Marionette lines are wrinkles that run from the sides of the mouth down to the chin, which commonly occur due to aging as the skin loses collagen and elastin. Sun exposure can also cause wrinkles in this area to look more pronounced. The depressor anguli oris muscle can further be overused and pull down the corners of the mouth too much, contributing to marionette lines. These lines can give you a sad look that may not reflect how you actually feel. With this in mind, lots of people ask, “Can you get BOTOX® for frown lines around the mouth?” DAO BOTOX® at Portland’s Aesthetic Medicine—which some people also refer to as BOTOX® for marionette lines or BOTOX® for downturned mouth—involves BOTOX® around the mouth to lift a downturned mouth and make your facial expression look less sad or angry.
For DAO BOTOX®, the botulinum toxin injectable is used to relax the muscles that are specifically responsible for causing the downturned corners of the mouth. DAO BOTOX® for wrinkles around the mouth can be highly e]ective for dynamic wrinkles in this area. You can also get BOTOX® around the lips to reduce smoker’s lines or vertical wrinkles around the mouth that are caused by pursing the lips.
Some patients wonder whether nasolabial folds BOTOX® is e]ective. BOTOX® for nasolabial folds can sometimes improve these wrinkles between the sides of the nose and mouth if they are caused or worsened by muscle movements, but fillers are a more commonly used treatment method for these types of wrinkles.

Along with DAO BOTOX® to lift the corners of the mouth or downturned mouth BOTOX®, there are many other cosmetic procedures BOTOX® can be used for.
We only o]er cosmetic procedures with BOTOX®, but there are also medical uses available elsewhere. For example, underarm BOTOX® helps you to improve hyperhidrosis by reducing sweat on the armpit areas and BOTOX® for migraines reduces the frequency and severity of migraines.
BOTOX® Cosmetic has a one-of-a-kind formulation and only BOTOX® Cosmetic is FDA-approved to temporarily make moderate to severe frown lines, crow’s feet, and forehead lines look better in adults.
A combination of factors can cause facial lines. It’s not just about the cellular changes that may occur, or reduction of collagen, or damage caused by free radicals from the sun and the environment.
Repeated muscle contractions from frowning, squinting, or raising eyebrows cause skin to furrow and fold, gradually resulting in the formation of facial lines. BOTOX® Cosmetic works beneath the surface and temporarily reduces the underlying muscle activity that causes moderate to severe frown lines, crow’s feet and forehead lines in adults – to help them look visibly smoother.

When you raise your eyebrows, the muscles on your forehead contract, causing skin to furrow and fold. Your specialist will inject these muscles to help make forehead lines temporarily look better.
Some patients receiving BOTOX Injections Portland report the injections feel like a pinch. You may begin to notice a visible smoothing of frown lines, crow’s feet and forehead lines within 24 to 48 hours, with results lasting up to 4 months for moderate to severe frown lines in adults.
