Anti-wrinkle injections For Lifting the lateral corners of the mouth

The DAO treatment, also known as Depressor Anguli Oris treatment, is a specialised procedure offered at The Skin Works to address the downturned corners of the mouth. 

By targeting the depressor muscles that pull the corners of the mouth downward, the treatment helps to lift and rejuvenate the appearance of the mouth area. It can effectively improve the look of a sad or downturned mouth, creating a more refreshed and youthful appearance.

The treatment

During the DAO treatment, Dr. Sarah Davies will strategically administer anti-wrinkle injections into the depressor muscles around the corners of the mouth. These injections work by relaxing the muscles responsible for pulling the corners of the mouth downward, allowing the opposing muscles to exert a lifting effect. This results in an upward rotation of the corners of the mouth, giving a more positive and youthful appearance.

The procedure is quick and minimally invasive, usually taking just a few minutes to complete. Dr. Sarah Davies will use a fine needle to administer the injections with precision, targeting the specific muscles involved in the downward pull. The treatment is generally well-tolerated, and any discomfort experienced is minimal.

The results of the DAO treatment become noticeable gradually within a few days to a week after the procedure. You can expect to see an improvement in the downturned corners of your mouth, with a more lifted and balanced appearance. The effects typically last for several weeks to a few months, after which additional treatments may be required to maintain the desired results.

There is typically no downtime associated with the DAO treatment. You can resume your normal activities immediately after the procedure. Some individuals may experience mild redness or swelling at the injection sites, but these effects are temporary and generally resolve quickly.

Discomfort during the DAO treatment is minimal. The injections are performed using a fine needle, and Dr. Sarah Davies may apply a topical numbing cream to ensure your comfort during the treatment. Most individuals tolerate the procedure well with minimal pain.

It's important to have a consultation with Dr. Sarah Davies to discuss your specific concerns and determine if the DAO treatment is suitable for you. During the consultation, she will evaluate your facial anatomy, discuss your goals, and provide personalised recommendations based on your unique needs.

Dr Sarah is friendly, reassuring and extremely professional. I have visited her twice for Botox into my masseter muscles for jaw clenching with great effect. I would have no hesitation reccomending The Skin Works. The whole experience could not have been better.

I can not wait to see Dr Sarah again! She’s not only very professional, honest and trustworthy but so nice and friendly. She takes time to listen, gives you honest advice and makes you feel good.My first botox with someone else was in Chipping Norton, it didn’t work. Second one in Witney, the lady who runs the clinic made my eyes and face looking worse than before I’ve had botox, I was wearing sunglasses for 3 weeks, I looked awful and decided to never ever have botox again. Then I found Dr Sarah and thought to give it a go last more time. Wow, she did it. She is brilliant.! She listen and she understands. She did it! It worked perfectly! I didn’t have puffy and swollen eyes, my eyelids didn’t drop, she made my face looking younger and natural. My problem is my very strong facial muscles and she just gave me the right amount in the right places for it to work without any side effects.I very much recommend Dr Sarah and totally trust her with my face. Having Botox it’s a very expensive treat for me and finding her I totally feel like it’s been worth every penny I sacrificed for this treatment. I feel great and mostly natural. My friends think I’m glowing because of this and that but little they know I’ve had botox with Dr Sarah.

A family member had recommended I speak to Dr Sarah Davies regarding Botox Treatments for Chronic Migraine Suffers. I have been plagued by weekly migraines for almost 7 years, impacting every aspect of my life. I have seen many consultants/specialists over the years and have taken every drug available to acute migraine suffers. Nothing has worked.I must admit that I was very nervous about ever having Botox but Sarah discussed the treatment in full and I went ahead with it last month. I was so surprised how painless it was and how much at ease I felt. It has almost been 3 weeks since the treatment and I have not had a single migraine which is incredible. I normally have 2-4 per week.Interestingly last week I had a few days of international travel, 20 hour days, stressful meetings which would normally trigger a migraine but I was fine. To anyone that has been in a similar situation to me with chronic migraines, I would absolutely recommend having this treatment.

I’m 27 and was looking for ‘baby botox’. I have fine lines around eyes and on my forehead.I’ve seen Sarah twice now for Botox in three areas. I’m so pleased with my results. She gave me exactly what I wanted – a slight brow lift and my crows feet completely disappeared!She is a lovely professional who’s really easy to talk to and put me at ease from the get go. It was very important to me that I had a trained medical professional performing this treatment.Her practice is in a gorgeous rural location with ample free parking which is a bonus too.5* results and service, would definitely recommend!

Well what a find! Having recently moved from Dubai, being used to some of the best aesthetic doctors in the world, I was looking for someone to continue a relationship with here in England. Sarah has proved a delight in all aspects of the clinic that she offers. Careful consultation and immaculate attention to detail Sarah is an aesthetic doctor with real quality. Pleased to recommend and happy to refer.
