DOWNTURNED MOUTH
Anti-wrinkle injections can be used to relax the DAO muscles, helping to soften their downward pull. This allows the opposing muscles to lift the mouth corners slightly, creating a more balanced, approachable, and refreshed appearance.
Results typically start to become noticeable within 3–5 days, with final results visible at around 14 days. The effect generally lasts for around 3–4 months, though this may vary depending on individual muscle strength and anatomy.
At Derma Mayfair, all treatments are performed by a qualified doctor with advanced understanding of facial anatomy to ensure safe, natural-looking results.
Please note: Botulinum toxin (commonly known by the brand name Botox®) is a prescription-only medicine. A full medical and psychosocial assessment is required to determine clinical appropriateness before treatment can be performed. Treatments are only provided where there is a clear therapeutic benefit, and we reserve the right to decline treatment if it is not deemed clinically suitable.
This is usually due to overactive depressor anguli oris (DAO) muscles pulling the mouth corners downward. Genetics, ageing, and habitual facial expressions can all contribute.
By relaxing the DAO muscles, the downward pull is reduced. This allows the natural lifting muscles of the face to act unopposed, giving a subtle upward turn to the mouth corners.
Results typically start to become noticeable within 3–5 days, with the final effect visible at around 14 days.
On average, results last 3–4 months. Repeat treatments can help maintain the effect.
The improvement is usually subtle — you may notice the mouth corners look more neutral and less “pulled down,” but the result will not be as dramatic as surgical correction.
Yes. Botulinum toxin has been used for many years in both cosmetic and medical practice. When performed by a qualified doctor, it is considered safe. Temporary side effects such as redness, swelling, or minor bruising may occur. Any potential risks and side effects will be fully discussed during your consultation.
Most clients find the treatment quick and very tolerable, describing only a brief pinprick sensation. No downtime is required.
Yes. It is often combined with dermal fillers in the marionette or nasolabial folds to further improve lower-face rejuvenation. It can also be paired with masseter slimming or chin treatments for overall balance.

Downturned corners of the mouth can give the face a naturally sad, tired, or stern appearance, even when you are not feeling that way. This effect is usually caused by the action of the depressor anguli oris (DAO) muscles, which pull the corners of the mouth downward.
Over time, these muscles can create a heavier look to the lower face and may contribute to the formation of marionette lines.
