Marionette Lines Gone Instantly with Juvederm

What Are Marionette Lines?
They may derive their name from puppet dolls but they’re anything but cute. Marionette lines run a straight line down from the corners of the mouth and can make someone look sad or unhappy even though they feel the opposite on the inside. Aging in this area usually begins in middle age as downward pointing shadows start to form and can be the early tell-tale signs of marionette lines in the making. The earlier they’re treated the better if you want to prevent having deep creases as you age.

Gold Standard Treatment for Smooth Results
Filler such as Juvederm Vycross is the gold standard treatment if you’re looking for an instant non-surgical solution. Juvederm is a popular, long-lasting brand of hyaluronic acid gel that’s used to plump up the area under the skin to restore lost volume. Having your marionette lines injected is extremely safe and has minimal side effects. Furthermore, advanced injection technique such as using a cannula instead of a traditional needle can minimize bruising and swelling at the injection site. Marionette lines need to be touched up every six to twelve months.

Treating Marionette Lines and Nasolabial Folds Together
In some cases marionette lines and nasolabial folds can appear to be an extension of one another although technically they are two separate skin concerns. Whenever injecting filler it’s best to consider a holistic approach that takes into account facial symmetry and proportions. For this reason it’s possible to achieve better overall results if both areas are treated simultaneously, such as this patient who had her marionettes and nasolabial lines (also cheeks) injected by Dr. Kuzmar at St. Clair Cosmetic Clinic.
