Marionette lines, those facial wrinkles that occur with natural aging, can create a sagging appearance in the lower half of your face. These lines, which run vertically between the mouth and chin, become more visible due to factors such as collagen and elastin loss, thinning of the upper face,
and an increase in fat in the lower face, which, combined with gravity and loss of skin elasticity, draws down the lower face, resulting in distinct folds.
Dermal fillers are a popular treatment option for addressing marionette lines. These gel-based injections are specifically designed to reduce the appearance of wrinkles, contour the face, and restore volume. For deep marionette lines, a combination of filler with skin lifting and tightening treatments such as Ultraformer HIFU or Threads may be recommended.
Our expert practitioners inject the gel-based filler into the marionette lines, providing a natural-looking result. The filler, based on a naturally occurring sugar molecule, binds water, acts as a lubricant and shock absorber, and revitalizes the skin by boosting collagen production.
It's essential to follow pre and post-preparation advice from your doctor or nurse injector for optimal results. Inform your injector of any blood-thinning medications you are taking. After treatment, applying ice frequently and considering LED Light Therapy may help reduce swelling or bruising.
