Toxin Treatments

A gummy smile, medically referred to as excessive gingival display, occurs when an overly large portion of gum tissue is visible above the upper teeth when smiling. A toxin treatment can be used to address this by temporarily relaxing the elevator muscles responsible for lifting the upper lip, thereby reducing how much the lip rises during a smile. The effects usually last for approximately three to four months.

These are small vertical lines that appear above the upper lip. As you get older, these lines tend to deepen and become more noticeable.

Botulinum toxin works by relaxing the muscles, including those around the mouth that are frequently used. By softening these muscles, the treatment helps to reduce the appearance of fine lines above the lips.

Dermal fillers are another excellent option for both men and women looking to smooth these lines. Made from hyaluronic acid, these fillers hydrate the skin and add subtle volume, helping to better define the upper lip. The treatment is typically carried out using a very fine needle for precision.

Jawline slimming, also known as masseter reduction for cosmetic purposes, is a straightforward yet effective treatment that involves injecting Botulinum toxin type A into the masseter muscles to create a slimmer, more refined, and typically more feminine jawline.

The masseter muscles are located at the angle of the jaw and are responsible for chewing. In some individuals, prominent jaw muscles are simply a natural part of their facial structure. However, in others, an overly square jawline may be caused by a condition known as bruxism—excessive teeth grinding or clenching.

Over time, habitual grinding can lead to enlargement of the masseter muscles, resulting in a more pronounced, square-shaped lower face. This can also be accompanied by discomfort and other more serious symptoms. Relaxing these muscles with targeted injections can help restore a softer jawline and reduce related issues.

“Bunny lines” are the delicate wrinkles that appear on either side of the nose, often becoming noticeable when you scrunch or wrinkle your nose—such as during laughing or smiling. These fine lines, like many other facial wrinkles, gradually form as a result of repeated facial expressions over time. While they are a natural part of the ageing process, they can become more prominent and affect the overall smoothness of the skin.

As part of my non-surgical aesthetic treatments, I offer targeted toxin injections that effectively soften the appearance of bunny lines. This minimally invasive procedure works by temporarily relaxing the muscles responsible for these dynamic wrinkles, resulting in a smoother, more youthful appearance. The treatment is quick, requires no downtime, and typically delivers noticeable results within a few days, lasting around three to four months.

Whether you’re looking to refresh your overall look or maintain a youthful appearance, my toxin treatments provide a safe and effective solution tailored to your individual facial anatomy and aesthetic goals. All treatments are carried out with a precise, personalised approach to ensure natural-looking results.
