Marionette Lines

As we age, our skin undergoes significant changes, including volume loss, reduced elasticity, and the formation of jowls and wrinkles, especially in the lower face. The firmness of youthful collagen and elastin diminishes, leading to sagging skin, thinning, drooping around the lips and mouth, and wrinkles on the chin and neck. Marionette lines, or "mouth frowns," cause deep wrinkles from the mouth to the jawline, often resulting in a permanently sad appearance.

Understanding Facial Ageing: Loss of Volume, Elasticity, and Firmness

As we age, the skin's appearance, volume, and integrity change. Key factors include:

Tackling Marionette Lines: The Unwanted "Mouth Frown"

Marionette lines, or "mouth frowns," are a common ageing concern, especially among women. These lines form when upper and lower lip wrinkles develop, causing the mouth corners to droop. This leads to a permanent frown appearance with deep, ingrained wrinkles from the mouth to the jawline, giving a "puppet mouth" look. Additionally, these lines can cause chronic irritation from salivary overflow, known as angular cheilitis.

Effective Treatment for Marionette Lines with Dermal Fillers

Skin Renewal offers a solution to combat facial ageing and marionette lines through dermal filler injections using the MD Codes technique. This approach involves precise dermal filler placement to improve the appearance of marionette lines through targeted injections. Our extensively trained medical doctors ensure exceptional results using the MD Codes technique. The sooner this procedure is performed, the better the final outcomes will be.

Introducing Our "Happy Face" Signature Solution

This minimally invasive approach allows you to achieve a refreshed and confident look without the need for extensive procedures. The "Happy Face" treatment is a novel technique for correcting marionette lines and a downturned mouth.

Skin Renewal "Happy Face" Treatment Includes:

The treatment is considered novel and safe due to its use of a cannula, which minimises the risk of harming nerve structures and minimises bruising and discomfort.
