The Depressor Anguli Oris (DAO) muscle is located at the lower corners of the mouth and is responsible for pulling the mouth downward. Over time, due to ageing, genetics, or repetitive facial movements, this muscle can cause the corners of the mouth to droop, leading to a permanently sad, frowning, or tired look.
Treating the DAO muscle with anti-wrinkle injections can relax the muscle, preventing excessive downward pulling and allowing the corners of the mouth to appear more lifted and youthful.
