How are marionette lines treated with dermal filler?
Marionette lines are the grooves that extend down and outwards from the corners of the mouth towards the jawline. They are a common sign of ageing, and one of the most frequent reasons people consider cosmetic treatments.
Marionette lines develop for two reasons. The first is due to a loss of deep bone and fatty tissue structure beneath the skin. The skin of the lower cheeks then begins to sag down and forward, collapsing over the top of the more rigid chin skin. This causes a grooves in the skin known as melomental folds (or marionette lines) to become apparent.
We can treating marionette lines with dermal fillers. We target the underlying structural layers of the lower face to restore deep support to the skin, and the fold itself. This combination approach achieves the most natural result.
The benefits of marionette lines filler include:
- Quick, convenient and no downtime treatment
- Immediate, long-lasting result
- Achieves a natural yet noticeable improvement in the appearance of your marionette lines.
For those with heavy or severe marionette lines, dermal filler will only achieve a partial improvement. If you want a more pronounced result, then the sagging skin must be addressed. This requires thread lifting, or a facelift. These reposition the sagging skin and fat, taking the heaviness away from the fold.
