What Are Marionette Lines?
Marionette lines are the vertical creases that extend from the corners of the mouth down towards the chin. They form as the skin loses collagen, elasticity, and structural support over time, often accompanied by gradual volume loss in the lower face.
As these lines deepen, they can soften facial definition and subtly alter expression, sometimes creating a downturned or tired appearance, even when you feel well and energetic.
When Your Expression No Longer Reflects How You Feel
Marionette lines often develop slowly, almost unnoticed at first. Over time, they can draw the eye downward, casting shadows that make the lower face appear heavier or less lifted.
At Lux Derm, our approach focuses on softening the signs of time while preserving the warmth and expressiveness that make your smile uniquely yours.
How to Prevent Marionette Lines
Prioritise Skin Health
Use skincare containing peptides, antioxidants, hyaluronic acid, and retinoids to encourage firmness and texture.
Protect with Daily SPF
UV protection is essential for preventing premature collagen degradation.
Stay Hydrated & Nourished
Adequate hydration and a diet rich in vitamins C and E support skin elasticity from within.
Preventative Treatments & Maintenance
Subtle, proactive aesthetic treatments can help maintain facial support before deeper lines develop.
