Treatment Overview
Marionette lines are the creases that run from the corners of the mouth down towards the chin. While normal and natural they can give a downturned appearance to the mouth area. For this reason, people consider marionette line injections.
Precisely placed hyaluronic acid filler restores lost volume along these lines. This softens the creases, and creates a subtle but meaningful lift at the corners of the mouth.
The end result is a refreshed and "lifted" lower face without surgery or downtime. Results are immediate and fully reversible, typically lasting between 12 and 18 months. Book your complimentary consultation to learn if this procedure is right for you.

Frequently Asked Questions
Marionette line filler can help you reduce the creases or wrinkling outside of the lips, running down towards the chin.
Your doctor will map injection points on your skin after your consultation. Then, after numbing cream if needed, they will inject filler precisely into these points. This will fill the grooves in your skin leading to the marionette lines to add volume and reduce their appearance.
There is minimal downtime, though it is normal to experience some redness, swelling, and bruising for the first few days after treatment.
You'll see results immediately after treatment, which will improve over the next 2 weeks. Swelling will subside, and your hyaluronic acid rich filler will begin to attract and hold on to water, revealing your final result.
Yes your result will look natural, as your doctor will ensure not to overfill the treatment area. You will look refreshed, but not like you have had work done, with precise injections and the right amount of filler
Your results will typically last for 12-18 months.
Yes, your filler can be dissolved if you are unhappy with the result or need it dissolved for any other reason.
These fillers are most suitable for people with prominent marionette lines, increasing due to ageing. They're perfect if you want natural looking results without surgery to balance your facial profile and restore youth to the mouth and chin area.
This treatment is not recommended during pregnancy, if you have active skin infections, bleeding disorders, or allergies to the filler or hyalase. It is also not recommended if you have severe skin laxity, or advanced facial volume loss.
This depends on the depth of your marionette lines, and the results you are looking for. Most people need 1ml-2ml in total.
Yes a follow-up session is included, and is highly encouraged. Your doctor will be sparing with the amount of filler used to ensure not to overfill. More filler can be injected if needed in your follow-up, which is far more straight forward than attempting to dissolve a small amount due to overfilling.
Most clients describe the procedure not as painless, but manageable. Numbing cream can be used for a more comfortable experience.
