Soften a Gummy Smile and Keep Your Smile Natural
Gummy smile treatment is a quick, non-surgical injectable treatment designed to relax the muscles that lift the upper lip too high when you smile. This helps reduce the amount of gum shown, creating a softer, more balanced smile while still looking natural and expressive.
At Lucy Foster Wellness Clinic, every treatment is medically led and tailored to your facial anatomy, muscle movement and desired outcome. The aim is always a refined, subtle result that enhances your smile without making it look stiff or overdone.
Gummy Smile Treatment
A gummy smile occurs when excess gum tissue is visible above the upper teeth when smiling. While completely natural, it can sometimes feel out of balance with the rest of your facial features.
This quick, non-surgical treatment uses small, precisely placed anti-wrinkle injections to relax the muscles that lift the upper lip, allowing it to sit slightly lower when you smile.
The result is a softer, more proportioned appearance that still looks natural and expressive, with minimal discomfort and no downtime.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will my smile still look natural?
Yes. The goal is not to stop you smiling, but to soften excessive upper lip lift so your smile looks more balanced and natural. The clinic’s injectable approach emphasises preserving expression and natural movement.
Is gummy smile treatment painful?
Discomfort is minimal and very brief. Most clients tolerate treatment well.
How long does the appointment take?
The treatment itself is usually very quick, and appointments are typically around 15–30 minutes depending on consultation time and your treatment plan. The clinic’s broader anti-wrinkle treatment page lists treatment time as 30–45 minutes.
Can this be combined with other treatments?
Yes, depending on your goals. During consultation, your practitioner can advise whether gummy smile treatment should be part of a wider facial balancing or rejuvenation plan.
Do I need a consultation first?
Yes. A consultation ensures the treatment is safe, appropriate and tailored to your facial anatomy and desired result.
