What are Marionette Lines?
Marionette lines are facial wrinkles that have usually developed by the age of 40, but may have started to form by the age of 20 or 30. These lines run vertically between the mouth and chin. They create a sagging look in the lower half of the face.
Deep, noticeable marionette lines can be a bothersome cosmetic issue for both men and women. People with marionette lines might look much older than they actually are.
At our Medspa in Chandler, we offer effective treatments to erase these lines and prevent them from appearing.
Causes of Marionette Lines
Marionette lines are caused by:
Reduced collagen production. Collagen is a protein that supports the facial structure and plumps the skin.
Gravity: over time, gravity pulls your skin downward and causes the skin to sag.
Excessive sun exposure
Poor nutrition
Stress
Marionette Lines Treatments
Treatment is often determined by your aesthetic goals. Some of our procedures are designed to treat the earlier stages of marionette lines while others are for more severe and advanced creases.
A consultation with one of our aestheticians or providers will help you understand the benefits, complications and treatment plan for your individual needs.
Chemical Peels
A Chemical Peel is a lighter form of skin resurfacing that uses an acidic solution to deeply exfoliate and rejuvenate skin. The result is a fresh and youthful appearance.
A professional medical spa is recommended for chemical peels. At-home chemical peels can only soften shallow marionette lines and can work against sensitive or acneic skin.
A professional chemical peel solution contains a stronger concentration of acid and can help remove the dead skin from the deeper layers. Depending on the skin’s needs, a specific chemical peel will be used.
Injectables
Botox. Botox can help erase early-stage marionette lines. Botox will be injected into the muscles that are used when one frowns, causing the muscle to freeze so that it is not able to continue to create marionette lines. Learn More.
Dermal fillers. Our FDA-approved filler, Juvederm, will be injected below the corner of the mouth to lift the smile and fill out minor creases. Learn More.
Laser Resurfacing
Laser resurfacing is a deep skin treatment that involves using a fractional laser to target the damaged layer of the skin. Our erbium laser resurfacing technology targets water molecules within the collagen layer. The process triggers the skin’s healing process and results in smooth and youthful skin.
Thread Lift
PDO thread lift is a minimally invasive alternative to the surgical facelift. The procedure lifts your mid-face area and is performed under local anesthesia. PDO threads also stimulate collagen production, which helps slow down the signs of aging.
Microneedling with Radiofrequency
Microneedling uses very tiny needles to puncture the skin and help generate stronger skin cells.
Microneedling can generate more collagen to fill in deeper facial wrinkles. Radiofrequency enhances the effectiveness of microneedling.
Light Therapy
Broadband Light Therapy is a non-invasive treatment used to treat various skin conditions. BBL’s intense pulsed light can target marionette lines by reducing or eliminating these wrinkles. The result is a more attractive and younger-looking appearance.
