A downturned mouth can create a tired or tense appearance, often caused by overactive depressor muscles in the lower face.
At House of Glo, our medically-led Downturned Mouth treatment gently relaxes these muscles to subtly lift and rebalance your smile. Led by Nurse Julie, each treatment is delivered with clinical precision, warmth and a personalised approach - restoring softness, harmony and a naturally uplifted expression that still feels completely you.
Downturned Mouth treatment is a non-surgical procedure that uses small, precisely placed anti-wrinkle injections to relax the muscles that pull the corners of the mouth downward. When these muscles are overactive, they can create a naturally downturned or tense appearance, even when your face is at rest. By gently softening this muscle activity, the corners of the mouth can lift slightly, restoring a softer, more balanced and refreshed expression.
Downturned Mouth treatment is designed to gently rebalance the lower face by relaxing the muscles that pull the corners of the mouth downward. The result is a softer, more uplifted and naturally refreshed expression.

At House of Glo, your safety is always the priority. As a medically-led clinic, Nurse Julie carries out a thorough consultation to assess your facial anatomy, muscle movement and medical history before recommending treatment. The lower face contains important muscles for speech and expression, so precise placement and conservative dosing are essential. When delivered with clinical expertise and attention to detail, the treatment is quick, minimally uncomfortable and involves little to no downtime.
Your appointment begins with a detailed consultation with Nurse Julie. We’ll discuss your concerns, assess how your mouth sits at rest and moves when you speak or smile, and determine whether muscle overactivity is contributing to a downturned appearance.
The treatment itself is quick and targeted. Small amounts of anti-wrinkle medication are precisely placed into the depressor anguli oris (DAO) muscles, which are responsible for pulling the mouth corners downward. The procedure usually takes just a few minutes and involves minimal discomfort.
You can return to most daily activities immediately after your appointment. You’ll be advised to:
These simple steps help ensure smooth, balanced results.
You may begin to notice a gentle lift within 3–7 days, with full results visible at around two weeks. The corners of the mouth will appear softer and slightly elevated, creating a more relaxed and refreshed expression.
The lower face is delicate and expressive - which means expertise, precision and clinical judgement truly matter. At House of Glo, every treatment is delivered with care, warmth and a medically-led approach you can trust. Here’s why patients trust us:
After your consultation and assessment with Nurse Julie, the procedure itself takes only a few minutes. Small, precisely placed amounts of anti-wrinkle medication are administered into the targeted muscles that pull the mouth corners downward, and you can return to your normal daily activities shortly afterwards.
While the treatment is carried out in a single session, results develop gradually over 3–14 days. A review appointment may be offered if needed, to ensure the lift is subtle, balanced and exactly as intended.

We look forward to welcoming you to the clinic.
