Marionette lines can subtly shift your entire facial expression. These creases, which run from the corners of the mouth down toward the chin, are often associated with sagging skin, volume loss, and the natural effects of aging. But here’s the good news—there are modern, minimally invasive solutions that can soften, lift, and restore your features without surgery. At Peace Love Tox in Chagrin Falls, we offer customized treatment plans that target marionette lines and give your lower face a fresher, more youthful contour.
What Causes Marionette Lines?
Several factors contribute to the formation of marionette lines:
- Volume loss in the cheeks and jawline, leading to sagging skin
- Collagen breakdown due to aging, sun exposure, and oxidative stress
- Muscle movement from talking, chewing, or frowning
- Genetics, which can predispose some to deeper folds
While they’re a natural part of aging, that doesn’t mean you have to live with them. There are effective ways to reduce their appearance and prevent them from deepening.
Top Treatments for Marionette Lines
Fixing marionette lines isn’t a one-size-fits-all process. Depending on the depth of the lines, skin quality, and facial structure, our providers at Peace Love Tox may recommend one or a combination of the following treatments:
1. Dermal Fillers (Restylane, Juvederm, RHA)
One of the most popular options for softening marionette lines is filler. We use advanced hyaluronic acid formulas like Juvederm, Restylane, and RHA to gently fill the fold, restoring volume and creating a smoother transition from the cheeks to the chin. These injectables also help lift surrounding tissues, subtly enhancing your lower face.
2. Biostimulators (Sculptra or Hyperdilute Radiesse)
If your concern is more about skin laxity and long-term improvement, biostimulators are a smart choice. Sculptra and dilute or hyperdilute Radiesse stimulate your body to produce collagen, gradually firming and tightening the skin. Over time, you’ll notice improved structure and fewer visible lines.
3. PDO Threads
For those who need more lift than filler alone can provide, PDO threads offer a powerful solution. These dissolvable threads are placed beneath the skin to physically lift sagging tissue while encouraging collagen production. Think of it as a non-surgical facelift with natural-looking results and minimal downtime.
4. Neurotoxins (Botox, Xeomin, Dysport, Daxxify)
Although Botox and its counterparts are best known for smoothing forehead lines, they can also soften the downward pull from the muscles near the mouth that deepen marionette lines. A few precisely placed units can help create a subtle lift and a less frowning expression.
5. Microneedling + PRP
If you’re looking to improve overall skin texture and firmness, combining microneedling with platelet-rich plasma (PRP) can stimulate new collagen in the lower face, which supports a lifted appearance and smoother skin around the mouth and chin.
The Best Combination for Long-Lasting Results
In many cases, combining treatments offers the most natural and lasting outcome. For example:
- Fillers can restore volume.
- PDO threads can provide lift.
- Sculptra or dilute Radiesse can rebuild collagen.
- Neurotoxins can relax muscle tension that worsens the fold.
Each treatment works differently, but together they tackle every contributing factor—volume, sagging, skin quality, and muscular pull.
Signs It Might Be Time to Treat Marionette Lines
- You notice a shadow or crease forming between the mouth and chin
- Makeup is settling into the fold and making it more obvious
- Your lower face looks tired or pulled down
- You’re starting to feel self-conscious in photos
You don’t need to wait until the lines are deep to take action. In fact, treating early signs often leads to better, more natural-looking outcomes.
How We Customize Treatments at Peace Love Tox
At our medical spa in Chagrin Falls, Ohio, we treat faces, not just lines. Before any injections or threads, we assess the structure of your cheeks, jawline, and chin. Marionette lines are often a symptom of volume loss in other areas, so correcting them effectively means taking a whole-face approach. You might need cheek filler to provide lift from above, or chin filler to restore support and balance.
We’ll guide you through what your skin needs, what to expect, and how to maintain your results—because aging gracefully doesn’t mean doing nothing. It means making small, strategic decisions over time that keep you feeling like you.
