How gummy smile treatment works
The process of gummy smile treatment using wrinkle relaxers is relatively straightforward. It involves a series of precise injections into the muscles of the upper lip. These muscles, when overactive, contribute to a gummy smile by elevating the lip too much and exposing excessive gum tissue. The treatment works by blocking nerve signals to these muscles, preventing them from contracting.
As a result, the upper lip muscles relax and less gum tissue is exposed when you smile.
The procedure is quick, typically taking about 10 to 15 minutes, and involves minimal discomfort.
