Nose to Mouth Lines (Marionette Lines)

Marionette Lines London

Marionette lines are the vertical lines that extend from the corners of the mouth down towards the chin, and they are a common concern as we age. These lines can create a downturned appearance, often making you look older or more tired than you actually feel. The primary underlying cause of marionette lines is the loss of volume in the prejowl area, which is the region on either side of the chin. As we age, the natural fat pads that once supported this area diminish, leading to sagging skin and the formation of these deep lines.

At Infinity Aesthetics in London, we understand the importance of addressing the root cause of marionette lines—volume loss. That’s why we offer advanced non-surgical treatments, including the use of premium dermal fillers, to effectively replace the lost volume in the prejowl area. By doing so, we not only soften the appearance of marionette lines but also restore a more youthful and balanced facial contour.

Our solution

At Infinity Aesthetics in London, our approach to treating marionette lines is centred around the careful replenishment of lost volume using dermal fillers. These fillers are designed to mimic the body’s natural hyaluronic acid, adding volume and smoothing out wrinkles to create a refreshed and rejuvenated appearance. The result is a softer, more youthful look that enhances your natural features without appearing overdone.

To ensure a comfortable and safe treatment experience, we use a cannula—a thin, flexible tube—instead of traditional needles. The use of a cannula significantly reduces the risk of bruising and swelling, as it allows for fewer entry points and minimises trauma to the surrounding tissues. This technique also enables us to deliver the dermal fillers with greater precision, ensuring that the results are both natural-looking and long-lasting.

Furthermore, we enhance the safety and precision of our treatments with the use of the Clarius handheld ultrasound device. This advanced technology allows us to visualise the underlying structures of your face in real-time, ensuring that the dermal fillers are placed with accuracy and care. By using ultrasound guidance, we can avoid critical blood vessels and other vital structures, further reducing the risk of complications and enhancing the overall safety of the procedure.

At Infinity Aesthetics, we are committed to providing the highest standard of care, using only premium dermal fillers and the latest techniques to achieve the best possible outcomes for our patients. Whether you’re looking to soften marionette lines or address other signs of ageing, our personalised approach ensures that your treatment is tailored to your unique needs and delivers natural, long-lasting results.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) About Marionette Lines and Non-Surgical Treatments

1. What are marionette lines?
Marionette lines are vertical wrinkles that form from the corners of the mouth down to the chin, often giving a sagging or downturned appearance.

2. How are marionette lines treated non-surgically?
Non-surgical treatments typically involve the use of dermal fillers to add volume and smooth out the lines, providing a more youthful appearance.

3. Are the results of dermal fillers for marionette lines immediate?
Yes, the results from dermal fillers are usually visible immediately after the treatment, although some swelling or bruising may occur, which will subside within a few days.

4. How long do the results of dermal fillers last?
The results of dermal fillers can last between 6 to 18 months, depending on the type of filler used and individual factors such as metabolism and lifestyle.

5. Is the treatment for marionette lines painful?
The procedure is generally well-tolerated, and a local anaesthetic is used to minimise discomfort during the treatment.

6. What are the risks associated with dermal fillers?

7. Can botulinum toxin be used alone to treat marionette lines?
Botulinum toxin can be used to relax the muscles around the mouth, which can help prevent the deepening of marionette lines. However, it is often used in combination with dermal fillers for the best results.

8. How soon can I return to my normal activities after treatment?
Most patients can resume their normal activities immediately after treatment, although it’s advisable to avoid strenuous exercise and excessive sun exposure for 24 hours.

No, when performed by a skilled practitioner, the treatment will result in a natural, refreshed look. The aim is to enhance your features without compromising your facial expressions.

10. How do I know if I’m a good candidate for marionette line treatment?
A consultation at Infinity Aesthetics is the best way to determine if you’re a good candidate for treatment. During the consultation, we will assess your skin, discuss your goals, and recommend the most suitable treatment plan for you.

Dermal Fillers for Marionette Lines

Marionette lines, which appear as lines running from the corner of the mouth down towards the chin, are a common concern that arises with age. As we grow older, the loss of tissue in the chin area and the decrease in tension within the supporting ligaments of the mid and lower face contribute to the formation of these lines.

Dr. Owen Thomas offers dermal filler treatments at his practice to address marionette lines and rejuvenate the appearance of the face. He can effectively restore lost volume, smooth out the lines, and provide a more youthful and refreshed look by utilising high-quality dermal fillers.

During the treatment process, Dr. Owen carefully assesses the unique facial anatomy of each patient to determine the optimal approach for addressing marionette lines. By understanding the specific needs and goals of the individual, he creates a customised treatment plan to achieve natural-looking results.

Dermal fillers are strategically injected into the targeted areas along the marionette lines, helping to plump and lift the skin. This approach fills in the lines themselves and restores volume to the surrounding tissue, resulting in a more harmonious and balanced appearance.

Dr. Owen’s expertise lies in achieving subtle and natural outcomes, avoiding an overfilled or unnatural appearance. By utilising his advanced training and techniques, he can effectively minimise the appearance of marionette lines while maintaining the overall facial harmony.

Through the use of dermal fillers, Dr. Owen helps his patients regain their confidence and achieve a more youthful and revitalised look. By restoring volume and addressing the specific concerns associated with marionette lines, he can provide a personalised treatment that meets the unique needs of each individual.

If you are interested in addressing marionette lines and rejuvenating your facial appearance, Dr. Owen Thomas offers consultations at his practice. During these consultations, he will discuss your goals, assess your facial features, and provide expert guidance on your most suitable treatment options.
