain results. The frequency of treatment varies depending on individual response and preference.
