Depressor Angle Oris

Lift downturned corners of the mouth and soften a sad or tense expression with DAO treatment.

This treatment relaxes the depressor anguli oris muscle, which pulls the corners of the mouth downward. By gently releasing this tension, the mouth appears naturally uplifted, restoring a softer, more positive resting expression.

Ideal for those concerned with marionette shadows or a downturned mouth that doesn’t reflect how they feel.

Treatment time: 5–10 mins. No downtime.
Comfort: Minimal discomfort. Numbing available.
Results: Begin to appear in 3–5 days, peak at 10–14 days.
Maintenance: Every 3–4 months, depending on individual response.
