Marionette lines, those subtle shadows extending from the corners of the mouth down towards the jawline, are aptly named after marionette dolls. They often form as a result of reduced skin collagen and mid-face volume loss, causing facial skin to descend towards the jawline and leading to the development of marionette lines.

City Dock Clinic is pleased to offer an effective solution for addressing marionette lines through our dedicated filler treatment. Our approach is in line with achieving results that are both noticeable and naturally subtle. Marionette lines can be effectively treated through the use of dermal fillers, mini-threads, and thread-lifts.

In particular, dermal fillers are strategically injected in the area between the chin, jawline, and the corner of the mouth. This process aims to re-contour the region, provide vital support to the corners of the mouth, and diminish the appearance of marionette shadows.

At City Dock Clinic, we prioritise enhancing your natural beauty while ensuring it perfectly aligns with the unique proportions of your face. Our marionette lines filler treatment offers an elegant and rejuvenating solution to help you achieve a more harmonious and refreshed appearance. Contact us today to schedule a consultation and take the first step toward a youthful, balanced, and subtly enhanced look.

FAQ

  • Will It Work For Me?

    Dermal filler treatments work well for replenishing lost volume and accentuating your features. If you're thinking about this treatment, it's advised to chat with one of our experienced clinician for guidance. The good news is, fillers can be used on all skin types.

    However, there are situations where we'd advise against fillers. If you're pregnant, breastfeeding, certain health issues, have active acne or an infection in the treatment area, or have had allergies to dermal fillers or similar products in the past, it might not be suitable. We'll assess your suitability for the treatment during your consultation.

  • Do I Need A Patch-Test?

    No.

  • How Many Sessions Will I Need?

    You'll often see the best results after one to two sessions. If you need additional treatment, we typically recommend waiting for two weeks to ensure any swelling or bruising has had time to fade.

  • Is It Painful?

    The injections are not painful. To make the experience even more soothing, we offer numbing cream, numbing injections, and skin cooling. Moreover, many of our dermal fillers contain anesthetics within the filler itself, ensuring additional pain relief during the process.

  • Will There Be Any Side-Effects?

    Like most injections, you might experience some redness, swelling, tenderness, and bruising, which could take 2-3 days to go away, and bruises sometimes even longer. It's a good idea not to schedule your treatments right before important commitments. Give yourself at least a two-week buffer between your treatment and any significant social or work events.

  • Who Will Do The Treatment?

    Our skilled and experienced clinicians handle all our injectable treatments. You can feel confident that our entire team is dedicated to providing you with top-notch care.

  • What Do I Need To Prepare Beforehand?

    Before your treatment, it's a good idea to steer clear of blood-thinning medications like aspirin or ibuprofen (unless prescribed by your doctor) for three days. And if possible, try to skip alcohol for a day before your treatment. We'll need you to be around for a follow-up afterward, so it's best not to schedule your injectable treatment if you're planning to travel in the next two weeks.

  • Can Filler Be Removed

    Dermal fillers like Juvederm, Teosyal, Stylage, Restylane, and Belotero, which are made from hyaluronic acid, can be reversed. This reversal process entails an injection of water containing an enzyme called Hyaluronidase. This enzyme swiftly and painlessly breaks down the filler, restoring your skin to its natural state.

  • How Long Will Result Last?

    How long your results last typically varies based on the treated area, the product chosen, and your individual metabolism. In general, most patients find that a follow-up treatment is necessary only once every 9-12 months.
