A soft and friendly appearance. are injections with hyaluronic acid that fill in the lines from the corners of the mouth to the chin and thus soften a gloomy appearance.
Marionette lines, the folds that run from the corners of the mouth to the jawline, can give your face an angry or sad appearance, even if you feel fine. Fortunately, these lines are often easy to soften with fillers. But what exactly are marionette line fillers, how does the treatment work, and what can you expect?
What are marionette lines?
Marionette lines are so named because they resemble the lines of a marionette puppet. They run from the corners of the mouth downwards towards the jaw. As you age, your skin loses volume and firmness. The corner of the mouth can also begin to sag slightly, which emphasises these lines.
Causes of marionette lines:
- Skin ageing and volume loss
- Weakening of the mouth muscles
- Genetic predisposition
- Weight fluctuations
- Lifestyle factors such as smoking and sun damage
How does a filler treatment for marionette lines work?
A marionette line filler treatment consists of injecting hyaluronic acid into the folds next to the corners of the mouth. This fills the line and supports the surrounding tissue, giving you a softer, younger appearance.
The treatment in steps:
- Consultation with the doctor to discuss your face and wishes
- Marking the area to be treated
- Injection with a fine needle or cannula
- Instructions for aftercare and a follow-up appointment if desired
The treatment lasts on average 20 to 30 minutes and the result is often immediately visible.
