Botox for Gummy Smile – Dermaskin Clinic – Botox Specialists and Experts

“After seriously contemplating surgery, I am so happy that there is an alternative treatment that works so well!”

Joanna W., Cardiff (May 2013)

Some people naturally have a high lip line when they smile. If this is combined with a deeper maxilla (upper jaw bone) the result can be the appearance of a gummy smile.

Often people who have this natural appearance are a little self conscious despite the fact that there is nothing wrong with their teeth and they try to limit their smile. Fortunately, Botox is a very quick and easy way to reduce the appearance of a gummy smile without any invasive surgery.

What Is a Gummy Smile?

Gummy Smile is a phenomenon that when some people smile, their upper lip elevates too far above their upper teeth, exposing gums and producing an unattractive smile. This happen due to several causes. One of the causes is hyperactive muscle which elevates the upper lip. Occasionally, the gummy smile is also aggravated by a thin upper lip that further contributes to the problem by exposing the upper gum even more.

Fortunately, gummy smile can be simply and effectively corrected by Botulinum toxin, popularly known as Botox, injection to reduce the activity of the muscle the elevate upper lip.

What is Botox?

Botox (Botulinum toxin) is a protein produced by the the bacterium Clostridium botulinum. It relaxes muscle by temporary block nerve impulses to the injected muscles. This reduce muscle activity that causes lines and wrinkles.

The cosmetic effect of Botox was first documented as early as 1989 and was approved by the FDA in 2002. It is now regular used by many, both male and female, as it is less intrusive and less artificial in appearance, than traditional form of treament such as plastic surgery.

The Procedure

Prior Treatment:

The specialist doctor will examine and make sure you are suitable for the procedure. a topical anesthetic, or plain ice will be applied to numb the area prior to injection.

Treatment:

A small amount of Botulinum toxin will be injected at both sides of the junction of nostril and nose to mouth fold to weaken the muscles.Within the next 3-4 days elevation of the upper lip will gradually less and your smile is transformed, showing less gum and giving you the confidence to smile without inhibition. The full result will be achieve 2 weeks after the treatment.

Post Treatment:

Avoid touching, rubbing, massage or apply make up on the treated area for 4 hours.The procedure takes only around 10 minutes. Specific after care instructions will be provided.
