What Causes a Gummy Smile?
A gummy smile — medically referred to as excessive gingival display — is most commonly caused by hyperactivity of the levator labii superioris alaeque nasi (LLSAN) muscle. This muscle, when overly active, pulls the upper lip significantly higher than the ideal 2–3 mm above the upper teeth during smiling, exposing an excess of gum tissue that many clients find aesthetically distracting. The condition can also be influenced by a short upper lip, excess gum tissue (gingival hypertrophy), or the vertical position of the upper jaw.
A neuromodulator approach may be considered when muscle activity contributes to a gummy smile. Your Skin Diva injector assesses the LLSAN muscle area, reviews treatment suitability, and determines dosing following an individualized assessment.

What to Expect
How to Prepare
Avoid alcohol, aspirin, and blood-thinning supplements for 48 hours before your appointment. Arrive with clean skin. No special preparation is needed — this is one of our simplest and quickest treatments.
During Treatment
Your injector identifies the precise injection point at the LLSAN muscle and administers 2–4 units bilaterally. The injection is completed in seconds with minimal sensation — most clients are surprised by how quick and comfortable it is.
Recovery
There is no downtime. You can smile, talk, eat, and drink normally immediately after treatment. Avoid rubbing the area or performing intense exercise for 4 hours post-treatment.
Results
Results begin to emerge within 5–7 days as the LLSAN muscle gradually relaxes. The full effect is visible at 14 days — your smile looks naturally balanced, with the upper lip remaining in a more aesthetically proportionate position.
Prolonging Your Results
Gummy smile Botox typically lasts 3–4 months. Because the lip muscles are used constantly during daily expression, the neurotoxin metabolizes slightly faster here. Regular maintenance maintains your beautifully balanced smile consistently.
