What Are Marionette Lines?

Marionette lines are facial folds or creases that extend from the corners of the mouth downwards toward the jawline. They are often caused by a combination of natural aging, loss of collagen and elastin, and repetitive facial expressions. These lines can deepen over time, contributing to an aged or tired appearance.

Marionette Lines Filler Overview

Marionette line filler treatment uses hyaluronic acid-based dermal fillers to restore volume and soften the lines that extend from the corners of the mouth toward the jawline. By strategically placing filler beneath the skin, the treatment helps smooth deep creases, improve facial support, and create a more youthful, refreshed appearance. Results are tailored to your facial anatomy and aesthetic goals, providing natural-looking enhancement with little to no downtime.

The Treatment Process

The treatment area will be thoroughly cleansed and disinfected to ensure a sterile environment. This crucial step minimizes the risk of infection and prepares the skin for the procedure. We maintain strict hygiene protocols for your safety and comfort.

A topical numbing cream or local anesthetic may be applied to the treatment area to enhance your comfort. This helps to minimize any discomfort during the injections. Patient comfort is a priority throughout the procedure.

Using fine needles or cannulas, a dermal filler is carefully injected into and around the marionette lines. The filler material works to plump the skin, reduce the depth of the creases, and restore volume. Our providers use advanced techniques for precise and natural-looking results.

After the injections, the area may be gently massaged to ensure even distribution of the filler. You will receive immediate post-treatment instructions to guide your recovery. This quick session concludes the in-office procedure.
