MARIONETTE LINES

WHAT ARE MARIONETTE LINES?

Marionette lines are distinct facial creases extending downward from the mouth's corners towards the chin. These lines can often give the appearance of a sad face. These lines are a common sign of ageing and can significantly impact one's facial expression, making them appear older or more tired than they actually are. The severity of marionette lines can vary, ranging from subtle to deeply etched lines, depending on various factors, including age, genetics, and lifestyle.

CAUSES OF MARIONETTE LINES

The formation of marionette lines is mainly attributed to the natural ageing process. As we age, our skin loses collagen and elastin, two vital proteins responsible for maintaining skin's elasticity and firmness. This loss proceeds to skin sagging and the formation of wrinkles and folds, including marionette lines. Other contributing factors include sun exposure, which accelerates skin ageing, and smoking, which reduces blood flow to the skin. Repetitive facial expressions play a part, too. Some individuals are more predisposed to developing these lines than others, so genetics have a role in the formation of marionette lines.

NON-SURGICAL TREATMENTS AT AESTHETICA MEDICAL CLINIC 

Dermal fillers for marionette lines

Dermal Fillers

At Aesthetica Medical Clinic, we use premium dermal fillers containing hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring substance in the body, to effectively reduce the appearance of marionette lines. These fillers add volume beneath the skin's surface, lifting and smoothing out the lines for a more youthful appearance. The results are immediate and can last between 9 to 12 months.

Botox Injections

Botox injections are another effective treatment for marionette lines. By relaxing the muscles around the mouth, Botox can prevent the deepening of these lines and smooth out existing ones. This treatment is particularly effective for dynamic marionette lines caused by muscle movement.

NuEra Tight

NuEra Tight is a state-of-the-art treatment that stimulates collagen production within the skin. By promoting skin regeneration, this treatment can improve skin texture and firmness, thereby reducing the appearance of marionette lines. This non-invasive treatment option is ideal for those seeking a gradual improvement in their skin's appearance.

Polynucleotides

Polynucleotides trigger tissue regeneration, with the main aim being restoring skin tone and elasticity. We provide three distinct types of polynucleotides at Aesthetica Medical. One of their products is specifically designed for areas of the lower face, such as marionette lines treatment.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTION

  • WHAT IS THE BEST PROCEDURE TO GET RID OF MARIONETTE LINES?

    The best procedure to address marionette lines often depends on your skin's needs. Popular options include dermal fillers to restore volume, Botox to relax underlying muscles or advanced skin-tightening treatments. A consultation at Aesthetica Medical can help determine the most suitable approach for you.

  • CAN MARIONETTE LINES BE CORRECTED NATURALLY?

    While confident lifestyle choices such as staying hydrated, maintaining a healthy diet, and using quality skincare can slow the progression of marionette lines, they cannot completely erase them. Professional treatments are usually needed to achieve noticeable correction.

  • WHAT IS THE NEW TREATMENT FOR MARIONETTE LINES?

    Emerging treatments for marionette lines include regenerative therapies such as polynucleotides, which aim to rebuild skin structure by stimulating natural collagen and elastin production. Aesthetica Medical offers advanced options tailored to modern skin rejuvenation needs.

  • WHY DO I SUDDENLY HAVE MARIONETTE LINES?

    The sudden appearance of marionette lines can be linked to rapid loss of skin elasticity, significant weight loss, or accelerated ageing caused by environmental factors such as sun damage or stress. Genetics also play a strong role in how quickly these lines develop.

  • IS THERE A WAY TO PREVENT MARIONETTE LINES FROM WORSENING?

    Protecting your skin from UV damage, avoiding smoking, maintaining a consistent skincare routine, and supporting skin health through a balanced diet can help delay the deepening of marionette lines.

  • WILL I NEED REGULAR MAINTENANCE TREATMENTS?

    You will likely require periodic treatments to maintain the best results. Dermal fillers typically need refreshing every 9 to 12 months, while collagen-stimulating treatments may require sessions and occasional top-ups.

  • DOES TREATING MARIONETTE LINES AFFECT MY SMILE OR FACIAL MOVEMENT?

    When performed by experienced professionals, treatments like fillers or Botox are carefully administered to preserve natural expressions, ensuring your smile and facial dynamics remain unaffected.

  • HOW SOON AFTER TREATMENT CAN I WEAR MAKEUP OR ATTEND EVENTS?

    Most patients can resume wearing makeup and attending events within a few hours after treatment, although it's recommended that they follow any specific aftercare advice given during their appointment.

  • ARE MARIONETTE LINE TREATMENTS PAINFUL?

    Treatments are generally well tolerated. Numbing creams or local anaesthetic agents are often used to minimise discomfort, and most patients report only mild sensations during the procedure.

  • CAN MARIONETTE LINE TREATMENTS BE COMBINED WITH OTHER FACIAL REJUVENATION SERVICES?

    Absolutely. Combining marionette line treatments with other services like cheek fillers, lip enhancement, or skin tightening therapies can achieve more harmonious and youthful facial rejuvenation.
