Tired of Looking Upset When You're Not?

Downturned Mouth Corners & Perpetual Frowning Treatment in Cleckheaton

Downturned mouth corners, often known as a “perpetual frown,” can make us appear sad, tired, or irritated—even when we’re feeling perfectly fine. This expression is usually the result of an overactive depressor anguli oris muscle, which can pull the corners of the mouth downward, leaving you with a fixed frown.

At SoliDerma, we offer a quick, non-surgical solution for softening these unwanted facial expressions. Our approach uses precisely placed anti-wrinkle injections to lift and relax the area, restoring balance and a more neutral or even subtly lifted mouth appearance.

What Causes a Perpetual Frown?

The depressor anguli oris muscle runs from the jaw to the corners of the mouth and is responsible for pulling the mouth downward when frowning. In some individuals, this muscle becomes chronically overactive, causing the mouth to appear permanently downturned—even at rest.

This can lead to:

A tired or irritated appearance
Unintended negative facial expressions
Loss of facial balance around the lower third of the face

Our Approach to Treating a Perpetual Frown

At SoliDerma, we use targeted muscle-relaxing injections to calm the overactive muscle and lift the corners of the mouth.

In many cases, we may also recommend dermal filler treatment to address surrounding volume loss or creases such as marionette lines, which can further contribute to a frowning appearance.

What to Expect

Before:

During your consultation, we’ll assess your facial muscle activity, skin structure, and goals. We’ll explain whether anti-wrinkle injections alone are sufficient, or if filler may enhance your results.

During Treatment:

We’ll carefully inject the targeted muscle using a fine needle. You may feel a slight pinch, and the whole process takes around 15 minutes.

Aftercare & Results:

You can resume normal activities immediately. You may experience mild redness or swelling, which typically fades quickly. Visible results begin within a few days, with full effects showing in 1–2 weeks.
