At The Rejuva Center, based on our extensive experience, we have found that Juvéderm®, Radiesse®, or a combination of the two is often the best treatment for marionette lines. These filler treatment options typically provide the desired results and are most cost-effectively for the average patient.
Bellafill patients have reported results lasting upwards of 7 years or even longer, whereas the results of other fillers vary from 6 months to 3 years. Bellafill is especially good for treating marionette lines, as well as other wrinkles and scars.
Juvéderm for Marionette Lines? To treat the vertical lines between the mouth and chin to reduce the look of sagging, you're likely to need one syringe per side.
Juvederm products are typically the better option for moderate lines, while Restylane is typically a better option for mild marionette lines. Ultimately, the decision to use Restylane or Juvederm for marionette lines will depend on the needs of the patient and the severity of the lines.
The needle should be inserted approximately 1 cm below the lip and a linear threading technique should be used to inject filler along the lower lip and into the marionette fold. Correction of marionette lines usually requires injection into the deep dermis with a malleable product.
Facial fillers are very effective at dealing with deep wrinkles such as marionette lines. They gently plump out the wrinkles, resulting in a smoother appearance. Dermal fillers can also be used to add volume to your cheeks, replacing the diminishing fat pads in that area.
Baugh administers JUVÉDERM® to smooth away fine lines and wrinkles around the mouth and nose, including marionette lines and vertical lip lines. How long does JUVÉDERM last? In most cases, results last anywhere from 12 to 24 months.
Dermal fillers for nasolabial folds and marionette lines are one of the longest-lasting. Patients can typically enjoy treatment benefits for up to two years.
Fortunately, dermal fillers work very quickly, and you won't have to wait twelve months to see the full benefits of your injections. That said, these injectable treatments take some time to integrate into your tissues, and it's normal for your dermal filler to take up to two weeks to fully settle into your face.
Dermal fillers are instant, so you can see a visible result immediately after injection. It takes up to 4 weeks for the filler to fully integrate into the tissue and some fillers are more cohesive than others.
After dermal filler injections into the marionette line area and lower face, side effects can include redness, swelling, and tenderness in the injection site. These effects usually subside within two days.
Marionette lines can be treated with hyaluronic acid. The treatment needs to be repeated approximately every 6-12 months. One of the most common methods of reducing marionette lines is the dermal filler, an injection under the skin. For this purpose, so-called fillers (usually hyaluronic acid) are used.
Botox is useful for relaxing the muscles that pull down the corners of the mouth, while dermal fillers are the “go-to” treatment for erasing marionette lines because they are more effective in adding volume to the lower parts of the face. Doctors may also recommend combining both treatments to achieve the best results.
Many plastic surgeons say that Juvederm and Restylane are the most durable and longest-lasting fillers available. Both contain hyaluronic acid and are good for smoothing wrinkles and lines. Hyaluronic acid carries 1,000 times its weight in water and makes the skin look young, supple, and soft.
The best filler for the corners of the mouth really depends on your mouth and your skin. If you have thin skin, a thinner filler, such as Restylane, Restylane Silk or Volbella work best. These fillers provide lift using just a very thin fine amount and they can also fill some of the little edged lines.
Like foundation, concealer will even out your skin. If your purpose is to hide marionette lines, dab your liquid concealer into the area around your mouth using a concealer brush or your finger until it has completely absorbed. Lastly, apply a setting powder all around your face using a large makeup brush.
More often than not if you're over the age of 40, the root cause is marionette lines. Marionette lines are some of the most commonly lamented wrinkles for women middle-aged and older, though they can grace our faces as early as our 20s or 30s, depending on genetic predisposition.
How does the treatment work? Dermal fillers are applied to the marionette lines and the corners of the mouth. This hides the shadow between the 2 areas creating a flatter shape. This smoothens out the marionette lines and reduces the appearance of the jowls.
Although extremely rare, dermal fillers are able to migrate within the skin if consistent and adequate pressure is applied to them. For this reason, we advise patients not to get a facial, massage (on the treated skin), or microdermabrasion for the first two weeks following their filler injections.
