Rediscover a harmonious and balanced smile
Some people show more gums when they smile. While this is perfectly normal, it can sometimes cause self-consciousness. The Botox treatment for gummy smiles offered by IP Clinic gently rebalances your smile without surgery.
Personalized consultation
Before treatment, our doctors conduct a thorough analysis of your smile. We examine the mobility of your upper lip, the height of your visible gums, and your aesthetic expectations. This consultation allows us to define a treatment plan tailored to your needs, while respecting the harmony of your face.
Area preparation
Before the injections, the area is thoroughly cleaned. Before and after photos are taken to visualize the final result. An anesthetic cream can be applied for an even more comfortable treatment.
precise injection
Botox is injected into the muscle responsible for the excessive upward movement of the upper lip when you smile. These injection points are very precise and allow the muscle to be slightly relaxed so that the lip rises less. The smile then becomes more balanced, natural, and harmonious. The treatment is quick and virtually painless.
Formatting & Post-Processing Tips
The results begin to appear after a few days, and the correction is optimal around 14 days. Your smile remains completely natural: only the height of the upper lip is adjusted to avoid excessive gum exposure. Our doctors then provide you with all the necessary recommendations to optimize the result.

Post-operative follow-up
After treatment, it is advisable to remain upright for the first few hours, without lying down or bending over. For the next 24 hours, avoid alcohol, tobacco, and strenuous exercise. For two weeks, it is best to avoid sun and UV exposure, as well as saunas, spas, steam rooms, and facial treatments such as lasers or peels. The effects of Botox typically last between 3 and 6 months, after which the treatment can be repeated.
