Gummy Smile Treatment Surrey
Treatment Overview
Gummy smile treatment is a non-surgical aesthetic treatment designed to address excessive gum visibility (also referred to as gingival display) when smiling. Using precise anti-wrinkle injections, this advanced treatment targets the overactive upper lip muscles responsible for lifting the lip too high during expression, which can expose excess gum tissue and impact the balance of the smile. As part of our Botox treatments in Surrey, this approach helps achieve a more balanced, natural-looking smile.
This comfortable treatment is an ideal solution for patients seeking an attractive smile and natural-looking outcomes without invasive dental treatment.

How Does Gummy Smile Treatment Work?
Your initial consultation will involve an in-depth assessment of your facial structure, smile dynamics, and medical history. This allows your practitioner to design a bespoke treatment plan suited to your facial features and aesthetic goals.
During the procedure, your practitioner identifies the key injection points – typically around the elevator muscles of the upper lip. After cleansing the area, a topical numbing cream may be applied. It is then injected with ultra-fine needles into the overactive muscles to reduce their contraction.
This allows the upper lip to relax slightly when smiling, reducing excessive gum visibility and creating a more balanced smile.
Gummy Smile Treatment Results
Initial results become visible within a few days, with the full effect settling in after two weeks. This injectable treatment typically lasts 3 – 4 months, and regular treatments may be recommended to maintain a pleasing appearance.
As part of a wider facial aesthetic programme, gummy smile injections can be paired with dermal fillers, tear trough treatment, or anti-wrinkle treatments targeting frown lines, glabellar lines, or forehead lines for comprehensive rejuvenation.

Frequently asked questions
Am I suitable for gummy smile treatment?
This treatment is generally used for patients who have a gummy smile due to a hypermobile top lip. If the condition is dental-related you will need to contact your dentist who will be able to advise the most appropriate form of treatment.
Will gummy smile treatment hurt?
The needles used for anti-wrinkle injections are extremely small. As a result, most people experience little to no discomfort during treatment. Some patients describe a slight punching or stinging sensation. If you are worried about pain, your practitioner can apply a topical numbing cream.
Are there any side effects to gummy smile treatment?
Swelling and sensitivity of the treated area is to be expected, however, this only usually lasts for a few hours.
Are there any aftercare instructions post-gummy smile treatment?
After gummy smile reduction with anti-wrinkle injections, maintain gentle care, avoid excessive facial movements, and refrain from lying down for a few hours. Follow any additional instructions provided by your practitioner.
When can I expect results from gummy smile treatment?
Results from gummy smile reduction using anti-wrinkle injections typically become noticeable within a few days, with the full effect usually developing in around two weeks. Individual responses may vary.
