Beautiful You, Today & Everyday
What Are Marionette Lines?
Marionette lines are small wrinkles found at the corners of your mouth caused by aging and everyday mimical expressions. At Capital Aesthetics, we offer several treatments that can effectively minimize the definition of marionette lines and create a more youthful appearance.
- What Causes Marionette Lines?
Marionette lines become more prominent with age due to a loss of collagen and elastin in the skin. This can cause the skin to sag and create deeper wrinkles. Marionette lines can also be caused by smoking, sun damage, and dehydration. - Who Can Develop Marionette Lines?
Most people will get marionette lines to a certain extent as they age, and the likelihood is higher if you have a family history of this condition. Additionally, some people may be more likely to develop these creases early or have deeper, more visible lines. For instance, people who do not use adequate sun protection or smoke may form more prominent, early wrinkles around their mouths and chins. - How to Reduce the Impact of Marionette Lines When treating marionette lines, it is important to recognize that topical creams or lotions will do little to change their appearance. Instead, marionette lines can be effectively treated with minimally invasive medical aesthetic treatments like microneedling or injectables. Injectables like neuromodulators and dermal fillers tend to be chosen as treatments due to their unique properties. Both can be successful and effective methods of treating these fine, delicate lines.
Treatment Options for Marionette Lines
At Capital Aesthetics, we work with you to determine the best treatment options for your unique concerns. In our clinic, our team offers multiple marionette line procedures to counteract the effects of this condition. Our professional aestheticians will be happy to walk you through the possible options and build a custom treatment plan tailored to your skin and goals.
Neuromodulators
If marionette lines are formed due to muscle contractions rather than volume loss, neuromodulators can soften their look and prevent new lines from forming.
Dermal Fillers
Dermal fillers may also be used to support the sunken skin by the corners of the mouth, leveling it out and eliminating the undesired skin folds.
Microneedling
Microneedling uses multiple tiny needles to promote cellular regeneration and stimulate collagen production. As a result, your skin will appear smoother and tighter, and the look of marionette lines will be diminished.
