Marionette Lines and Nasolabial Fold Filler treatments are an effective technique to reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles and creases in the area around the mouth. Most susceptible to a loss of fullness and structure as we age, these lines present due to the endless movement and facial expressions over time. Teamed with the natural ageing process as well as environmental and lifestyle factors, overall volume is gradually lost throughout the mid and upper part of the face.
Nasolabial Folds are defined as the expressional area where lines form when we laugh and smile running from the sides of the nose to the corners of the mouth. Marionette Lines run beneath – they are the vertical creases that form at the corners of the mouth down towards the chin.
Using a hyaluronic acid dermal filler, we can carefully augment displaced areas of volume to smooth out the skin’s surface and build a more taut and firm appearance. Precision injections via an ultra-fine needle administered by your Aesthetics practitioner will create lift and suppleness to the middle of the face for a healthy and youthful look.
Following an in-depth assessment, you will understand your suitability and expected results of the treatment and your Aesthetics practitioner will put together a thorough treatment plan in order to address your concerns.
