Removing Marionette Lines in Zurich

Marionette lines are wrinkles that run diagonally from the corners of the mouth down to the chin. They are a concern for many individuals who prioritize their aesthetic appearance. These wrinkles often develop from around the age of 40 and become more pronounced over time. It makes sense to treat and remove marionette lines with hyaluronic acid, botulinum toxin, or a facelift.

At our AVORYA Clinic - Source of Beauty in Zurich, we offer several treatments that effectively combat marionette lines.
We can draw on years of experience and expertise in this field. Our goal is to maintain or restore a natural appearance while addressing the individual needs of our patients.

Marionette lines are a real nuisance for women over 40. They are often perceived as bothersome. Early treatment can reduce the appearance of these wrinkles and prevent them from becoming too pronounced. The goal is to achieve a fresher and younger look, and targeted treatment for marionette lines can make that possible.

How Marionette Lines Form

Several factors are responsible for the formation of marionette lines (or corner-of-the-mouth wrinkles, mentolabial folds). Firstly, as people age, their skin naturally loses elasticity. This is due, for example, to the decreasing production of the protein elastin, which is essential for skin firmness and elasticity. The same applies to other substances like collagen.

As the aging process progresses, facial fat naturally diminishes. This also leads to the development of wrinkles, which become deeper over time.

Marionette lines can also be caused by facial muscle activity. People who frequently make facial expressions or have strong facial expressions can develop rapid corner-of-the-mouth wrinkles.

Furthermore, an unfavorable position of the jaw can contribute to the increased appearance of marionette lines. Lastly, lifestyle choices are also significant. Just like with other wrinkles, factors such as diet, smoking, and alcohol consumption can influence wrinkle formation.

How Can Marionette Lines Be Medically Treated (Botulinum Toxin, Hyaluronic Acid)?

There are several procedures that can alleviate or even remove marionette lines. If a lack of volume is the main cause of wrinkle formation, filling with hyaluronic acid is an ideal treatment. Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring substance in the body that binds moisture. The hyaluronic acid filler is injected into the affected facial areas, replenishing the lost volume.

The treatment can be virtually painless and causes minimal side effects. In cases where marionette lines are primarily caused by facial expressions, botulinum toxin is the preferred option. Injection of this substance relaxes the contributing muscles, resulting in a significant reduction in wrinkles.

A combination of botulinum toxin and hyaluronic acid is also possible and can be a highly effective treatment for marionette lines. At our AVORYA Clinic - Source of Beauty in Zurich, we also offer Liquid Facelift for the treatment of marionette lines. This involves hyaluronic acid injections into the affected areas of the skin. This helps to replenish volume and counteract the gravitational forces that pull down facial areas.

Comprehensive Consultation

Before each treatment, a detailed consultation takes place. This helps us determine the best approach for the individual situation. Liquid Facelift is the treatment of choice when wrinkles have formed due to a loss of volume or a decrease in bone mass in deeper layers.

How Can Marionette Lines Be Prevented (Corner-of-the-Mouth Wrinkles)?

It is not possible to completely prevent the formation of marionette lines because they naturally occur with skin aging. However, their onset can be delayed or their pronounced appearance can be prevented. Sun exposure plays a significant role, just as with other wrinkles. If possible, direct exposure to sunlight should be limited in terms of frequency and duration. This helps slow down wrinkle formation.

Additionally, maintaining a balanced diet rich in fruits and vegetables is essential. The vitamins and minerals found in these foods can greatly influence skin protection and aging. It is also important to stay hydrated throughout the day to keep the skin elastic. Smoking is harmful to the skin, accelerating the aging process.

Regular alcohol consumption can also have a negative impact, as can stress. Those who avoid alcohol, manage stress effectively, and ensure regular and sufficient sleep can actively work to slow down wrinkle formation and prevent them from becoming too deep.
