As we get older, natural skin changes result in creases around the mouth, often referred to as marionette lines. These lines run from the corners of the mouth down toward the chin.

Thankfully, modern advancements in non-surgical treatments like dermal fillers, botox, and chemical peels are effective enough to soften these lines and restore a more youthful, refreshed appearance.

What are marionette lines?

Marionette lines are vertical wrinkles at the corners of your mouth, named for their resemblance to the lines on a puppet's face. These lines are a common sign of aging. These lines can be mild, moderate, or severe.

Luckily, several cosmetic treatments can minimize these lines and restore a more youthful appearance.

What causes marionette lines?

Just like any other type of facial wrinkle, marionette lines are caused primarily by the decrease of natural collagen that happens with age. Starting from the early 20s, our skin starts losing elasticity and hydration, making you more likely to have these wrinkles.

However, some factors, such as sun exposure, stress, and a poor lifestyle, can also provoke premature facial wrinkles. Genetics can also be among these factors.

How to prevent marionette lines?

As we said in the section below, marionette lines form naturally in most cases due to aging, so there is no magic solution to prevent marionette lines from forming. But what you can do is water down their appearance, and here is how:

• Make sure to stay hydrated by regularly drinking water.
• Maintain a healthy lifestyle and a balanced diet.
• Get a regular facial massage.
• Manage and control your stress.
• Moisturize your skin.
• Avoid smoking and alcohol consumption.
• Use a high-SPF sunscreen on a daily basis.

How to get rid of marionette lines? Best marionette lines treatment

There are some great and effective non-invasive treatment options to get rid of marionette lines, but not permanently because their effects will wear off after some time.

Let's get into them one by one.

Filler for Marionette lines

‍

Fillers are the most efficient and long-lasting treatment for marionette lines. They are injected into the skin to plump up the area around the Marionette lines and minimize the appearance of all the wrinkles. 

The best fillers for marionette lines are Juvederm and Restylane fillers, and they can last between 6 and 18 months.

Botox for Marionette lines

‍

Botox is another excellent solution for hiding marionette lines, they are used to smooth out the muscles and reduce the depth of wrinkles around the mouth. But it's not a very durable option because its effects typically last for 3 to 4 months before they wear off.

Patients can see the results after a couple of sessions, and they can last for more than 6 months.

Thread lift

‍

Thread lift is among the most effective treatments for marionette lines. This procedure involves inserting dissolvable sutures under the skin to lift sagging areas and smooth out wrinkles. This treatment is pretty durable, as the results can last for over a year.

Chemical peels

‍

Chemical peels also help reduce wrinkles. This procedure involves applying a chemical solution to exfoliate the skin's outer layer, which eventually peels off. This process reveals more youthful skin underneath and boosts collagen production.

Microneedling for marionette lines

‍

Microneedling is one of the best treatment options for Marionette lines because it's more about boosting collagen production and tightening the skin. During Microneedling treatment, your dermatologist will create tiny punctures in the skin using a special device.

Laser skin resurfacing

‍

Similarly to chemical peels, laser skin resurfacing removes the outer layer of the skin to stimulate collagen production and encourage the growth of new skin, reducing the appearance of marionette lines.

Dermatologists recommend undergoing multiple laser sessions to achieve optimal results.
