Marionette Lines Treatment in Folkestone & Sheerness
Marionette lines run vertically from the corners of the mouth down toward the chin, named for their resemblance to the hinged lines on a puppet’s mouth. As volume and skin elasticity decrease with age, these lines can become more pronounced, sometimes contributing to a tired or downturned appearance even at rest.
At KBP Aesthetics, we treat marionette lines using targeted dermal filler to soften their appearance while preserving natural facial expression and movement. Available at our Folkestone and Sheerness clinics in Kent.
What Causes Marionette Lines?
How Marionette Line Treatment Works
Dermal filler is placed strategically along the line itself to restore lost volume and soften its depth. Because marionette lines are closely connected to jaw, chin, and mouth-corner structure, treatment is often most effective when considered alongside related concerns — such as combining filler with DAO treatment if downturned mouth corners are also a concern.
Am I a Good Candidate for Marionette Line Treatment?
This treatment suits clients with visible lines running from the mouth to the chin, whether from volume loss, muscle activity, or a combination of both. During your consultation, we’ll assess whether filler alone, or a combination approach with DAO treatment or chin filler, will achieve the most natural, complete result for your face.
As with all filler treatments, suitability depends on medical history, current medication, and whether you’re pregnant or breastfeeding.
