What Is the DAO Muscle?
The Depressor Anguli Oris (DAO) is the small muscle at the corners of your mouth that pulls the lips downward.
Overactivity of the DAO can result in:
Corners of the mouth turning downward
A “sad,” tired, or frowning appearance, even when relaxed
Wrinkles or creases forming around the mouth
This muscle is often targeted in Botox or Xeomin treatments to lift the mouth corners and restore a friendlier, more youthful facial expression.
How Botox/Xeomin Works on the DAO Muscle
Botox and Xeomin work by relaxing the DAO muscle, preventing excessive downward pull at the corners of your mouth.
we’re here to answer all your questions
What is the DAO muscle and why treat it?
The DAO (Depressor Anguli Oris) is the small muscle at the corners of your mouth that pulls them downward. Overactivity can create a “sad” or tired appearance. Botox or Xeomin relaxes this muscle, lifting the corners of the mouth for a natural, more youthful expression
How many units of Botox/Xeomin are needed for DAO treatment?
Most patients require 2–4 units per side, but the exact dosage depends on your facial anatomy and desired results. Dr Diaz-Yoserev customizes the treatment for subtle, balanced outcomes.
How long do the results last?
DAO Botox/Xeomin results typically last 3–4 months, gradually fading over time. Regular treatments can maintain the lifted, youthful appearance.
Will DAO treatment affect my smile or facial expressions?
No. At RDYMD, our precise technique ensures your smile and facial expressions remain natural, while gently lifting the corners of the mouth for a refreshed appearance.
