How It Works For Women

For women, treatment focuses on softening the muscle movement that raises the upper lip too far when smiling.

By carefully relaxing the levator muscles with small, precise doses of prescription medicine, the upper lip rests naturally—creating a more balanced and elegant smile without affecting lip shape or expression.

 

The result is a refined, natural smile that feels relaxed and confident.

*Results vary by individual. Shown here are subtle improvements with maintained natural movement.
