Do you ever feel like your smile doesn’t quite match your mood? Droopy corners of the mouth, even when you’re feeling happy, can create an unintentionally sad or tired expression. But what if there was a way to subtly lift your smile, revealing a more positive and youthful appearance? That’s where DAO muscle Botox comes in.
What is DAO Muscle?
The DAO muscle, formally known as the Depressor Anguli Oris, is a small, triangular muscle located on either side of the lower mouth. It originates from the jawbone and inserts into the corners of the lips. As its name suggests, the DAO muscle is responsible for pulling the corners of the mouth downwards, creating a frowning expression.
Here are some key points about the DAO muscle:
- Function: Pulling the corners of the mouth downwards, creates a frowning expression.
- Location: On either side of the lower mouth, originating from the jawbone and inserted into the corners of the lips.
- Overactivity: Overactivity of the DAO muscle can lead to the appearance of downturned mouth corners and marionette lines, even when you’re not frowning.
- Treatments: Botox injections into the DAO muscle can relax it and lift the corners of the mouth, creating a more youthful and positive appearance.
What can DAO Muscle Botox do for me?
By injecting a small amount of Botox into the DAO muscle, Kora Aesthetics’ skilled professionals can temporarily relax it, leading to several benefits:
Lift the corners of your mouth: By relaxing the DAO muscle, Botox can create a more lifted and youthful appearance, eliminating the persistent frown-like expression and making you appear happier even when relaxed.
Reduce marionette lines: The lines running from the corners of your mouth down to your chin, often referred to as marionette lines, can be caused by the pull of the DAO muscle. DAO Muscle Botox can significantly reduce the appearance of these lines, giving your face a smoother and more youthful look
Improve jawline definition: An overactive DAO muscle can contribute to a less defined jawline. By relaxing this muscle, Botox can help create a more sculpted and balanced appearance in the lower face.
Enhance overall facial harmony: Addressing the effects of the DAO muscle can lead to a more balanced and harmonious appearance in your entire face. This can boost your confidence and self-esteem, allowing your inner beauty to shine through.
