The appointment takes around 30 minutes, with the injections taking only 5 minutes.
The results from the botox take a few days to start to show, with full results in 2 weeks. Botox in this area generally lasts around 3-4 months on average, after which time, the muscles simply resume their normal activity.

After assessment, we place usually 2-3 small injections into the desired muscles. These are a tiny bit uncomfortable but generally totally fine. No numbing is needed!

There is no downtime whatsoever with botox! You may have small raised blebs on the surface of your skin initially, but these go on their own within 30-60 minutes.
After treatment, we advise you to stay upright for 4-6 hours so that the botox doesn’t move and not to have any facials/ facial massage for at least 2 weeks.
Gummy Smile Reduction
In many people, when they smile, their upper lip lifts very high which results in more of their gum showing and gives a ‘gummy smile’.
In those who dislike this, we can place small amount of neuromodulator into the affected muscles to relax them and therefore reduce the amount of gum showing on smiling.
This will not restrict your smile, but simply aim to reduce the amount of lift of the upper lip.
