THE TREATMENT

Gum visibility when smiling may be managed using muscle relaxant injections. This treatment works by targeting the muscles responsible for excessive upper lip elevation, potentially reducing gum exposure.

How the Treatment Works

Muscle relaxant injections temporarily reduce the activity of the upper lip muscles, allowing the lip to rest in a more neutral position. The procedure is quick and minimally invasive, often completed in just 10 minutes. A single injection is administered into the soft tissue and muscle above the upper lip.

Post-Treatment Expectations

Minor redness or swelling may occur but usually subsides quickly.
Small marks resembling mosquito bites might be visible for a few minutes after the procedure.
Results typically begin to appear around 2 weeks post-treatment and can last 3–4 months, though individual experiences may vary.
You can usually return to daily activities immediately after the procedure.

Cost of Treatment

The average cost ranges from $120 to $150. For a more tailored assessment and pricing, we recommend booking a consultation at your nearest Cosmos Clinic location.

What causes gum visibility when smiling?

There are several causes, but one of the most common can be over-active muscles controlling the upper lip.

How long will results last?

Results will take effect at around 2 weeks and in most cases last 3 to 4 months.

Are there any risks or complications?

Injectable muscle relaxants are considered safe when administered by a medical professional. There have been no permanent side effects reported for this treatment. Muscle telaxing injections have been used for over 20 years in both cosmetic and therapeutic treatments without any reported long term issue. They are also commonly used in much higher dosages to treat children with cerebral palsy to reduce muscle spasms, amblyopia and excessive sweating.
