5 Ways To Improve Your Smile With Botox Treatments In Newcastle

Your smile is important. Whether you’re posing in front of a camera, greeting a stranger or interacting with friends, smiling paints a friendly, trustworthy picture. The very act releases neuropeptides, which can ward off stress. Yet many people are unhappy with their natural smile. RP Aesthetics offers a variety of Botox treatments in Newcastle that help to enhance your beauty. From ‘lip flips’ to lipstick lines, we can subtly reshape your smile, giving you the confidence to flash those pearly whites.

Botox Treatments That Enhance Your Smile

1. Improve A Gummy Smile
   The aptly nicknamed ‘gummy smile’ refers to a greater than average proportion of gum being on display when you grin. Most people reveal a mere triangle between each tooth, however, others can show several millimetres of gum tissue above the teeth. This can be counteracted in two ways.
   – The levator labii superioris and zygomaticus muscles run from the cheekbone to the corners of the mouth. Targeted Botox injections reduce their pull on the upper lip, concealing the gumline when you smile.
   – Injecting the orbicularis oris muscle that pulls the top lip down is commonly referred to as a ‘Lip Flip’. This procedure allows the lip to relax and curve outwards, improving the gum line-to-teeth ratio.
2. Lip-Flip – Fuller Lips Without Filler
   One of the most popular Botox treatments in Newcastle is the ‘lip flip’. Injection sites on the vermillion border of the top lip superficially target the orbicularis oris muscle to create a natural-looking pout. By subtly elevating the lip, it appears larger and more defined in shape, creating a much fuller look without the use of Dermal Fillers. Maintenance treatments are required every 3 months. Many of our clients find that the time between appointments lengthens after the first year.
3. Reverse A Downturned Smile
   The depressor anguli oris muscle is situated between the corners of the mouth and the jawline. Its downward pull can make you appear sad or grumpy when your face is at rest. Small amounts of neurotoxin inhibit muscle contraction and reverse the appearance of a downturned smile, creating a more neutral expression. The full effect of the treatment can be seen after 2 weeks, with results lasting up to 6 months.
4. Soften Lipstick Lines
   The majority of our Botox treatments in Newcastle seek to slow down the clock and correct the signs of ageing. Lipstick lines refer to the etches that line the lips, visible when you pout or use a straw. Although they are not commonly visible during your twenties, expressive lines that are used regularly can become a permanent feature when your collagen levels dwindle. Lipstick lines can be softened with a small number of Botox injections, creating a smoother, more youthful appearance.
5. Smooth a Bumpy Chin
   An overactive mentalis muscle can cause your chin to look dimpled or bumpy. This uncharacteristic skin texture can detract from your smile and make you feel self-conscious. Targeted Botox injections can significantly reduce the appearance of a pebbled chin in a simple, 30-minute procedure. Results last for approximately 3-6 months.
