How Is Gummy Smile Treatment Performed?
Before your treatment at our clinic, we take the time to thoroughly understand your aesthetic aspirations, concerns, and requirements to shape the expected results of your procedure. We will examine your smile specifically to strategize how we can minimize gum visibility for a more confident expression. By using BOTOX, targeted injections are administered to enhance your smile effectively. The process is swift, lasts about 15 minutes, and typically involves no significant downtime. Some patients might notice minor swelling, redness, or bruising, which are common reactions that naturally diminish over time. Achieving your perfect smile might necessitate more than one session, depending on the extent of your goals. Rest assured, our dedicated team will outline all necessary details and expectations prior to starting your journey toward a smile that truly reflects your inner joy.

Starr MedSpa Reviews
An amazing, amazing med spa! They are so welcoming, accommodating, honest and overall provide an exceptional experience no matter what type of service you are receiving—tox, filler, slim shots, peels, and lasers. I 100% trust Tenley and the team she has built around her! The slim shots work just have to trust the process and Tenley and her team are so open to answering questions quickly if I ever had any!
So thankful for Starr Medspa in helping me reach my health and wellness goals! So helpful in getting off stubborn stomach weight, or all overall toning up. I would recommend them to anyone looking to get the help they need for their aesthetic goals.
The GLP-1 shot has been a game changer for me. I am 4 yrs into my perimenopause and my weight gain was bad. Luckily I have healthy eating and gym habits but my body decided those are no longer “good enough”. After a lot of research on glp-1s I decided to give it a try with Starr MedSpa (Studio City). The team is very informative, kind and SO GENTLE with the shots. When I had minor side effects they adjusted my dose and now I’m back on track. I have lost 5 lbs in 1 month (this is a normal- healthy way to lose weight) and I feel really great on this medication!
I love coming to Starr MedSpa! It is incredibly beautiful and such a relaxing place. I've been going to nurse Alii to get my slim shot for the past couple months and omggg the results have been amazing!!! I've lost 15lbs within 3 months. I've had no side effects, everything has been great! Nurse Alii has been wonderful and I always feel comfortable in her care.
I just had my follow up visit after doing my first Chemical peel. I did the orange peel and it was so convenient to have it shipped to my home. I live in Nashville TN and since you need to leave it on for several hours this was so easy. Alii was wonderful getting me started and communicating when I had questions throughout the process. My skin is looking fabulous and I’m excited to see how it continues to improve over the next couple weeks. Thank you for a great experience.

Gummy Smile Treatment FAQ
Will the treatment affect how I talk or eat?
When performed by an experienced provider, gummy smile treatment with Botox should not impact your ability to talk, eat, or make facial expressions. The goal is to relax the upper lip muscles just enough to reduce excessive gum exposure without interfering with normal lip movement.
Is gummy smile treatment with Botox painful?
The treatment involves a few small injections; most patients describe the sensation as a slight pinch or mild discomfort. The procedure is quick, typically lasting around 10 – 15 minutes, and no anesthesia is required. Any discomfort usually subsides shortly after the treatment.
Can I combine gummy smile treatment with other cosmetic procedures?
Yes, gummy smile treatment can be combined with other nonsurgical aesthetic treatments, such as dissolving fillers, SkinPen Microneedling, or IPL laser treatments. Combining treatments can help you achieve a more comprehensive facial enhancement. Discuss your goals with your provider at Starr MedSpa for a customized plan.
