Botulinum injections target the hyperactive upper lip muscle, precisely reducing its elevation during facial expressions. This non-surgical treatment minimises gum exposure when smiling, creating a more balanced smile appearance. Our medically trained specialists deliver carefully measured doses for natural looking results while maintaining facial movement. Treatment takes just minutes with results visible within days.
Many people have what’s known as a “gummy smile”, where the upper lip rises excessively, exposing more gum tissue than desired. At Celeste Medical in Cork, our experienced team of medical aesthetic professionals can help you achieve a more balanced, confident smile with targeted botulinum injections.
A gummy smile is often caused by an overactive upper lip muscle, which pulls the lip too far upward when smiling. This can be due to genetics, anatomy, or even certain dental conditions. Regardless of the cause, a gummy smile can make you hesitant to fully express your joy and laughter.
Botulinum Type A injections are a safe and effective way to correct a gummy smile. When precisely injected into the hyperactive upper lip muscle, these treatments relax the muscle’s contraction, reducing the elevation of the lip when smiling. This leads to a more natural, aesthetically pleasing smile where the gums are less prominent.
