Anti Wrinkle: Gummy Smile

Service Description

A gummy smile, known in medical terms as excessive gingival display, means too much gum tissue is displayed above the top teeth when a patient smiles. This can make the individual feel self-conscious about smiling and lead to a lack of confidence. Small amounts of Botox (botulinum toxin) administered into specific muscles in the upper lip significantly reduce the amount of gum on display when the patient smiles. This achieves a natural, appealing smile that you will feel proud of. Anti-wrinkle injections are a highly popular, minimally invasive cosmetic treatment designed to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, especially in the upper face. They provide a quick and effective way to achieve a smoother, more youthful look. Anti-wrinkle injections temporarily relax the muscles of the upper face that create wrinkles, causing them to relax and smooth out. It also works in a preventative way by preventing the long-term formation of deep static wrinkles, which are difficult to treat. Key Treatment Areas Forehead Lines: Smoothens horizontal lines caused by repetitive expressions, like raising the eyebrows. Frown Lines (Glabellar): Reduces the “11 lines” or vertical creases between the eyebrows. Crow’s Feet: Softens fine lines around the eyes that form from squinting or smiling. How It Works Active Ingredient: Anti-wrinkle injections typically use a purified neurotoxin (like botulinum toxin) to temporarily relax the underlying facial muscles responsible for wrinkles. Mechanism: By reducing muscle activity, the skin overlying these muscles becomes smoother, and dynamic wrinkles diminish. Benefits Quick Results: Visible improvement often starts within 3–5 days, with full results in about 2 weeks. Natural Appearance: When administered by an experienced professional, results look subtle and refined. Preventive Effects: Helps delay the formation of deeper lines by reducing repetitive muscle movement. Treatment Process Consultation: Discuss your concerns and desired outcomes with a professional. Procedure: Small amounts of the product are injected into specific muscles using a fine needle. Duration: Takes 10–20 minutes per session. Downtime: Minimal—mild redness or swelling at injection sites resolves quickly. Longevity of Results Results last 3–4 months, after which touch-ups can maintain the youthful effect.
