Service Description

The Depressor Anguli Oris muscle, also known as the facial DAO, is responsible for creating a sad or frowning expression by pulling down the corners of the mouth. If you are bothered by the appearance of a sad mouth, Botox and Dermal Filler injections are two popular options for reducing the appearance of the DAO muscle and achieving a more youthful and lifted appearance. Learn about the benefits of Botox and filler injections for reducing the appearance of the facial DAO muscle, including how they work and what to expect during the procedure. Restore facial harmony and banish sad mouth corners Considering the various factors that may be involved, The Cosmetic Skin Clinic personalised approach typically involves a blend of treatments to elevate the corners of the mouth. To achieve this, we may strategically utilise Botox and Dermal Filler – on separate treatment days – to address volume loss, wrinkles, lines, and hyperactive muscle stimulation that contribute to the appearance of a sad mouth. This is part of our tailored approach. How Botox Works for Treating Sad Mouth or Facial DAO Botox is a cosmetic treatment that blocks the signals from the nerves that cause facial muscles to contract, relaxing the muscle and reducing the appearance of wrinkles. What to expect during your Botox for sad mouth treatment? To treat the DAO muscle, Botox is injected directly into the muscle, causing it to relax and reducing the downward pull on the corners of the mouth. This results in a more lifted and youthful appearance, with a less sad or angry expression.
