Depressor Anguli Oris (DAO) Botox is a non-surgical cosmetic treatment designed to correct a downturned mouth by targeting the DAO muscles, which pull the corners of the mouth downward. The procedure involves injecting small amounts of botulinum toxin into these muscles, temporarily relaxing them. This results in a more uplifted and balanced mouth, improving the overall facial expression. The treatment is quick, typically 10-15 minutes, and offers natural-looking results that last several months, making it a popular choice for those seeking to enhance their smile and facial aesthetics.

Depressor Anguli Oris (DAO) Botox treatment works by targeting the DAO muscles responsible for pulling down the corners of the mouth. During the procedure, a qualified aesthetic practitioner injects botulinum toxin into specific points of the DAO muscles. The botulinum toxin temporarily blocks nerve signals to these muscles, preventing them from contracting excessively. This relaxation lifts the corners of the mouth, creating a more balanced and positive expression. The treatment is quick, generally taking 10-15 minutes, with minimal discomfort. Results typically appear within a few days and last several months, providing a more aesthetically pleasing mouth.

Depressor Anguli Oris (DAO) Botox is suitable for adults looking to correct a downturned mouth and achieve a more positive and balanced expression. It is ideal for individuals with overactive DAO muscles or those seeking to improve their facial aesthetics. Candidates should have good overall health and realistic expectations about the treatment's outcomes. Both men and women can benefit from this procedure. However, pregnant or breastfeeding women, individuals with certain neuromuscular disorders, or those allergic to botulinum toxin should avoid Botox treatments. Consulting with a qualified aesthetic practitioner ensures the treatment's safety and effectiveness.
