About Gum Contouring

Enhancing the smile goes beyond just minimizing the wrinkles around the mouth; Botox offers additional benefits for a more radiant expression. The botulinum toxin is effective in minimizing the look of a โ€œgummy smile,โ€ which is medically referred to as excessive gingival. This condition, often genetic, can present as a short upper lip, small teeth, or an abundance of gum tissue. A New York City Botox expert, highlighted in a New York Times article, states that approximately 7% of men and 14% of women experience โ€œgummy smiles.โ€

Why We Love Botox for a Gummy Smile

At Zeugma Spa, we love using Botox for a gummy smile because it offers instant confidence without the need for invasive procedures. Unlike traditional gum contouring, which can be costly and require recovery time, Botox is a fast, non-invasive alternative. The subtle enhancement ensures that your smile looks natural and radiant, not “frozen.” Plus, our expert injectors understand the delicate balance of muscle control, ensuring that your Botox smile looks effortless and balanced. With Botox, you can refine your smile in a way that still looks like you just more confident!

Pre & Post Care for Your Gummy Smile Treatment

Before your Botox treatment, itโ€™s important to avoid blood thinners like aspirin or ibuprofen to minimize any potential bruising. Arriving with a clean, makeup-free face is recommended to keep the treatment area sterile. After the procedure, avoid rubbing or massaging the area for at least 24 hours to allow the Botox to settle properly. You may notice results gradually developing over 3 to 7 days, with full effects by the two-week mark. To maintain your results, scheduling a follow-up appointment every few months can keep your smile gummy-free and balanced. Our team at Zeugma Spa is always available to guide you through post-care and answer any concerns along the way.
