Why Are People Choosing Less Invasive Options?

Many people are uncomfortable with surgery in general, or have other reasons that would make it a less desirable solution for them. Issues like finances, pain or discomfort, the amount of time needed for treatment or healing, etc. are very important factors when considering any type of treatment.

With today’s technology and medical and dental advancements, what was once considered to be untreatable or only treatable with surgery has now been replaced by much less invasive methods of treatment.

Enter cosmetic injections.

What was once an option only available for the rich and famous, cosmetic injections have now become mainstream for the rest of the population. They are a great option that is a quick fix with little to no pain or downtime. They have become much more affordable as well, and this is great news for anyone that feels that surgery or braces are just not a doable option for them.

There is no down-time after receiving cosmetic injections and the effects are immediate. And the best part of all is that they have been fully tested and are well known to be a safe and effective option.

How Do Cosmetic Injections Correct a Gummy Smile?

There are different types of injections used to correct the look of a gummy smile and each has a different purpose. The type used will depend upon your own smile and what you would like to change about it.

The two most common injectable methods used for smile enhancements are dermal fillers and muscle relaxants. Both are quick procedures with minimal pain involved. They both are excellent at decreasing the amount of gums that show, while still allowing a natural looking smile.

Do Dermal Injections Help Correct a Gummy Smile? Does Botox Help?

Dermal fillers – Dermal fillers add volume and plumpness to the upper lip, which helps to block the amount of gums that show. They are injected with a small needle to areas around or under the upper lip. They are a great option to balance out the shape of the lips, and lessen how much gum is shown.

Muscle relaxants – Muscle relaxants are often known by the brand name of Botox, although there are other brands as well. Small injections to very specific muscles around the top lip relax those muscles and lessen the amount the top lip can elevate.

Are Cosmetic Injections a Temporary Fix?

There are different types of both dermal fillers and muscle relaxants. Some are permanent and others are temporary and may need to be repeated every 3 to 6 months. Your doctor will give you a full run-down on the options available to you.
