DAO Botox

Service Description

Over time, the muscles that pull down the corners of the mouth can become overactive, leading to a downturned or sad-looking resting face. This is often due to the Depressor Anguli Oris (DAO) muscle, which pulls the mouth corners downward with facial expressions or at rest. ⸻ What is the DAO Muscle? The Depressor Anguli Oris (DAO) is a paired muscle on either side of your chin that contracts to pull the corners of your mouth down. When it’s overactive, it can create: ✅ A downturned or “sad” mouth appearance ✅ Marionette lines (creases running from the corners of the mouth downward) ✅ A tired, aged, or unhappy resting expression—even when you feel fine! ⸻ How Botox® Helps Carefully placed Botox® (or similar anti-wrinkle injections) relaxes the DAO muscle just enough to reduce its downward pull. This allows the natural lift from other facial muscles to balance the mouth, resulting in: ✅ Subtly lifted corners of the mouth ✅ A softer, more approachable, happy-looking expression ✅ Reduced marionette lines and creases ✅ Prevention of deepening lines over time ⸻ Benefits of DAO Botox® ✨ Quick, non-surgical treatment (typically 10–15 minutes) ✨ Minimal discomfort ✨ No downtime—you can return to normal activities straight away ✨ Natural-looking results without changing your personality ✨ Results last 3–4 months, with easy maintenance treatments ⸻ Is DAO Botox® Right for Me? This treatment is perfect if you want to: ✅ Improve a downturned mouth or sad resting face ✅ Look fresher and more approachable ✅ Soften marionette lines without dermal fillers or surgery ✅ Maintain natural movement and expression ⸻ £150 or £50 as add on Treament
