Marionette Lines

Smooth out those lines...

Marionette lines are lines in our faces that is a natural consequence of aging. The lines are observed vertically between our mouth and chin, which can also create sagging skin in the lower part of our face. As this condition is linked to aging, it can be observed that the skin gradually loses integrity and facial volume as we grow older that may result in thickening of the folds. The folds can also create shadows around the mouth which can make the face appear more tired, like marionette dolls, hence the name. Treatments options for this condition are dermal fillers and mini threads.

Treatment Options

Dermal Filler

Dermal fillers are gel-like substances that are injected under the layer of the skin to restore the lessening or lost volume, smooth lines such as wrinkles, or enhance the definition of particular parts of the face. With that being said, it is an effective treatment for conditions that has irregularities, asymmetry, or abnormality in shape, form, and definition of the skin such as wrinkles, humps, or receding skin. Dermal fillers can vary in their composition to make them more suitable for the treatment of different areas. The most common type of dermal filler is the hyaluronic acid (HA) dermal filler, which is composed of a sugar molecule hyaluronic acid, a fluid that is naturally occurring in our bodies and is typically used for wrinkles, under the eyes, lips, and cheek augmentation.

Mini Threads

Mini thread procedure is best described as an advanced skin-tightening procedure that is expertly applied to key areas in the face, such as the eye corners, cheeks, and chin to improve their appearance. The procedure is done by inserting mini threads into the skin using small needles. These threads are naturally dissolvable, so as the threads dissolve, they kickstart the production of new collagen, a protein that is essential in giving our skin structure, to improve the appearance of the area being treated. These collagen-stimulating threads can come in many forms and the three used in the cosmetic industry are Polydioxanone (PDO) threads, PLLA (Poly-L-Lactic) Sutures, and PCL (Polycaprolactone) Sutures.
