Puppet Line Tox

Service Description

Are you tired of looking sad, cross, or upset even when you’re in a great mood? Marionette lines—often called "puppet lines"—are the creases that run from the corners of the mouth down toward the jawline. While these are often treated with filler, using anti-wrinkle "Tox" is a secret weapon for those whose lines are caused by overactive muscles pulling the face downward. +1 At LAH Skincare & Aesthetics, we target the root cause of the "sad mouth" to give you a natural, uplifted, and more approachable expression. How "Tox" Fixes the Frown The corners of your mouth are controlled by a tug-of-war between muscles. The main culprit for puppet lines is the DAO (Depressor Anguli Oris) muscle, which acts like a biological anchor, pulling the corners of your lips toward your chin. Release the Tension: By precisely injecting a small amount of anti-wrinkle treatment into the DAO muscle, we "cut the anchor." The Natural Lift: Once the downward-pulling muscle is relaxed, the upward-pulling muscles (the "smile" muscles) take over, naturally lifting the corners of the mouth back to a neutral, happy position. Smoothing the Crease: By reducing the constant physical folding of the skin in this area, we prevent the puppet lines from becoming deeper and more permanent.
