Gummy Smile Botox

Description

A gummy smile, where an excessive amount of gum tissue is exposed when smiling, can be aesthetically corrected with Botox (botulinum toxin). The procedure begins with an initial consultation, where the patient's smile and facial anatomy are carefully assessed to determine the appropriate injection sites and dosage. On the day of the procedure, the patient's skin is cleansed thoroughly to maintain a sterile environment and minimize the risk of infection. Depending on the patient's preference and tolerance, a topical numbing agent may be applied to reduce discomfort from the injections. The Botox is then precisely injected into the hyperactive muscles responsible for lifting the upper lip, commonly the levator labii superioris alaeque nasi muscle. This step requires expert knowledge of facial anatomy to ensure targeted muscle relaxation without affecting other facial expressions. The entire injection process typically takes just a few minutes. Post-procedure, patients might experience mild swelling or bruising, which generally subsides within a few days. The effects of Botox for gummy smile correction usually begin to appear within 3-5 days, with full results visible in about two weeks. The result is a more balanced and aesthetically pleasing smile, lasting approximately 3-4 months, at which point repeat treatments may be necessary to maintain the desired outcome.

EUNEL CLINIC is an aesthetics/dermatology clinic near Gangnam Station in Seoul that focuses on lifting, anti-aging, injectables, and targeted skin-concern treatments (acne, pores/scars, and pigmentation). Skin Tightening & Lifting (Energy-based) Ultherapy uses high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) energy to stimulate deeper tissue layers and support lifting and firmness. It targets the dermis and the SMAS layer to improve skin elasticity and facial lift. Thermage FLX uses radiofrequency energy to promote collagen regeneration for skin tightening. It is used for immediate tightening and longer-term elasticity improvement. Sofwave is an ultrasound-based tightening treatment that targets skin laxity and firmness. It is offered as part of the clinic’s lifting equipment lineup for non-surgical tightening. Injectables (Wrinkle Reduction & Volume) Botox relaxes targeted facial muscles to soften expression lines and reduce the appearance of wrinkles. It is commonly used for areas like the forehead, glabella (between the brows), and crow’s feet. Dermal Filler adds volume and contour to areas such as the lips, chin, nose, and midface for shape refinement. It is used to balance proportions and smooth certain folds by restoring volume. Thread Lifting (PDO/PLLA Thread Techniques) Thread Lift repositions and supports sagging areas by placing medical threads to lift and reshape facial contours. The clinic frames thread lifting as a structural “re-shaping” approach that adjusts volume position and facial lines rather than simply pulling skin. Silhouette Soft is a branded thread-lifting option used to support lifting and contour refinement. It is listed among the thread types offered at the clinic. Mint Lift is another branded thread-lifting option offered for facial lifting and contour support. It is listed among the thread types offered at the clinic. Skin Boosters & Collagen Stimulation (Anti-aging) Skin Booster refers to injectable/dermal-delivery treatments that improve hydration, glow, and skin texture by using ingredients such as hyaluronic acid and regenerative/antioxidant components. The clinic describes combining skin booster ingredients based on skin condition to revive density and vitality from deeper layers. Collagen Booster stimulates fibroblasts to encourage the skin to produce its own collagen and improve firmness over time. The clinic positions this as restoring skin structure for longer-lasting elasticity and volume improvement. Autologous Stem Cell Therapy involves using a patient’s own stem cells delivered by injection (including intravenous or skin injection) as an anti-aging approach. The clinic describes it as a regenerative solution aimed at supporting recovery in aged or damaged areas. Acne Care Intralesional Anti-inflammatory Injection is used for large, painful inflammatory acne to bring down swelling quickly. The clinic describes this as an immediate treatment intended to help prevent deeper scarring and dark marks after severe inflammation. Pores & Acne Scars Potenza (Microneedling RF) tightens pores by delivering radiofrequency energy through microneedles to stimulate deeper dermal remodeling. The clinic describes it as targeting stretched pores associated with acne and excess sebum while helping reduce oil output. Fraxel (Fractional Laser) treats enlarged pores and acne scars by creating controlled micro-injuries that trigger skin renewal and smoothing. The clinic describes using Fraxel-type treatment as part of a combined approach to refine texture and scar appearance. Pigmentation & Tone (Spots/Melasma/Freckles) Pigmentation Laser Program targets concerns like spots, freckles, and melasma by combining different laser wavelengths based on skin assessment. The clinic describes using a tailored plan after 1:1 consultation and analysis of pigment characteristics.
