Botulinum toxin preparations help lift the corners of the lips

The drooping of the corners of the mouth is typical for every person, as one of the manifestations of negative emotions: grief, sadness, discontent, and so on.

If the corners of a person's lips are constantly lowered, this indicates hyperactivity of the muscle that lowers the corner of the mouth – musculus depressor anguli oris.

The action of preparations based on botulinum toxin is directed precisely at the elimination of muscle hyperactivity. The introduction of such an agent into the tissue of the muscle that lowers the corner of the mouth allows you to relieve its tension and return the skin to its previous position, while the corners of the mouth rise and return the face to a friendly, pleasant and young look.
