How does Botox work?

Science behind Treatment

Mechanism of Action

A recent study in the Aesthetic Surgery Journal examined the efficacy of botulinum Neurotoxin for treating gummy smiles. The treatment involves injecting  into the hyperactive upper lip muscles, particularly the levator labii superioris alaeque nasi. This weakens the muscle's ability to lift the upper lip excessively, reducing gum exposure when smiling.

- Neurotoxin blocks acetylcholine release, temporarily paralyzing the muscle.

-Reduced muscle activity lowers the upper lip, concealing more of the gums.
