Gummy Smile

This treatment is ideal for individuals with a pronounced gummy smile caused by overactive upper lip elevator muscles, seeking a more balanced and confident appearance.

The procedure is quick, taking approximately 15 to 30 minutes, with no downtime required.

Botulinum toxin is a purified protein used in medical aesthetics to temporarily relax overactive muscles by blocking nerve signals. Unlike dermal fillers, which add volume, botulinum toxin reduces muscle activity to achieve subtle, natural improvements. At Santé, we exclusively use Azzalure®, a premium and highly regarded botulinum toxin known for its efficacy and safety.

The treatment involves minimal discomfort, often described as a slight pinprick at the injection site. Our specialists use fine needles and precise techniques to ensure your comfort.

Initial results become visible within 2 to 4 days, with full effects achieved within 1 to 2 weeks after treatment.

The results typically last between 3 and 6 months, depending on individual factors such as muscle activity and metabolism. Regular maintenance sessions can prolong the effects.

Most patients see significant improvements after a single session. Follow-up appointments can be scheduled for maintenance if needed.

Potential side effects are mild and may include slight redness, swelling, or bruising at the injection site, which typically resolves within a few days.
