Marionette Lines

Service Description

Marionette lines (also called puppet lines or mentolabial folds) are among the facial wrinkles that form naturally with age. They run from the corners of the mouth towards the chin line. Marionette lines or puppet lines owe their name precisely to this shape: they "separate" the chin area from the rest of the face, which is strongly reminiscent of the characteristic facial features of marionettes. Marionette lines often appear together with nasolabial folds. These extend down from the wings of the nose to the corners of the mouth and, like marionette lines, belong to the smile or expression lines. One of the most common methods of reducing marionette lines is the dermal filler, an injection under the skin. For this purpose, so-called fillers (usually hyaluronic acid) are used. Hyaluronic acid is injected directly into the skin with a thin syringe. The plumping of marionette lines with hyaluronic acid should be performed only by a specialist. To maintain the result, it is necessary to repeat the treatment approximately every 6-12 months. Since it is a minimally invasive method, side effects such as temporary swelling and redness and in rare cases allergic reactions are possible.
