When it's worth it — indications

Noticeably exposed gums when smiling — when more shows than you'd like.
An overactive muscle lifting the upper lip — the cause Botox treats best.
A wish for a subtle correction — harmonising the smile line while keeping its natural character.
A quick, non-invasive method — no downtime, reversible by nature.
A "test" of a less invasive solution — before considering more permanent options (gum surgery or orthodontics).

The areas we work on

the dose is matched to muscle strength (men's expressions can be stronger);
the same principle still applies: a small amount, precisely placed;
the goal: a harmonious, natural smile without affecting its character;
zero downtime — back to daily activities straight after the visit.

Gummy smile in men — same method, different conversation

A gummy smile in men is corrected less often than in women, but the mechanism is identical: an overactive muscle lifting the upper lip pulls it up too strongly when smiling. Botulinum toxin relaxes it precisely — the lip lifts a little less, the gum-to-teeth proportion evens out, and the face stays fully natural.

Men usually expect a result that's invisible in action — a correction no one would call a treatment. And rightly so: a well-executed, small dose delivers exactly that outcome. The proportion changes, not the character of the smile or facial expression.

Dose adjusted for stronger expression

In men, facial muscles are often stronger and denser than in women. The doctor takes this into account when selecting the dose — still following the principle of precision and restraint, but factoring in greater muscle strength. This doesn't mean more toxin, but rather more precise calibration of the point and dose. We assess the result at the follow-up two weeks later — this is a planned step, not a sign of problems.

Zero downtime — back to work straight away

The treatment takes a few moments, requires no anaesthesia, and leaves no visible marks — any minor redness fades within hours. After the visit, you return to your daily activities, including meetings and work. The only recommendation for the first 24 hours is to avoid intense exercise and sauna — due to the risk of bruising, not the toxin's effect.

Frequently asked questions

Will anyone notice I've had something done?

With the correct dose — no. The change is subtle: less gum shows when smiling, with the same expression and character. The effect is perceived as you look good, not as you've had something done to your face.

Is this the right method if I have strong facial expressions?

Yes — the doctor selects the dose individually, taking your muscle strength into account. The same principle of precision applies as for women: what matters is the exact point and the right amount, not the maximum dose.

How long does the effect last?

About 3–5 months — the muscles around the mouth metabolise the toxin faster than, for example, forehead muscles, because they're used intensively for speaking and eating. After this time, the effect gradually fades and the smile returns to its pre-treatment state.

Can I combine this visit with forehead or neck Botox?

Yes, this is a common scenario — the doctor can plan several toxin zones during one visit. Gummy smile treatment and upper-face Botox (forehead, frown lines) are most often performed together, saving time and giving a cohesive overall result.

Does it hurt?

It's a few small pricks around the nasolabial area — the sensation is minimal, with no need for anaesthesia. The whole treatment takes literally a few moments.
