The lower face often shows the earliest signs of aging, with common concerns such as downturned mouth corners, dimpling or "orange peel" texture on the chin, and a fatigued or tense appearance. Strategic placement of neurotoxins like Xeomin and Jeuveau in specific muscles of the lower face, such as the depressor anguli oris (DAO) and mentalis, can provide noticeable improvements, preventing and softening these signs of aging.
Targeting the Lower Face with Neurotoxins
Neurotoxins work by relaxing overactive muscles, creating a smoother and more lifted appearance. In the lower face, they can effectively:
Lift the corners of the mouth: The DAOs are responsible for pulling the corners
of the mouth downward. Relaxing these muscles with neurotoxins can lift the
mouth corners, giving a more youthful and approachable look.
Relax the chin: The mentalis muscle, when overactive, can cause a puckered,
tense chin appearance. Neurotoxins help smooth out this area, providing a more
relaxed and softened profile.
Treat the "orange peel" effect: Dimples and an uneven texture on the chin can result from excessive mentalis activity. Neurotoxin treatment smooths this texture, restoring a more even, youthful skin surface.
What to Expect with Neurotoxins in the Lower Face
PRISM Aesthetics frequently uses Xeomin and Jeuveau to address these areas.
These advanced neurotoxins provide natural-looking results while maintaining facial
expressions.
However, because the muscles in the lower face are heavily involved in daily
expressions, such as speaking, eating, and smiling, the effects typically last around 8
weeks. This shorter duration is expected for neurotoxins in high-movement areas. Regular treatments can help maintain results and further prevent the deepening of expression lines over time.
Pairing Neurotoxins with Fillers for Optimal Results
While neurotoxins relax dynamic muscles, dermal fillers can complement these
treatments by adding volume and support to the lower face. Fillers are especially
effective in:
Supporting downturned mouth corners: By adding structure to the oral
commissures (corners of the mouth) and marionette lines, fillers can enhance the lifting effect achieved with neurotoxins.
Restoring volume to the chin: Filler in the chin provides structure and balance
to the lower face, complementing the smoothing effects of mentalis muscle
relaxation.
Smoothing marionette lines: The combination of neurotoxins and fillers can
address the muscle activity and volume loss contributing to these lines.
Together, neurotoxins and fillers create a more harmonious and rejuvenated
appearance by targeting multiple aspects of the aging process.
