Treatment Overview
A gummy smile describes a smile that reveals a larger proportion of the upper gum than desired, often caused by overactivity of the muscle that elevates the upper lip. A carefully placed injection of botulinum toxin can gently relax this muscle, allowing the upper lip to sit lower when smiling and revealing a more balanced proportion of gum and tooth. Treatment is quick, minimally invasive and suitable for most adults seeking to reduce the appearance of a gummy smile without surgery. It is delivered by our aesthetic nurse practitioner following a full consultation and medical assessment to ensure the treatment is appropriate for your facial anatomy. Results develop gradually over the first week, with the full effect visible at around two weeks. The effect typically lasts three to four months, and regular treatments help maintain the result. A review appointment is recommended to ensure the outcome is natural and balanced.
