An individual's smile is an intrinsic part of their character and personality. A beautiful smile is an attractive quality and industries have developed around it.
A lot of time, money, and often discomfort, is spent obtaining the perfect teeth in order to make the perfect smile.
Unfortunately, showing too much of your gums when smiling can take all the focus away from the beautiful teeth and the lips
A gummy smile occurs due to a muscle in this face over elevating the upper lip
Anti-wrinkle Injections are a neuromodulator protein. It blocks the single from nerves to muscles and prevents the contraction which elevates the upper lip.
This is performed in the clinic
No anaesthetic is required
Dr. Faisal will carefully place botox into the levator labii superioris alaeque nasi muscle, which is responsible for the gummy smile treatment. This means an injection around each nostril
Dr. Faisal discourages you from exercising, massage, sauna and drinking alcohol for 4 hours after the procedure
The effect will start working after 3 days
Its best effect will be at 2 weeks
Dr. Faisal will invite you back to the clinic at 2 weeks
The effect typically lasts for 4 months, at which Dr. Faisal will invite you back for a further treatment
Inform Dr. Faisal if you have previously had a reaction with Anti-wrinkle injections
Avoid any alcohol consumption before the injection
This is a minimally invasive procedure so no time off work is necessary
