Marionette lines are facial wrinkles that occur with natural aging. The lines run vertically between the mouth and chin, which can also create sagging in the lower half of your face.

How to get rid of marionette lines?

​

Botulinum toxin type A (Botox) injections are popular solutions for facial wrinkles around the mouth and eyes. These work by relaxing the facial muscles underneath the injection site. In turn, your skin will become smoother with a reduced appearance in wrinkles.

​

In order for Botox injections to treat marionette lines, you’ll need to repeat the treatment every 3 to 4 months. This treatment method works best if you’re just starting to develop these types of wrinkles.

Like Botox, dermal fillers are temporary injectables that can help treat marionette lines. Unlike Botox, fillers don’t relax muscles. Instead, they help plump your skin with hyaluronic acid. This is designed to mimic the effects of collagen and elastin to help smooth fine lines and wrinkles. Hyaluronic acid dermal filler results in an immediate change.
