In a city known for its charm and confidence, many Atlanta residents seek subtle enhancements to help their natural beauty shine—especially when it comes to improving the look of their smile. Botox is a proven, non-surgical solution for reducing vertical mouth lip lines and softening the appearance of a gummy smile. At The K Spa, located in Buckhead and serving patients across Midtown, Sandy Springs, Brookhaven, and beyond, this treatment is performed under the direction of Dr. Benjamin Stong—Atlanta’s only dual board-certified facial plastic surgeon in both Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery and Otolaryngology – Head & Neck Surgery. The K Spa was designed as a physician-led med spa where every procedure is rooted in safety, precision, and the pursuit of natural-looking results.

Navigating Treatment

Your journey starts with a thorough consultation to determine whether Botox alone—or in combination with dermal fillers—is right for you. In many cases, small units of Botox can reduce upper lip movement, while fillers gently enhance volume and definition. Treatment typically takes less than 15 minutes, and while results vary slightly by patient, most begin noticing improvements within 3–7 days, with full results in about two weeks. You can expect your refreshed smile to last 3–5 months, with longer-lasting benefits seen through maintenance treatments. Patients from Druid Hills to Decatur choose The K Spa because we don’t just perform a procedure—we walk with you through the process, ensuring clarity, comfort, and confidence every step of the way.

Why Atlanta Patients Turn to The K Spa

The look of your smile is shaped by small facial muscles that control lip movement. When those muscles pull too strongly upward, it can lead to a “gummy” smile or visible vertical lines around the mouth. Botox works by relaxing specific muscle groups to rebalance your lip position and soften expression lines. What sets The K Spa apart is not just our access to premium neuromodulators like Botox—but how we use them. We rely on bruise-free cannulas (rather than standard needles), which allow for more precise placement, lower risk of bruising, and greater comfort. Combined with Dr. Stong’s deep expertise in facial anatomy and artistic eye, patients see results that feel elevated but never exaggerated.

Botox Usage Trends in Georgia

Georgia has seen a marked rise in non-surgical aesthetic procedures over the last decade. According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, over 90,000 Botox procedures were performed statewide last year, with Atlanta ranking among the top cities in the Southeast for cosmetic injectables. This growth reflects a shift toward preventative care and subtle rejuvenation, especially among working professionals and adults in their 30s to 50s. At The K Spa, we continue to see increasing demand for Botox treatments that address early signs of aging—like lip lines—before they require more invasive interventions. Our commitment to medically guided, natural-looking results ensures our patients stay at the forefront of these national and regional trends.

The K Spa is great!!. Today I saw Dr. Strong for my eye synkensis. The treatment is Botox, and he always does a great and natural job. I also saw Carli today. She is fantastic, and so compassionate.
