What is a gummy smile?
A gummy smile is a term used to describe a smile where too much gum is visible when laughing. It's not just your teeth that become visible, but the gum line steals the show. Overactive muscles in the upper lip are often the culprit, as they pull the lip too far upwards. This is often genetically determined, but the size and shape of the teeth can make the gummy smile more pronounced. Want to get rid of it? Botox treatment is the solution.

During the treatment
How does a gummy smile treatment work?
Your treatment starts with a brief consultation where you share your wishes with your practitioner. They will then choose the appropriate treatment technique. Next, the upper lip is cleaned and possibly marked with a pencil. Your practitioner will inject a half zone of botox here with several small injections. We only use the brand Bocouture. This substance will temporarily relax the overactive muscles in the upper lip. It will lift less when you smile, reducing the visibility of your gums. The treatment takes a total of 15 minutes, and the result lasts for three months.

After the treatment
Aftercare gummy smile treatment
After your gummy smile treatment with botox, it's important to follow some simple aftercare measures. You may experience mild sensitivity after the treatment, but this usually fades quickly. To prevent swelling and bruising, we advise avoiding intense physical activity for the first 24 hours and staying away from direct sunlight and heat. Also, try not to lie down for a few hours after the treatment to prevent the botox from spreading. Once the injection sites have closed, you can wear makeup again. If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to contact us for advice.
