Gummy Smile
What Does the Treatment Consist Of?
Gummy smile correction is an advanced aesthetic procedure designed to address excessive gum display by selectively targeting the hyperactive upper lip elevator muscles. Using botulinum toxin, a highly refined neuromodulator, we temporarily relax these muscles to achieve a balanced and harmonious smile. The procedure is carried out by our highly trained specialists, ensuring both safety and precision in every treatment.
What Is the Treatment Like?
The treatment is minimally invasive, typically lasting between 15 and 30 minutes. During the procedure, a small dose of botulinum toxin is injected into the targeted areas to reduce the activity of specific facial muscles responsible for excessive gum exposure. Our expert medical team ensures precise application for natural-looking results, preserving the function and aesthetics of your smile.
