What Is Gummy Smile Treatment?
A gummy smile is when the upper lip lifts a little high when you smile — showing more gum than you might want. Using tiny doses of anti-wrinkle treatment, we can relax the muscle responsible, allowing the lip to sit lower and your smile to feel more balanced. It’s a quick, subtle fix that can boost confidence without changing how you smile or speak. At Dr Naz Clinics, it’s done gently, precisely, and always in line with your natural expression.

Why It Works
The muscle that lifts the upper lip (called the levator labii) can sometimes overact — especially when smiling. A small amount of Botox (botulinum toxin) relaxes that muscle just enough to let the lip settle slightly lower. This doesn’t affect speaking, chewing, or expressions — just reduces how much gum shows. Most people notice results within a week. It’s one of those “small but mighty” treatments that can really shift how you feel about smiling in photos or in person.

What Your Appointment Looks Like
We’ll begin with a chat — what you’ve noticed, what you hope for, and if gummy smile treatment is the right fit. Dr Naz will watch how your face moves when smiling and speaking, and explain the process clearly.
The treatment itself takes about 5 minutes. You can head out right after. Results appear in a few days and last around 3–4 months.
Step One
Your Consultation
We assess your smile — how your lip moves, where the tension sits, and whether treatment can help. You’ll get honest feedback with no pressure.
Step Two
The Treatment
A small amount of anti-wrinkle product is placed just above the lip, targeting the lifting muscle. It’s quick and barely noticeable.
Step Three
Follow-Up & Aftercare
We’ll check in to ensure results are settling well. Most clients return every 3–4 months if they choose to maintain it.
