Marionette lines are the lines that run from the corners of the mouth towards the chin. They can give the face a gloomy, strict or tired appearance, even when you feel good. At Xavier Clinics we treat marionette lines on a subtle, natural and safe way, with an eye for the entire face.
Our philosophy is focused on rejuvenation without overcorrection, so that your appearance remains fresh and completely suits you.
How are marionette lines formed?
Marionette lines are caused by a combination of skin aging and changes in facial structure:
-
Decrease in collagen and elastin
-
Loss of volume around the mouth and jawline
-
Sagging skin and muscles
-
Repetitive facial expressions (talking, laughing)
-
Genetic predisposition
Often there are puppet lines not just a local problem. Loss of volume in the cheeks or a less defined jawline can accentuate the lines.
