Enhancing Your Smile: DAO Muscle Injection

A captivating smile can be one of our most powerful assets, conveying warmth, confidence, and positivity. However, for some individuals, the natural positioning of their lips may not fully reflect their inner joy. The Depressor Anguli Oris (DAO) muscle, responsible for pulling down the corners of the mouth, can contribute to a perpetually downturned appearance. Fortunately, advancements in cosmetic dermatology offer a solution: Neuromodulator treatment. In this blog post, we'll explore how neuromodulator injections can effectively elevate the corners of the mouth, creating a more youthful and cheerful expression.

Understanding Depressor Anguli Oris Muscle: The Depressor Anguli Oris muscle, also known as the DAO muscle, is located around the corners of the mouth. Its primary function is to depress or lower the corners of the lips. While this muscle plays a crucial role in facial expressions, its overactivity or hyperactivity can lead to a persistent frown or downturned appearance, commonly referred to as a "resting sad face" or "resting bitch face."

Neuromodulator Treatment for Depressor Anguli Oris: Neuromodulators are neurotoxic proteins that temporarily relax muscles by inhibiting the release of acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter responsible for muscle contractions. When strategically injected into the DAO muscle, neuromodulators can reduce its activity, allowing the muscles responsible for lifting the corners of the mouth to exert greater influence, thereby creating a subtle but noticeable lift.

The Procedure: The neuromodulator treatment for elevating the corners of the mouth is a minimally invasive. The entire procedure usually takes less than 15 minutes, and there is minimal to no downtime.The number of injections and the amount of neuromodulator used depend on the individual's anatomy and desired outcome.

Results and Recovery: Following neuromodulator treatment for the DAO muscle, patients may experience some mild redness, or bruising at the injection sites, but these side effects typically resolve within a few days. The full effects of neuromodulators usually become apparent within 1-2 weeks, with results lasting approximately 3-4 months.

As neuromodulators gradually wear off, repeat treatments can maintain the desired lift of the mouth corners.

Benefits of Neuromodulator Treatment for DAO Muscle:

• Non-surgical solution: Neuromodulator injections offer a non-invasive alternative to surgical procedures for enhancing the appearance of the mouth corners.

• Natural-looking results: Neuromodulators can achieve subtle yet impactful changes, enhancing the overall harmony and balance of facial expressions.

• Quick and convenient: The procedure is quick, virtually painless, and requires minimal downtime, making it suitable for individuals with busy lifestyles.
  

Conclusion: A downturned mouth can inadvertently convey sadness or negativity, even when we feel otherwise. Neuromodulator treatment for the Depressor Anguli Oris muscle provides a safe, effective, and minimally invasive solution for elevating the corners of the mouth, restoring a more youthful, cheerful, and approachable appearance.
