Published 27th September 2019

Marionette lines are the lines that appear between your lips and your nose. As you age, these lines appear and then deepen, and can make you look and feel older than you are. Dermal fillers are a great way of treating these lines, reducing their visibility and restoring your confidence in the way you look.

While ageing is healthy, natural and should be celebrated the lines that it brings can be treated and reduced with regular filler treatments.

While some wrinkles can be small and add features to the face, most are unwanted and can cause a lack of confidence in the way that you look and feel about yourself. For those who want to reduce the signs of ageing on their face, expert aesthetic teams can offer excellent advice and treatments for a range of lines and wrinkles.

Dermal Fillers

There are a variety of different issues that Dermal Fillers can help you with. The most well known of these has to be the lines and signs of ageing that can appear on your face.

Wrinkles, saggy jowls and lines may make you look less youthful and leave you feeling self-conscious about your appearance. Marionette lines are just one of those unwanted signs of ageing that can appear on your face, and Dermal Fillers can hold the answer.

What are the Marionette Lines?

In older people, there is a tendency to develop lines from the corners of the mouth that reach down to the chin; they can also develop between the nose and lips. These are Marionette Lines and are not often seen in younger skin.

One of the worst parts of having Marionette Lines is that they may lead others to believe that you are feeling a way that you are not as they can slightly change the natural expression on your face. Sad, angry, upset or frustrated are often mistaken when it is merely just a common side effect of getting older.

Not everyone will have Marionette Lines as they age, but for those that do have them, there is a chance that you are genetically programmed to develop them and while you cannot stop them developing you can make them appear better when they do. The ligaments near the chin and mouth loosen, as well as fat deposits depleting under the skin which leaves the skin looking hollow and saggy, resulting in the Marionette Lines.

Marionette Lines Treatments
