Tox can be used to treat a gummy smile by targeting the muscles responsible for lifting the upper lip excessively when smiling. By injecting Tox into these muscles, it relaxes them, reducing the upward movement of the lip and minimizing the appearance of gum tissue when smiling. This treatment offers a non-invasive solution for achieving a more balanced smile that typically last 3-4 months.
