Gummy Smile
Small amounts of botulinum toxin may be used in carefully selected patients around the mouth.
Treatment may reduce excessive upper-lip elevation when smiling.
Injectables
Botox in Dubai
Smooth Lines. Preserve Natural Expression.
Botox is an injectable treatment used to temporarily relax selected facial muscles responsible for dynamic expression lines.
With Dr. Nivine Cheaito, treatment is personalised according to facial anatomy, muscle strength, symmetry and the amount of movement you want to preserve.
The goal is not a frozen face. It is a fresher, smoother appearance that still looks like you.

Mechanism
How Does Botox Work?
Botulinum toxin temporarily reduces activity in selected muscles.
When precisely injected, this can soften expression lines caused by repeated facial movement while preserving natural expression.
Dr. Nivine adjusts the dose and injection pattern according to your individual muscle activity rather than following the same protocol for every face.
Upper face
Botox for Forehead, Frown Lines and Crow's Feet
These are among the most commonly treated areas.
Forehead Lines
Horizontal lines created by repeated eyebrow movement.
Frown Lines
Vertical lines between the eyebrows that can create a tense or tired appearance.
Crow's Feet
Expression lines around the outer corners of the eyes.
BOTOX Cosmetic is officially indicated in the US for forehead lines, frown lines, crow's feet and platysma bands.
Lower face
Masseter Botox and Jawline Slimming
Strong masseter muscles may create a wider or more square-looking lower face.
For suitable patients, targeted botulinum toxin treatment may gradually reduce excessive muscle activity and create a softer jawline contour.
Treatment may be considered for:
- Prominent masseter muscles
- Square lower face
- Facial slimming
- Selected jaw-clenching concerns
Not every wide jaw is caused by muscle, so anatomical assessment is important.
Lip Flip
A lip flip relaxes selected muscles around the upper lip, allowing slightly more of the lip to show without adding filler volume.
These treatments require conservative dosing to preserve natural smile movement.
Neck and jawline
Nefertiti Neck and Jawline Treatment
Botulinum toxin may also be used strategically in selected lower-face and neck muscles.
Treatment may help improve:
- Platysmal neck bands
- Downward muscular pull
- Jawline appearance
- Lower-face tension
Significant skin laxity may require another treatment approach.
Product selection
Botox and Neuromodulator Options
Different botulinum toxin products have different formulations and treatment characteristics.
Depending on clinical suitability and availability, options may include:
BOTOX Cosmetic
One of the most established botulinum toxin type A treatments worldwide, used for selected dynamic facial lines.
Relfydess
Relfydess by Galderma contains relabotulinumtoxinA and is a ready-to-use liquid neuromodulator developed with PEARL Technology.
Clinical data reported by Galderma show an early onset of effect and efficacy maintained through six months in some patients treated for frown lines and crow's feet.
Dysport
An established botulinum toxin type A option used for selected facial expression lines.
XEOMIN
Another botulinum toxin type A treatment that may be selected according to the treatment area and individual clinical plan.
There is no single best toxin for every patient.
Dr. Nivine selects the product, dose and placement according to your facial anatomy, previous treatment history and desired level of movement.
Conservative dosing
conservative Botox dosing and Natural Botox
Some patients want softer results while maintaining greater facial movement.
conservative Botox dosing commonly describes a conservative dosing approach.
However, fewer units are not automatically better.
The correct dose depends on:
- Muscle strength
- Facial anatomy
- Expression pattern
- Treatment area
- Desired result
Dr. Nivine's objective is controlled movement rather than complete freezing.

Identification of treatment points
- 03
Precise injections into selected muscles

Personalised aftercare advice
Treatment is generally quick with minimal downtime.
When Will I See Results?
Botox does not work immediately.
Muscle activity gradually reduces after treatment, and expression lines become progressively softer.
The effects are temporary and gradually wear off as muscle activity returns.
Botox Recovery
Downtime is generally minimal.
Temporary effects may include:
- Redness
- Small injection marks
- Mild swelling
- Bruising
- Tenderness
- Temporary headache
Your aftercare instructions will be personalised according to the areas treated.

FAQs
Botox FAQs
Will Botox freeze my face?
Not necessarily. Appropriate dosing and placement can reduce excessive muscle activity while maintaining natural expression.
How long does Botox last?
Results are temporary and commonly last several months, although duration varies between patients.
Can Botox slim the jawline?
In patients with prominent masseter muscles, it may gradually create a softer lower-face contour.
Can Botox treat a gummy smile?
Yes, in selected patients, carefully placed treatment may reduce excessive upper-lip elevation.
Is a lip flip the same as lip filler?
No. Botox changes muscle activity. Filler adds volume and structure.
What is Relfydess?
Relfydess is a newer ready-to-use liquid botulinum toxin type A neuromodulator from Galderma.
Which Botox brand is best?
There is no universal best option. Product selection depends on anatomy, muscle strength, treatment area, previous response and desired result.
