Smile with
Confidence.
Your smile plays a powerful role in how you express warmth, confidence, and joy. For some people, however, excessive gum display when smiling, commonly known as a gummy smile, can create self‑consciousness and affect how naturally they smile.
At Lux Derm, we offer non‑surgical gummy smile treatment to restore harmony between the lips, teeth, and gums, allowing you to smile freely with confidence.
What Is a Gummy Smile?
A gummy smile occurs when an excessive amount of gum tissue is visible above the upper teeth when smiling. This is often caused by overactive muscles that lift the upper lip too high, making the gums appear more prominent and the teeth smaller.
It is estimated that around 15% of individuals experience a gummy smile to some degree. While completely natural, it can disrupt facial balance and affect self‑confidence for some.
Our Gummy Smile treatment involves precisely placed muscle‑relaxing injections that reduce the excessive upward movement of the upper lip.
By gently limiting this muscle action:
The upper lip sits more naturally when smiling
Gum exposure is reduced
Smile proportions appear more balanced
Facial expression remains natural and unrestricted
Results feel natural, not stiff or artificial, and most clients return to normal activities immediately. The goal is not to change your smile, but to refine it so it feels more aligned with how you want to be seen.
Results typically develop within 7–14 days and can up to 3 months, with maintenance treatment extending longevity.
