Wrinkle Reduction
A downturned mouth can subtly change your facial expression, making you appear sad or tired. Downturned Mouth treatment offers a simple and effective solution to gently lift the mouth corners, creating a more youthful and positive appearance.
What is Downturned Mouth Treatment?
This non-surgical treatment uses small amounts of muscle relaxants to soften the muscles responsible for pulling the corners of the mouth downward (the DAO muscle). This results in a subtle lift and a more relaxed, friendly-looking expression.
What to Expect from Downturned Mouth Treatment
Reduces the appearance of sagging around the mouth corners.
Improves your smile, fostering a more positive appearance.
Creates a softer, more approachable resting facial expression.
How Does Downturned Mouth Treatment Work?
The treatment targets the depressor anguli oris (DAO) muscle, which pulls down the corners of the mouth. By carefully injecting muscle relaxants, the downward pull of this muscle is reduced, allowing the corners to lift for a more youthful and pleasant appearance gently.
