Marionette lines are the lines that run from the corners of your mouth vertically and downwards towards your chin. They usually appear in your late 30s and early 40s and become clearer as time goes on.

Since the lines appear on the face, they can alter a person’s appearance and can lower their self-esteem. This is because they differ from normal wrinkles and facial lines and can give the permanent appearance of one looking sad or annoyed.

What causes marionette lines?

When we age, our bodies lose collagen and natural proteins. This leaves our skin lacking in volume and elasticity. That is why our skin sags and wrinkles form. The skin around your mouth is no different. As the fat deposits in your face deplete, hollow depressions form on it and leads to the appearance of marionette lines.
A combination of lifestyle habits, environmental factors, and genetics can also cause them to appear.
For instance, smoking increases your likelihood of developing marionette lines. Poor skin care habits such as over-exposure to sunlight due to sun tanning also increases your likelihood of getting them.

Have you recently lost weight? Weight loss can make marionette lines more evident.

How do I fix marionette lines?

There Internet is full of tips to help you fix your marionette lines. However, none of them has been proven to work. Timeless Cosmetics has non-surgical treatments to correct your marionette lines at our Mandurah Clinic.

Since marionette lines are caused by a combination of collagen breakdown and elastin in your skin due to aging and other lifestyle factors, the only way to fix them is to get to the source of the problem.

The lines can be corrected through the injection of dermal fillers. Dermal fillers replace the lost volume in your face by hydrating and treating deep wrinkles and folds. The fillers also improve your skin’s health and youthfulness for a natural look. Even better, they are more effective than facial creams.

How do we treat Marionette Lines at Timeless Cosmetics?

Treating marionette lines usually takes 15-30 minutes. The results are immediate. For your comfort, our clinicians may administer a local anaesthetic or a numbing cream to the treatment area.

Am I suitable for treatment?

Anyone regardless of their gender can have dermal fillers. If you are pregnant or bruise easily, you may not be suitable for dermal filler treatments.

Give us a call at 9544 5200 to talk to one of our team members to discuss if you’re suitable for dermal fillers.

How long will my results last?

The results of your treatment will last for six to twelve months depending on the filler you have, and the depth injected.

Our medical team will advise you on how long you’ll need before a touch-up is required.
