What is a Sad Smile?
A sad smile, also known as a “downturned mouth,” is when the corners of the mouth naturally point downward, even when at rest. This can give the face a sad or tired appearance, which some people find undesirable.
How Does relaxer Work for a Sad Smile?
relaxer is an effective treatment for correcting a sad smile by relaxing the DAO muscles. By injecting small amounts of the toxin into these muscles, the downward pull on the corners of the mouth is reduced, allowing the mouth to assume a more neutral or slightly upturned position.
Benefits of Treating a Sad Smile with relaxer
- Non-Surgical: The procedure is minimally invasive, requiring no surgery, incisions, or recovery time, making it a safer alternative to surgical options.
- Quick and Convenient: The treatment typically takes about 10 to 15 minutes, with immediate results and minimal downtime.
- Subtle and Natural-Looking Results: The procedure provides a natural improvement in facial expression, enhancing the overall appearance without dramatic changes.
