How it works
Botox works by relaxing the muscles in targeted areas. When injected, it temporarily reduces muscle activity, which helps smooth lines or adjust specific facial features. In Gummy Smile Botox, small amounts of Botox are injected into the muscles that control the upper lip. This relaxes the muscles, causing the upper lip to lower slightly when you smile, which reduces the amount of gum that shows. It’s a simple and effective way to create a more balanced, natural-looking smile.
-
The Consultation
We’ll discuss your goals and assess your smile to create a personalized treatment plan for reducing the appearance of gums and achieving a balanced, confident look.
-
Mapping Out the Area
Precise markings are made to target the muscles around the upper lip that are responsible for exposing the gums when you smile.
-
Cleaning and Numbing the Skin
If needed, a thin layer of numbing cream is applied and left for 10 minutes. The area is then cleansed with a gentle alcohol solution to ensure a clean and safe treatment.
-
Injecting the Botox
Tiny, quick injections are placed into the mapped-out muscles to gently relax the upper lip, allowing it to sit lower and cover more of the gums when you smile.
-
Waiting for the Results
You’ll start to notice a more balanced smile within 3-5 days, with full results becoming visible after about two weeks.
-
Follow-up Appointment
A follow-up visit is scheduled 10-14 days after your treatment to evaluate the results and make any necessary adjustments for the best outcome.
-
Final Result
Enjoy a beautifully balanced, natural smile with reduced gum visibility, giving you the confidence to smile freely!

Botox (Botulinium Toxin) is a treatment that relaxes muscles to reduce wrinkles and fine lines.
What is Botox made of?

Botox blocks nerve signals to muscles, making them relax and soften wrinkles.
Which areas can you treat with Botox?
Common areas include the forehead, around the eyes (crow's feet), and frown lines, but you can also treat the Master muscle to reduce teeth grinding and slim down the lower face. It can also be used in the underarm area to reduce excessive sweating.

You will start to notice subtle results a few days after your appointment, but the full results take up to 14 days to show.
How long does the effect of Botox last?
The effects usually last between 3-4 months.
How often should I repeat Botox?
It’s recommended to get Botox every 3 to 4 months to maintain the results.

It’s rare, but some people can develop resistance over time.
What are the side effects of Botox?
Side effects may include mild bruising, swelling, or temporary muscle weakness.

How to prepare for your Botox Appointment
To prepare for your Botox appointment and ensure the best results, follow these key steps: Avoid alcohol and blood-thinning medications (like ibuprofen) for at least 24 hours to reduce the risk of bruising. Inform us if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, have an autoimmune condition, or are taking any medications, as these may affect your suitability for treatment. Arrive with a clean, makeup-free face to maintain a sterile environment. Sharing any health concerns or medications helps us provide a safe and personalized experience tailored to your needs.
What to do after your Botox appointment
After your Botox treatment, mild redness, swelling, or tenderness at the injection sites may occur but usually fades within a few hours. To ensure the best results, avoid touching the treated areas, lying down, or engaging in activities that cause sweating—such as exercise or sauna use—for at least 24 hours, as these can interfere with Botox settling. Refrain from alcohol, blood thinners, and direct heat exposure during this time to minimize bruising and enhance results. Improvements will start to appear within a few days, with full effects visible in 3-7 days and lasting approximately 3-4 months. Following these aftercare steps will help you achieve optimal, long-lasting results.
