From what age can you have marionette lines treated?
Marionette lines, the folds that run from the corners of the mouth down to the jawline, are one of the first signs of ageing. They arise because the skin loses firmness and elasticity over time. Factors such as smoking and sun exposure can also contribute to their formation. But at what age do marionette lines start to form, and when is it time to treat them?
From what age do marionette lines develop?
The age at which marionette lines become visible can vary. For many people, these lines begin to appear around their thirties or forties. However, this process can be accelerated by genetic factors, lifestyle choices, and environmental influences. People who have had significant sun exposure or who smoke may develop marionette lines earlier.
When can you have marionette lines treated?
The good news is that you can treat marionette lines as soon as they become visible and bother you. It is important to know that treatments with hyaluronic acid fillers are only suitable for persons aged 18 and over. At Dokter Finn, we recommend scheduling a consultation as soon as you notice the lines deepening or giving you a tired or less cheerful appearance.
How does the treatment work?
At Dokter Finn, we treat marionette lines with hyaluronic acid fillers. The cosmetic doctor carefully examines where the injections should be placed and marks this out. Subsequently, a number of filler injections are placed along the corners of the mouth downwards, towards the jawline. Through these fillers, your marionette lines are softened or even disappear completely. The result is a younger, more cheerful, and more refreshed-looking appearance.
What can you expect?
The effects of a treatment with hyaluronic acid fillers are immediately visible and generally last between 6 and 12 months. It is a quick procedure with minimal recovery time, often referred to as a 'lunchtime treatment'.

Marionette lines can become visible as early as your thirties, but the age varies per person. As soon as you notice that these lines are affecting your appearance, you can consider scheduling a consultation at Dokter Finn.
