Marionette Lines (Mouth to chin)

Marionette lines, also known as nasolabial folds or puppet lines, are the lines that run from the corners of the mouth down to the chin. These lines can become more pronounced with age, contributing to a tired or sagging appearance. Dermal fillers are commonly used to address marionette lines, providing volume and smoothing out the creases.

Dermal fillers, often made from hyaluronic acid or other biocompatible materials, are injected into the targeted areas to restore lost volume. Hyaluronic acid is a substance naturally found in the skin that attracts and retains water, contributing to hydration and volume. The injected filler physically fills in the sunken or wrinkled areas, effectively plumping up the skin. This helps to smooth out the appearance of marionette lines and restore a more youthful contour to the lower face. Some dermal fillers have the additional benefit of stimulating collagen production in the skin.

Collagen is a protein that provides structure and elasticity. By encouraging the natural production of collagen, these fillers contribute to longer-term improvement in skin texture and firmness.
