Gummy Smile Treatment
Naturally balanced smile
At MyClinic in Stockholm, we offer a wide range of aesthetic treatments tailored to enhance your natural beauty. Our experienced practitioners focus on creating subtle, harmonious results customized to your individual needs and desires.
What is Gummy Smile?
A Gummy Smile occurs when an excessive amount of gum is visible when smiling. It can be caused by an overactive muscle that elevates the upper lip, genetic factors, or a short upper lip. Although it is completely harmless, many choose to treat it to achieve a more balanced and harmonious smile.
How does the treatment work?
We offer a simple and effective treatment that reduces muscle activity in the area above the upper lip. By relaxing the muscle, the upper lip’s movement is minimized, resulting in less gum exposure when smiling. The outcome is a natural-looking smile that retains its character, just with less visible gum.
What can you expect?
- Natural Result: A more balanced smile where the gums do not dominate.
- Quick Procedure: The entire treatment takes only a few minutes with no downtime.
- Tailored Approach: Our experienced practitioners customize the treatment to your unique facial anatomy to achieve optimal results.
How long does the treatment last?
The effect usually lasts between 3 and 6 months. Regular follow-ups are recommended to maintain the results.
What to consider before treatment?
- No infection, fever, or general malaise (mild cold symptoms are acceptable).
- No active acne or rash in the injection area.
- No active herpes infection in the body or injection area.
- Not pregnant or breastfeeding.
- No muscular, neurological, or bleeding disorders.
Note: Blood thinners may increase the risk of bruising at the injection site.
What to consider after treatment?
- Avoid facial treatments or massages on the same day.
- Refrain from exercising on the same day.
- Avoid makeup or touching the treated area for at least six hours after treatment.
- Avoid lying down for the first four hours post-treatment.
It can take about 1–2 weeks for the full effect to develop. Mild redness, swelling, or occasional bruising may occur immediately after treatment, but these are temporary and usually subside within a few days.

Questions and Answers about Gummy Smile
treatment in Stockholm
How Do I Book a Consultation?
You can book a free video consultation by clicking here. It is also possible to book an on-site consultation for SEK 300.
If you have not previously attended a consultation for aesthetic injection treatments, it is required by law to book one. After receiving the necessary information during the consultation, there is a mandatory reflection period of at least two days before the treatment can be performed.
For repeat treatments scheduled more than six months after your last consultation, a new consultation is mandatory; however, no additional reflection period is required.
How Long Do the Results of a Gummy Smile Treatment Last?
The results of a Gummy Smile treatment typically last between 3 to 6 months. After this period, the effect may gradually diminish, and additional treatments may be needed to maintain the desired outcome. Our experts at MyClinic will help you plan a maintenance schedule to ensure long-lasting and optimal results.
When Will I See Results After a Gummy Smile Treatment?
The effects of a Gummy Smile treatment typically begin to appear within 2 to 5 days. The full results are usually visible after approximately 14 days.
Can I Return to Normal Activities After a Gummy Smile Treatment?
Yes, in most cases you can return to your normal activities immediately after a Gummy Smile treatment. The procedure requires little to no downtime. However, to optimize your results, it’s important to follow a few precautions:
What to Avoid After Treatment:
- Intense physical activity: Avoid exercise or strenuous activities for at least 24 hours.
- Touching the treated area: Do not massage or touch the area to prevent the product from spreading.
- Saunas and heat exposure: Avoid saunas, hot baths, and direct sun exposure for the first 48 hours.
- Alcohol consumption: Refrain from drinking alcohol for at least 24 hours, as it can affect blood circulation and increase the risk of bruising.
When Can I Book a Follow-Up for Gummy Smile?
You can book a follow-up appointment 14–18 days after your Gummy Smile treatment. During the follow-up, we will evaluate the results and make any necessary adjustments to ensure the best possible outcome.
What Does Multiple Areas in Wrinkle Treatment Mean?
Multiple areas in wrinkle treatment mean that you can treat more than one area during the same visit. For example, if you initially want to treat a gummy smile, you can also choose to treat other areas at the same time for a more comprehensive result.
Important Information About Specific Treatments
Some treatments are booked as separate services and are not included in the “multiple areas” option. These include:
Masseter Treatment: Targets jaw muscles, often for tension headaches or facial slimming.
Sweat Management: Reduces excessive sweating.
Microtox: Improves radiance, reduces signs of aging, minimizes pores, and treats acne.
Babytox: A lighter version of traditional wrinkle treatment.
Full-Face Treatment: A comprehensive treatment covering multiple facial areas.
Neck Lift/Nefertiti Lift: Tightens the neck and jawline.
These treatments require a separate booking due to their advanced nature and specific dosage requirements.
Is the Treatment Painful?
The treatment is generally not painful. Most patients describe the injections as small pricks or minor discomfort. If needed, a topical anesthetic cream can be applied to make the procedure even more comfortable.
Are Gummy Smile Treatments Safe?
Gummy Smile treatments are generally safe and gentle when performed by experienced and certified practitioners. As with all aesthetic treatments, some mild and temporary side effects may occur, including:
- Mild asymmetry: In rare cases, additional adjustments may be needed to achieve full symmetry.
- Redness or swelling: This can occur at the injection sites and typically resolves within a few hours to a few days.
- Mild soreness: Some individuals may experience minor discomfort in the treated area immediately after the procedure.
