Marionette Lines?
How to Treat Them?

Overview

Marionette lines are those wrinkles that form from the corners of the mouth towards the chin, giving the face a drooping appearance. They are a typical sign of facial aging and are usually related to loss of collagen and elasticity in the skin. At our Aesthetic Center, we offer advanced treatments to reduce the appearance of these lines and return a younger and more relaxed look to the face.

Why do I have marionette lines and how can they be eliminated?

• Natural aging: As we get older, skin loses elasticity and collagen, which causes the formation of marionette lines. Treatments like Botox and hyaluronic acid fillers can help smooth these wrinkles and restore facial youth.
• Genetic factors: Some people are more prone to developing marionette lines due to genetic factors. For these cases, we recommend a combination of Sculptra and Radiesse, which stimulate collagen production in the skin.
• External factors: Sun, stress, and other external factors can also accelerate the appearance of marionette lines. For these cases, we suggest treatments like chemical peel and Accent Prime radiofrequency.

What type of treatments exist to improve marionette lines?

At our Aesthetic Center, we offer different treatments to improve marionette lines without resorting to surgery. These are some of the most recommended:

• Botox: Relaxes muscles that contribute to wrinkle formation.
• Hyaluronic Acid Fillers: Filling marionette lines, returning volume and firmness.
• Sculptra: Stimulates collagen production, achieving long-term improvement.
• Accent Prime Radiofrequency: Tightens skin by stimulating collagen from deeper layers.

Do marionette lines worsen over time?

Yes, marionette lines tend to worsen over time if not treated. Collagen and elastin loss continues, which deepens these wrinkles. Treatments like Sculptra and Radiesse help prevent this deterioration, while Accent Prime radiofrequency and peels can remarkably improve skin firmness and texture.

What type of marionette lines are there?

• Superficial lines: Are finer and mainly caused by loss of hydration and skin elasticity.
• Deep lines: Are more marked wrinkles formed by flaccidity and collagen loss in deeper skin layers.

What results can I expect with the treatments offered?

Results vary according to treatment and patient skin. In general, you can expect a visible reduction of marionette lines, improvement in skin firmness and texture, and a rejuvenated facial appearance. Treatments like Sculptra and Radiesse provide progressive results, while hyaluronic acid fillers and Botox offer immediate improvements. At our Aesthetic Center, we develop a personalized plan for each patient, guaranteeing the best results.
