Gummy Smile Botox Treatment Areas
What Gummy Smile Botox Treats
Excessive Gum Show
Relaxing the upper-lip elevators keeps the top lip from lifting as high, so less gum is visible when you smile. Ideal for patients whose gum show comes from muscle pull rather than tooth or bone position.
Treatments+
A few tiny units soften the muscles that raise the upper lip, so the lip rests a little lower over the gums when you smile. The change is subtle and reads as a more balanced version of your own smile.
Causes+
Strong upper-lip elevator muscles pull the top lip up high when you smile, exposing more of the gum line than you would like.
Gummy Smile Botox Results
What to expect, from treatment day to full result
Onset (Days 3–7)
Days 3 to 7 · onset begins
Treatment takes just a few minutes with a couple of tiny injections into the upper-lip muscles. Onset begins around days 3 to 7 as the muscles start to relax and the top lip lifts a little less. There is minimal downtime.
Full Effect (Week 2)
Week 2 · full result appears
By about two weeks the muscles are fully relaxed, so the upper lip rests lower over the gums and less gum shows when you smile. This is when the balanced result is fully visible.
Peak Results (Months 3–4)
Months 3 to 4 · settled result
The balanced smile holds through the treatment window, and results typically last about three to four months. A follow-up appointment helps you plan your next treatment to keep the look consistent.

FAQ
Your Gummy Smile Botox Questions,
Answered by Victoria
Everything you need to know about gummy smile botox before your appointment at Victoria Rose Aesthetics.
Gummy smile botox pricing at VRA is per unit. The treatment usually needs only a few small units because the upper-lip muscles are delicate. We confirm the exact unit count and full cost at your consultation before any treatment begins. Skin Club members receive preferred per-unit pricing on every visit.
A few tiny units relax the upper-lip elevator muscles that pull the top lip up when you smile. With those muscles softened, the lip does not lift as high, so less gum is visible and the smile looks more balanced. It works best when excessive gum show comes from muscle pull rather than tooth or bone position.
Gummy smile botox typically uses only a few small units, placed into the upper-lip elevator muscles. The exact amount depends on how strongly your upper lip lifts and how much gum shows. Because the muscles are delicate, conservative dosing is used. Your VRA injector assesses your smile at consultation and shows you the dose plan before any injection.
Onset usually begins within 3 to 7 days as the upper-lip muscles start to relax. The full result appears by about two weeks, when the top lip rests lower over the gums and less gum shows when you smile.
Results typically last about 3 to 4 months, consistent with standard Botox longevity. Your VRA injector reviews how long your last round held at each visit and adjusts the plan to keep the balanced smile consistent.
A well-placed treatment keeps your smile looking natural. We use conservative doses and precise placement so the upper lip lifts a little less while your smile keeps its natural movement. The goal is simply to reduce excessive gum show and bring the smile into better balance.
Most patients feel only a mild pinch at each injection point. The treatment takes just a few minutes with a couple of tiny injections and requires no anaesthesia. Ice can be applied to the area beforehand if requested.
It can help when the unevenness comes from the upper-lip muscles lifting more on one side than the other. Dosing each side to its own muscle strength helps bring the smile into better balance so the gums show more evenly. Your practitioner will assess whether it is the right option for your smile at consultation.
There is minimal to no downtime. You can return to normal activities right away. Avoid rubbing the area and lying flat for 4 hours, and skip strenuous exercise and heat for 24 hours. Any tiny injection marks fade within hours.
Gummy smile botox is botulinum toxin placed into the upper-lip elevator muscles, the muscles that lift the top lip when you smile. A few tiny units relax those muscles so the lip does not rise as high, reducing excessive gum show for a more balanced smile that still moves naturally. It works best when the gum show comes from muscle pull rather than tooth or bone position. Onset begins within 3 to 7 days, the full result appears by about two weeks, and results last roughly 3 to 4 months. At Victoria Rose Aesthetics in Pickering, the treatment takes just a few minutes with minimal downtime, using conservative dosing for a subtle, natural result.
