Downwards Smile

Service Description

Do you feel like your resting facial expression looks sad, grumpy, or tired, even when you’re in a great mood? This is often caused by the DAO (Depressor Anguli Oris) muscles, which pull the corners of the mouth downward. As we age, these muscles can become overactive, creating a permanent "downturned" appearance and contributing to the formation of marionette lines. +1 At LAH Skincare & Aesthetics, we use precise Anti-Wrinkle Injections to relax these pulling muscles, allowing the corners of your mouth to return to a more neutral, uplifted, and youthful position. How the "Mouth Lift" Works By targeting the DAO muscles with a small, strategic dose of Botulinum Toxin, we release the downward tension on your smile. Natural Lift: The corners of the mouth are allowed to rest in a more horizontal or slightly upward position. Softens Marionette Lines: By reducing the constant downward pull, we help prevent the deepening of lines running from the mouth to the chin. Refreshed Expression: It changes a "sad" resting face into one that looks more approachable and refreshed. Non-Invasive: A fantastic alternative or supplement to dermal fillers for those wanting to improve the lower face contour. The LAH Precision Technique The lower face requires expert anatomical knowledge to ensure your smile remains perfectly symmetrical. Lauren uses a delicate approach to ensure that only the "depressor" muscles are relaxed, leaving your "elevator" muscles (the ones that help you laugh and smile) fully functional and natural.
