Gingival Smile

Botox treatments: gummy smile by TIAM Aesthetic Clinic in Guadalajara

What is a gummy smile and how does it occur?

Excessive gum exposure, commonly known as a gummy smile, occurs when a large portion of the upper gums becomes visible when smiling, leading to a disproportionate appearance of the teeth and gums. This is typically caused by overactive muscles in the upper lip that raise it too high.

The impact a gummy smile can have on your appearance

When a gummy smile is very noticeable, it can affect the overall appearance of your face when you smile or laugh. It can make you feel self-conscious or dissatisfied with your smile, impacting your self-confidence and self-perception.

Benefits of treating the gummy smile with Botox

Botox treatment offers an effective solution to reduce the gummy smile. During the procedure, a precise amount of Botox is injected into the muscles responsible for lifting the upper lip. This relaxes the muscles, reducing lip elevation and exposure of your gums when you smile. As a result, your smile is both attractive and harmonious.

With our Botox gummy smile treatment in Guadalajara, you can achieve a smile that reflects confidence and attractiveness, all while maintaining a natural look.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between Dermal Fillers, Botox and Biostimulator Treatment?

Botox works by relaxing specific muscles in the face, which reduces the appearance of lines and wrinkles caused by facial expressions. This treatment is especially effective for dynamic wrinkles, such as frown lines, forehead lines and crow's feet, because it temporarily reduces the muscle movement that contributes to these wrinkles.

On the other hand, Hyaluronic Acid Fillers are injectable treatments that restore or add volume to the face. They work by filling wrinkles, enhancing facial contours and increasing volume in areas such as the cheekbones and lips. Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring substance in the skin that retains water and helps keep the skin hydrated and plump.

Biostimulators, such as calcium hydroxyapatite and poly-L-l-lactic acid (PLLA), are injectable substances that stimulate the body's natural collagen production. They work gradually over time to improve the quality and texture of the skin, resulting in firmer, more youthful-looking skin. Biostimulators are often used to correct deeper wrinkles, skin laxity and areas of volume loss, providing long-lasting rejuvenation effects beyond what fillers alone can achieve.

Botulinum toxin, commonly known as Botox, is a naturally occurring protein produced from the bacterium Clostridium botulinum. When Botox is injected, it blocks the nerve signal (neurotransmitters) that tells the muscle to contract. As a result, the muscle's ability to contract and move is reduced, which relaxes it, and superficial wrinkles are smoothed out or disappear completely.

Due to its muscle relaxing properties, Botox works especially well for wrinkles caused by muscle movements. The most frequently treated areas are in the upper third of the face including:

We also offer the following Botox treatments at our clinic in Guadalajara:

Botox treatment is virtually painless.

To minimize discomfort we use very fine needles and precision syringes; some clients compare the sensation to that of a small pinch.

The perception of pain varies from person to person; if you are very sensitive to pain, inform our physician so that we can use ice, anesthetic cream or other tools to minimize discomfort.

At TIAM Aesthetic Clinic, your safety and well-being are our priority, which is why we only use premium products from recognized companies.

We use the world's leading product Botox® from Allergan Aesthetics, an Abbvie company, and Dysport® from Galderma.

Both products have been on the market for more than 25 years, have thousands of studies and show a very high safety profile. Both are approved by COFEPRIS, the FDA (U.S. Food and Drug Administration) and the European Commission.

The results of Botox treatments depend on the product used and your physician's injection technique.

All of our doctors are highly trained and experienced in Botox treatment and we only use premium products in our clinic. We specialize in natural appearances so you look like yourself, only fresher and with less noticeable lines.

Your age does not determine when you should begin Botox treatments. The severity of your wrinkles and your personal preferences play a crucial role in deciding when to start.

Lately, we have seen an increase of clients in their twenties starting to use Botox to prevent static lines and wrinkles.

Schedule your free consultation with one of our doctors here and learn more about the ideal treatment to get the result you want.

As with all our treatments, the minimum age requirement is 18 years old.
