Restore Definition Around the Mouth
and Chin with Focused Skin Treatments
Marionette lines are the vertical creases that extend from the corners of the mouth down towards the chin. Commonly associated with changes in facial volume and skin elasticity, these lines can become more pronounced over time, contributing to a heavier or downturned appearance in the lower face.
While marionette lines are a normal part of the ageing process, their development is often influenced by a combination of factors, including skin laxity, repetitive facial movements and the natural breakdown of collagen.
Prophile Clinics offers a range of marionette lines treatment options designed to support facial structure and refine the contours of the lower face. These treatments focus on improving skin firmness, restoring volume where appropriate and promoting a smoother skin surface through professional, non-surgical methods.
Causes of Marionette Lines
Marionette lines typically form as part of the skin’s natural ageing process, but several underlying factors can influence their visibility:
- Loss of skin elasticity due to age-related collagen and elastin decline
- Volume reduction in the mid and lower face
- Genetic predisposition to early signs of facial lines and folds
- Repetitive facial movement, particularly involving the mouth and chin
- Sun exposure and environmental damage, which accelerate skin ageing
- Skin laxity in the lower face, particularly around the chin and jawline
Preventing the Development of Marionette Lines
While marionette lines are not entirely avoidable, certain lifestyle and skincare habits may help reduce their appearance or delay their formation:
- Daily sun protection: Using broad-spectrum sunscreen helps prevent UV damage and the associated loss of skin firmness.
- Topical skincare: Products containing antioxidants, peptides and hyaluronic acid can support hydration and maintain skin tone.
- Healthy lifestyle: A balanced diet, regular hydration, stress management and avoiding smoking can all help preserve facial skin structure.
- Regular skin maintenance: Professional skin treatments that stimulate collagen can support long-term skin quality and resilience.
When to Consider
Treatment for Marionette Lines
Marionette lines often become more noticeable as facial structure and volume shift with age. Clients may consider professional treatment when:
- Lines begin to affect facial symmetry or definition
- Skincare products no longer provide sufficient support
- There is a desire to address volume loss or refine the lower facial contour
- Deepening folds are contributing to an aged or tired appearance
Treatment plans should be tailored based on skin quality, facial anatomy and the depth of the lines. A consultation with qualified professionals ensures a personalised, effective approach.
Non-Surgical Treatment Options
at Prophile Clinics
At Prophile Clinics, a combination of advanced technologies and targeted techniques are used to reduce marionette lines and improve lower face definition. Treatment selection is based on individual skin needs, structural changes and aesthetic goals.
Cosmetic Fillers
Cosmetic fillers can be used to restore subtle volume in the lower face, helping to soften deeper lines and support the surrounding skin. This approach may be recommended where marionette lines are associated with mid-face volume loss or hollowing.
PDO Threads
PDO thread treatments offer a structural approach to lifting and tightening skin around the chin and jawline. By supporting underlying tissue, they can help reposition sagging skin and reduce the appearance of marionette lines.
RF Microneedling
Combining radiofrequency energy with microneedling, this treatment stimulates the production of collagen and elastin in the skin. Over time, it can improve firmness and reduce the depth of static wrinkles around the mouth and chin.
Ultraformer III
Using focused ultrasound energy, the Ultraformer III targets deeper layers of the skin to promote natural lifting and collagen regeneration. It can help address mild to moderate skin laxity in the lower face, offering a non-surgical contouring option.
Skin Needling (Dermapen)
This technique uses fine needles to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin, triggering a natural repair response. As new collagen forms, the skin becomes firmer and smoother, helping to reduce the visibility of marionette lines and improve overall texture.
Cost of Marionette Lines Treatment
The cost of treating marionette lines depends on the selected treatment type, the extent of the concern and the number of sessions required. Following an individual consultation, a detailed treatment plan and cost outline will be provided to ensure transparency and support informed decision-making.
