Marionette Lines

At Dr Sankeerth Reddy’s clinic, the following cosmetic treatments are available to effectively treat marionette lines:

Dermal Fillers

Hyaluronic acid-based dermal fillers are an effective option for treating marionette lines. By adding volume beneath the skin, these fillers lift sagging areas, smoothing out deep lines around the corners of the mouth. Fillers also support the surrounding facial structures, improving skin elasticity and reducing the prominence of marionette lines for a more balanced appearance.

Botulinum Toxin

This treatment works by relaxing the facial muscles around marionette lines, preventing them from deepening further due to repeated expressions. By targeting specific muscles like the Depressor anguli oris (DAO), botulinum toxin helps to soften the appearance of marionette lines, reducing tension in the lower face and enhancing facial symmetry over time.

Collagen Bio-Stimulators

These treatments stimulate the body’s natural collagen production, improving skin texture and elasticity over time. Collagen bio-stimulators provide a gradual reduction in marionette lines as the skin becomes firmer and more resilient, offering long-lasting improvements without the need for frequent maintenance.

Thread Lift

Thread lifts utilize specially designed, biocompatible threads to lift and tighten skin. These threads are carefully inserted beneath the skin’s surface, creating a supportive structure that:

1. Immediately lifts sagging tissue
2. Stimulates collagen production over time

The threads are composed of Polydioxanone (PDO), Polycaprolactone (PCL) or Poly-L-Lactic Acid (PLLA), material that’s safely absorbed by the body over several months. During this time, the threads trigger a healing response, encouraging your skin to produce new collagen and elastin.

Microneedle RF

This innovative technique works by delivering controlled RF energy deep into the skin through ultra-fine needles, stimulating collagen production and tightening tissues. Unlike traditional methods, microneedle RF provides more targeted and effective results with minimal downtime. Patients typically require a series of 3-4 sessions, each lasting about 30-45 minutes, to achieve optimal outcomes. The treatment boasts several advantages, including improved skin texture, reduced fine lines, and a more youthful appearance.

High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU)

High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) offers a promising solution for individuals seeking to address marionette lines, those downward-turning creases that extend from the corners of the mouth to the chin. This non-invasive treatment utilizes focused ultrasound energy to penetrate deep into the skin’s foundational layers, precisely targeting the areas affected by marionette lines. By delivering controlled thermal energy, HIFU stimulates the production of new collagen, a crucial protein for skin elasticity and firmness. This collagen stimulation process leads to gradual and natural-looking skin tightening, effectively diminishing the appearance of marionette lines over time.

Electrical Muscle Stimulation (EMS)

Electrical Muscle Stimulation (EMS) offers a novel approach to combating marionette lines. This non-invasive treatment works by delivering gentle electrical impulses to the facial muscles, effectively toning and tightening the facial muscles in the area. This allows for a defined jawline and counteracts the sagging skin.
