More and more people want to have their marionette lines removed. With our minimally invasive treatment, this is no longer wishful thinking. The so-called marionette lines (mentolabial folds) are pronounced wrinkles around the mouth that extend from the corners of the mouth to the lower jaw.

There are various treatments available to restore a vital and positive expression to your face.

Causes of marionette wrinkles
Wrinkles at the corners of the mouth can be caused by various things. However, the natural ageing process is usually to blame for a tired and grumpy facial expression. From around the age of 25, the elasticity and resilience of the skin begins to steadily decrease. Over time, the tissue of the cheeks and lower jaw also sags further and further. Between the ages of 30 and 40, the first real wrinkles become visible, including the dreaded marionette lines. Depending on lifestyle, wrinkles develop earlier or later. An unhealthy lifestyle, e.g. with lots of sugar and other unhealthy foods, as well as weight fluctuations, the consumption of alcohol and nicotine, extensive sunbathing, stress or even jaw problems can cause the skin around the mouth to age much earlier and more severely.
How we can treat the corners of your mouth
If the marionette lines are very pronounced or bother the wearer, there are cosmetic treatment options that are safe and very effective. The most common method of removing wrinkles at the corners of the mouth is a Hyaluron treatment - A minimally invasive injection of hyaluronic acid. This results in a friendlier and more relaxed facial expression as well as a rejuvenated, refreshed appearance. The effect of the injection lasts for around 3 to 6 months and the treatment should be repeated at regular intervals to remove the marionette lines almost permanently.
In addition to the use of hyaluronic acid Wrinkle treatment is possible with Botox. However, we recommend injecting hyaluronic acid into the marionette lines for a more aesthetic and fresher result, as this type of wrinkle involves a loss of volume that can be compensated for with the injection.
