DAO Botox Reviews

See what our patients are saying about crows feet botox.

  • Joey Srnicek
    "Botox with LaserAway leaves me looking rested and most of the deep lines are gone. I wish I had started earlier so I wouldn’t have even started the lines. Remember it’s easier to keep them away then it is to get rid of them after they are set in. If you are thinking about it then start ASAP and keep that smile wrinkle free."
    Joey Srnicek, @tankjoey
  • Lynnie Marie
    "Thank you LaserAway for always taking care of me! I’ve been getting Botox injections routinely since my early 20s to treat and prevent fine lines and wrinkles. My skin looks better now in my early 30s than it did 10 years ago all thanks to this amazing treatment."
    Lynnie Marie, @misslynniemarie
  • Amanda Jean
    "I started getting botox in my mid 20s from LaserAway to be preventative and it shows. After leaving I always feel so much better about myself."
    Amanda Jean, @theamandajean
  • Ryan Lasure
    "My favorite place to get my Botox treatment is LaserAway. They're easy to work with, friendly, and efficient with your time."
    Ryan Lasure, @mrseventytwo
  • Runa Lucienne
    "You can go anywhere but LaserAway is the only place I trust for injectables. I’m convinced it’s a huge part of why I’ve been aging backwards!"
    Runa Lucienne, @runalucienne

The DAO Botox Journey

How it works, how to prep, and what to expect—consider this your roadmap to a more lifted, refreshed-looking smile.

Your DAO Botox Appointment

Your DAO Botox appointment at LaserAway is designed to be quick, precise, and tailored to your facial structure.

During treatment, Botox is injected into the DAO muscle at targeted points near the corners of the mouth using a fine needle. Most patients describe the sensation as a small pinch, and sessions typically take about 10–15 minutes.

After treatment, temporary redness, swelling, or small bumps may appear but typically fade within about 30 minutes.

You’ll start to notice improvements within 2–3 days, with full results appearing around two weeks. Results typically last two to four months, depending on your metabolism and dosage.

How to Prepare for DAO Botox

Proper preparation helps DAO Botox deliver the best results.

Before your appointment, your clinician will review your medical history and treatment goals to ensure Botox is right for you. Avoid alcohol and certain medications that may increase bruising, as directed by your provider.

After treatment, following aftercare instructions helps support optimal results and reduces the risk of irritation.

What To Do Before Your Appointment What To Do After Your Appointment

How DAO Botox Works

Botox works by temporarily blocking nerve signals to the muscles responsible for movement. When the DAO muscle relaxes, the downward pull at the corners of the mouth is reduced, creating a more lifted appearance.

Learn about LaserAway's unique advantages »

  • Are LaserAway providers licensed and experienced?

    At LaserAway, every treatment is performed by a licensed medical professional—a registered nurse (RN), nurse practitioner (NP), or physician associate (PA)—who's completed one of the most rigorous and comprehensive training programs in aesthetic dermatology. Our clinical staff are true specialists, backed by a team of 25+ board-certified dermatologists and overseen by our Chief Medical Officer to ensure your care meets the highest medical standards.

Our team is made up of registered nurses, nurse practitioners, and physician associates, and all of our clinics are overseen by board-certified dermatologists. We never use aestheticians, cosmetologists, or technicians to perform our services, and our team completes one of the most comprehensive clinical training programs in the industry. Simply put: we hold ourselves to a higher medical standard—because you deserve nothing less. Understand our medical standards »

  • How long does DAO Botox last?

    DAO Botox typically lasts about 3 to 4 months, though timing can vary based on your metabolism, dose, and treatment plan. This follows LaserAway’s general neuromodulator timeline.

  • When will I see results from DAO Botox?

    DAO Botox usually starts working in about 2 to 3 days, with peak results around 2 weeks.

  • Does DAO Botox help marionette lines?

    DAO Botox can help improve the look of marionette lines when downward pull from the DAO muscle is part of the issue. It works best when the goal is to soften a sad or downturned expression, not replace lost volume.

  • How does DAO Botox work?

    DAO Botox works by relaxing the muscle that pulls the corners of the mouth downward. When that pull is softened, the mouth can look more relaxed and less downturned.

  • How many units of Botox do you need for DAO?

    At LaserAway, the suggested max dose for DAO is 8 units total, or 4 units per side, with one injection point per side. Your clinician will tailor treatment to your anatomy and goals.

  • Where is DAO Botox injected?

    DAO Botox is injected into the depressor anguli oris muscle near the corners of the mouth. At LaserAway, clinicians assess where the muscle is contracting and inject in a way that helps soften the downward pull while protecting natural mouth movement.

  • Is DAO Botox a standalone treatment?

    No. At LaserAway, DAO Botox is treated as an add-on area, not a standalone bookable treatment.

  • Does DAO Botox affect your smile?

    DAO Botox can affect the smile if placement or dosing is not balanced, which is why precision matters. When performed correctly, the goal is to soften a downturned mouth without making your smile look unnatural.

  • Does DAO Botox help jowls?

    DAO Botox can sometimes make the lower face look a little more lifted by reducing downward pull at the mouth corners, but it is not a direct treatment for true jowls or skin laxity.

  • Is Botox or filler better for marionette lines?

    It depends on what is causing the concern. If marionette lines look deeper because the corners of the mouth are being pulled downward, DAO Botox can help soften that pull. If the area looks more sunken or volume-depleted, filler is often the better fit because filler is used to correct moderate to severe facial folds, including marionette lines. In some cases, the best plan may involve both, depending on your anatomy and goals.

  • How much does DAO Botox cost?

    DAO Botox is typically treated as an add-on area at LaserAway. DAO treatment usually uses 8 units total, but patients must treat at least 20 units total to book a neuromodulator appointment, so pricing depends on the full treatment plan.

  • Is DAO Botox covered by insurance?

    DAO Botox is typically considered a cosmetic treatment and is not covered by insurance.
