Why do mouth corners turn down?
What causes it?
Downturned mouth corners are often caused by strong DAO muscles, the depressor anguli oris muscles. When these muscles pull down more than the lifting muscles pull up, the corners can sit lower at rest.
Why does it bother people?
A downturned resting mouth can make you look sad, tired, or stern even when you feel fine. Many people notice it most in photos, video calls, and bright lighting.
How It Works
Targeted Action
Small doses of anti wrinkle product are placed into the DAO muscles using a fine needle for precise placement.
Muscle Relaxation
As the DAO muscles relax, they pull down with less force. This allows the mouth corners to sit closer to neutral at rest.
Visible Results
Many people notice changes within 2 to 7 days, with results commonly visible within about a week.

What is a downturned mouth?

What causes downturned mouth corners?
It is commonly caused by an overactive DAO muscle, the depressor anguli oris, which pulls the mouth corners downward.
How do anti wrinkle injections treat a downturned mouth?
Anti wrinkle injections relax the DAO so it pulls down with less force, allowing the corners to sit closer to neutral.
Will this affect my smile or speech?
When placed correctly, the goal is a subtle change at rest without affecting speech or the way your smile moves.

Most people notice changes within 2 to 7 days, with full results usually visible by 10 to 14 days.
