ANTI-WRINKLE INJECTABLES
GUMMY SMILE CORRECTION BOTOX
Achieve a truly balanced and confident smile with our Gummy Smile Reduction Botox treatment. A gummy smile, where excessive gum tissue is visibly exposed when you smile, is often caused by hyperactive muscles in the upper lip that lift it too high. Our targeted Botox injections work by gently relaxing these specific muscles, allowing the upper lip to rest in a more natural, lowered position and significantly reducing the amount of gum that shows when you smile. This is a quick, non-invasive treatment.

TREATMENT BENEFITS
BALANCED & HARMONIOUS SMILE
Our Gummy Smile Reduction Botox treatment specifically targets the muscles responsible for excessive gum display, creating a more balanced ratio between your lips, teeth, and gums. This results in a harmonious and aesthetically pleasing smile that enhances your overall facial features.
REDUCED GUM VISIBILITY
The primary benefit is a significant reduction in the amount of gum tissue visible when you smile. By allowing the upper lip to relax into a more natural position, the treatment effectively conceals the gumline, giving you a smile you'll be proud to show off.
ENHANCED LIP POSITION
Beyond reducing gum show, this treatment subtly refines the resting position of your upper lip. It ensures your lip sits more naturally, complementing the shape of your mouth and contributing to a more relaxed and confident expression.

WHAT IS GUMMY SMILE CORRECTION BOTOX?
Gummy Smile Correction Botox is an aesthetic treatment designed to reduce the visibility of excessive gum tissue when smiling. It targets hyperactive muscles in the upper lip that cause it to lift too high, using precise injections of botulinum toxin to relax them, allowing the lip to rest in a more natural position for a balanced smile.
HOW DOES GUMMY SMILE CORRECTION BOTOX WORK?
This treatment works by targeting the specific muscles (often the levator labii superioris alaeque nasi muscles) that contribute to the excessive upward movement of the upper lip when smiling. By injecting a small, controlled amount of Botox into these muscles, their activity is temporarily relaxed, allowing the upper lip to lower slightly and cover more of the gum line.
HOW LONG DO GUMMY SMILE CORRECTION BOTOX RESULTS LAST?
Clients typically begin to observe the effects of their Gummy Smile Correction Botox treatment within 3 to 5 days, with the full, optimal results becoming visible approximately 10 to 14 days post-procedure. The achieved reduction in gum visibility generally lasts for about 3 to 4 months, though individual experiences may vary based on factors like metabolism.
WILL GUMMY SMILE CORRECTION BOTOX AFFECT MY NATURAL SMILE?
No, when performed by our skilled practitioners at Look Glowing, Gummy Smile Correction Botox is precisely designed to subtly relax the targeted muscles without affecting the natural mechanics or warmth of your smile. The goal is to enhance your smile's aesthetics while preserving your authentic facial expressions.
CAN GUMMY SMILE CORRECTION BOTOX BE COMBINED WITH OTHER TREATMENTS?
Yes, Gummy Smile Correction Botox can often be safely and effectively combined with other aesthetic treatments for a more comprehensive lip and smile enhancement. It can be paired synergistically with a Lip Flip (to gently evert the lip) or Lip Filler (to add volume to the lips), creating an even more harmonious and aesthetically pleasing outcome. During your personalised consultation, we can discuss a holistic treatment plan tailored to your overall aesthetic goals.
ARE THERE ANY SIDE EFFECTS?
Any side effects associated with Gummy Smile Correction Botox are typically mild and transient. These might include slight redness, minor swelling, or minimal bruising at the injection sites, which usually resolve on their own within a few hours to a few days. Any more rare or significant side effects will be thoroughly discussed during your consultation, as our experienced practitioners prioritise your safety and comfort.
