GUMMY SMILE
Subtle smile refinement for improved balance and confidence.
Gummy smile treatment is a precise, non-surgical approach designed to reduce excessive gum show when smiling. Using carefully placed anti-wrinkle injections, the treatment relaxes the muscles responsible for lifting the upper lip too high, allowing for a softer, more balanced smile.
Rather than altering your natural expression, this treatment refines how the upper lip moves, creating a more proportionate and harmonious appearance. It is ideal for clients who feel self-conscious about showing too much gum when smiling and want a subtle, natural-looking correction.

What to Expect:
The treatment involves a series of small, precise injections placed into the muscles responsible for elevating the upper lip. The procedure typically takes around 10–15 minutes and requires little to no downtime.
Results begin to develop within a few days, with full effect visible at around 10–14 days. The outcome is a softer, more controlled upper lip movement, reducing gum visibility while maintaining a natural smile.
Effects typically last 8–12 weeks, depending on individual muscle activity, with maintenance treatments recommended for consistency.
