Gummy Smile

Smile Freely And Confidently.

At House of Glo, our medically-led Gummy Smile treatment is designed to gently and precisely soften excessive gum display, helping to create a more balanced, harmonious smile.

Led by Nurse Julie, we take a warm, supportive and clinically professional approach, ensuring your treatment is tailored to your facial anatomy and personal goals.

What is Gummy Smile treatment?

Gummy Smile treatment is a simple, medically-led procedure that uses carefully placed anti-wrinkle injections to relax the muscles that lift the upper lip. When these muscles are softened, the lip sits slightly lower when you smile - reducing the amount of gum that shows and creating a more balanced, natural-looking smile.

What Does Gummy Smile Treatment Treat?

Gummy Smile treatment is designed to gently rebalance the relationship between your upper lip and gums when you smile. By softening specific lip elevator muscles, it creates a more harmonious, confident smile without altering your natural expression.

It can help to treat:

  • Excessive gum show when smiling
  • A high or overactive upper lip
  • A smile that feels unbalanced or disproportionate
  • Self-consciousness linked to gum visibility
  • Tension or overactivity in the upper lip muscles

Is Gummy Smile Treatment safe?

At House of Glo, your safety is always the priority. As a medically-led clinic, Nurse Julie completes a thorough consultation to assess your facial anatomy, muscle movement, and overall suitability before recommending treatment. Your medical history is reviewed, risks are clearly explained, and you’ll have the opportunity to ask any questions - with no pressure to proceed.

What to Expect from the Gummy Smile session

1. Consultation

Your journey begins with a thorough, unhurried consultation with Nurse Julie. We’ll talk about what’s bothering you, how your smile moves naturally, and what you’d like to achieve. Your facial anatomy, lip movement and muscle activity will be carefully assessed to ensure the treatment is appropriate and safe for you.

2. Treatment

The treatment itself is quick and precise. Small amounts of anti-wrinkle medication are carefully placed into the muscles responsible for lifting the upper lip. The procedure usually takes just a few minutes and involves minimal discomfort.

3. Aftercare

After treatment, you can return to most normal daily activities straight away. You’ll be advised to:

  • Avoid rubbing or massaging the area for 24 hours
  • Remain upright for several hours post-treatment
  • Avoid strenuous exercise and excessive heat (such as saunas) for 24 hours

Full aftercare guidance will be provided to ensure optimal results.

4. Results

Results typically begin to appear within 3–7 days, with full effects visible at around two weeks. Your upper lip will relax slightly when you smile, reducing gum visibility and creating a more harmonious balance.
