Gummy smile
A gummy smile
is when too much of the upper gum shows when you smile. It can affect your confidence, even if your teeth are healthy. At Skin House, we offer a simple, non-surgical solution using anti-wrinkle injections to relax the upper lip and reduce excessive gum exposure.
This treatment works by targeting the muscles responsible for lifting the upper lip. By softening their movement, your smile becomes more balanced and natural-looking without affecting speech or facial expressions.
