What are marionette lines?
A soft and friendly appearance., also known as nasolabial folds, are vertical lines that extend from the corners of the mouth to the jawline. These lines can make your face look tired or sad, even if you feel fine. But what causes these lines and what can you do about them?
Causes of marionette lines
Marionette lines arise from a combination of factors, including:
- Ageing: As we age, our skin loses its elasticity and firmness. This leads to the formation of wrinkles and folds, including marionette lines.
- Genetics: Some people are genetically more prone to developing marionette lines than others.
- Sun exposure: Sun exposure can damage the skin and accelerate the aging process, which can contribute to the formation of marionette lines.
- Smoking: Smoking can damage the skin and accelerate the breakdown of collagen and elastin, leading to premature aging.
- Weight loss: Significant weight loss can cause volume loss in the face, which can contribute to the development of marionette lines.
Treatment of Marionette Lines at Dokter Finn

Fillers as a solution
One of the most effective ways to reduce marionette lines is through the use of hyaluronic acid fillers. These fillers help to restore lost volume and plump the skin back up, causing the lines to soften or even disappear completely. The process is as follows:
- Consultation: Our cosmetic doctor discusses your wishes and examines where the injections will be placed. This is accurately marked out.
- Injections: Subsequently, a number of injections with hyaluronic acid filler are placed along the corners of the mouth downwards, towards the jawline.
- Result: The fillers ensure that your marionette lines soften or disappear, resulting in a younger, more cheerful, and refreshed appearance.
The result of a filler treatment is immediately visible and lasts about 6 to 12 months, depending on various factors such as your skin type and lifestyle. At Dokter Finn, you are in good hands. Our doctors are BIG-registered and maintain the highest quality and safety standards. We strive for a result that suits your natural appearance and personal wishes.
