Marionette Lines and Folds

Skin Care Treatment for Marionette Lines and Folds

Restore balance to your lower face with safe care

Downward folds near the mouth are a common concern. Our marionette line treatments help lift and smooth the lower face for a more refreshed appearance.

Marionette lines are vertical folds that run from the corners of the mouth down to the chin. These lines form over time due to natural ageing, repetitive facial movement, and volume loss, and can contribute to a downturned, tired, or sagging appearance.

At The Cosmetic Studio Noosa, we offer personalised, non-surgical treatments to help soften these lines, support the lower face, and restore natural symmetry and lift.

Contributing Factors:

Several key changes in the skin and underlying structure contribute to marionette lines and folds.

  • Volume Loss: Loss of fat and soft tissue around the mouth allows the skin to fold downward.

  • Bone Changes: Natural bone density loss reduces facial support as we age.

  • Muscle Pull: Active muscles at the corners of the mouth can exaggerate downward folds.

  • Collagen Decline: As collagen breaks down, skin loses strength and firmness.

  • Sun Exposure and Smoking: Both accelerate skin ageing and line formation.

  • Genetics: Facial shape and skin type may increase the likelihood or severity of marionette folds.

Marionette lines form for many reasons, and the best results come from treating all contributing factors. During your consultation, we assess volume, skin condition, and facial movement to create a plan that targets the source of these lines, supporting lift and softness while preserving your natural expression.

Treatment Approach

Our approach to marionette lines combines volume restoration and muscle support to reduce deep folds and downward pull. We use carefully placed dermal fillers to restore lost structure, while wrinkle-reducing treatments may be used to soften overactive muscle activity. Each plan is tailored to your facial shape and concerns, helping refresh the lower face without looking overdone.
