Why does a gummy smile happen?
What causes it?
A gummy smile often appears when the muscles that lift your upper lip are overactive, or when the upper lip is short, so the gums show every time you smile.
Why does it bother people?
When a lot of gum shows, it can draw attention away from your teeth and lips, so many people feel their smile looks uneven or self-conscious in photos and social situations.
How It Works
Targeted Action
Small amounts of anti wrinkle product are placed into the muscles that lift your upper lip too high when you smile.
Muscle Relaxation
As those muscles relax, your upper lip lifts less, so less gum is exposed when you smile.
Visible Results
You see a more even balance between gums, teeth, and lips while your smile still looks natural and expressive.

FAQ's
How does gummy smile treatment work?
Gummy smile treatment gently relaxes the upper lip muscles using a small amount of muscle-relaxing product. This limits how much the lip lifts when you smile, so less gum shows without changing your natural expression.
What is the best treatment for a gummy smile?
For many clients, non surgical anti wrinkle injections are a reliable option for softening an overactive upper lip. By targeting the lifting muscles, they reduce gum show without surgery or long downtime.
Will gummy smile treatment make my smile look fake or frozen?
No. The goal is to soften excessive lip movement, not stop it. Your smile should still look like you, just with less gum showing and a more even balance between your lips and teeth.
How soon will I see results?
You may start to notice improvement within a few days as the treated muscles begin to relax. Full results usually develop within 1 to 2 weeks.
How long do results last?
On average, results from gummy smile treatment last between 3 and 4 months. With regular maintenance appointments, many clients keep their smile looking balanced throughout the year.
How much does gummy smile treatment cost?
Anti wrinkle injections at Procosmetic are $14.95 per unit. A typical gummy smile treatment costs around $120, though this can vary based on your muscle strength and the number of units required.
Can gummy smile treatment prevent my gums from showing more over time?
By reducing repeated strong lifting of the upper lip, treatment may help stop the gummy smile from becoming more pronounced, so it can work for both correction and ongoing control.
Is the treatment painful?
Most people find gummy smile injections very quick and easy to tolerate. You may feel a mild pinch with each injection, and a numbing cream can be applied beforehand if you prefer.
Is there any downtime?
There is very little to no downtime. You might notice slight redness or small bumps at the injection sites for 15 to 30 minutes; avoid exercise, alcohol, and rubbing the area for the rest of the day.
Can I combine gummy smile treatment with other areas?
Yes. Many clients choose to combine gummy smile treatment with areas such as lip enhancement or other anti wrinkle areas, and we can plan a treatment approach that suits your goals and budget.
