Ever feel like your smile shows a bit too much gum?
That’s what we call a gummy smile – or as we like to nickname it, Jimmy Smile.
It happens when the muscles above your upper lip are a little too active and lift the lip higher than you’d like.
Nothing dangerous, just something that can make people feel a bit self-conscious – especially in photos or when laughing.
The good news? Botox can help, and in tiny, precise doses.
We inject it into the muscles that lift the upper lip to gently relax them – so your smile still looks natural, just a little more balanced.
The treatment takes around 10 minutes, no downtime, and you’ll start seeing results in 3–5 days, lasting up to 3–4 months.
Fun fact: one of the first people I treated for Jimmy Smile was an actress who’d always been hiding her smile – until Botox gave her the confidence to show it off.
Now, her smile is her signature.
