What is a gummy smile and how does it occur?

A display of excessive gum tissue, 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 hyperactive muscles in the upper lip that elevate it too much.

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 smiling or laughing. It can make you feel self-conscious or dissatisfied with your smile, impacting your self-confidence and self-perception.

Benefits of treating a gummy smile with Botox

Botox treatment offers an effective solution for reducing a gummy smile. During the procedure, a precise amount of Botox is injected into the muscles responsible for elevating the upper lip. This relaxes the muscles, reducing the elevation of the lip and the exposure of your gums when smiling. 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 Bio-stimulator Treatments?

Botox works by relaxing specific facial muscles, 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 natural substance in the skin that retains water and helps keep the skin hydrated and plump.

Bio-stimulators, such as calcium hydroxylapatite and poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), are injectable substances that stimulate the body's natural collagen production. They work gradually over time to improve skin quality and texture, resulting in firmer, more youthful-looking skin. Bio-stimulators 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.

What is Botox and how does it work?

Botulinum Toxin, commonly known as Botox, is a natural 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 or disappear completely.

Is Botox treatment painful?

Botox treatment is virtually painless.

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

Pain perception varies from person to person; if you are very sensitive to pain, inform our doctor so we can use ice, a numbing cream, or other tools to minimize discomfort.

What brands are used at TIAM Aesthetic Clinic?

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

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

Both products have been on the market for over 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.

Will I look unnatural or exaggerated after a Botox treatment?

The results of Botox treatments depend on the product used and the injection technique of your doctor.

All of our doctors are highly trained and experienced in Botox treatments, 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.

At what age should I start using Botox?

Your age does not determine when you should start 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 in clients in their twenties who are starting to use Botox to prevent static lines and wrinkles.
