Marionette lines

We soften marionette lines with hyaluronic acid for a kinder, more rested expression.

Marionette lines

What it involves

Marionette lines are the grooves that run down from the corners of the mouth towards the chin and which, over the years, tend to deepen due to loss of volume and sagging in the lower face. When they become more marked, they can give a sterner or sadder look than you actually feel. To address them, Dr. Clara Navarro assesses your face individually and, when indicated, uses hyaluronic acid to support the tissue and soften the groove, always keeping your expression unmistakably yours.

Who is it for?

It may be for you if you notice the lines running from the corners of your mouth towards your chin have deepened, giving you a tired or sad look that doesn't match how you feel. Also if you want a discreet result without changing your features. In your first consultation we assess your face as a whole to confirm whether hyaluronic acid is the right option for you.

What the session is like

The session begins with an assessment to plan where and how much product to apply on each side. We place the hyaluronic acid with precise technique, usually using small amounts and topical anaesthetic for your comfort. The treatment usually takes around 30 minutes and you can return to your routine the same day.

Results and how long they last

You will notice an improvement within the first few days, and the result settles naturally over one to two weeks. How long it lasts varies from person to person and with the type of product, but it usually holds for several months. With occasional check-ups we help maintain the effect over time.

Aftercare

After the session it is normal to notice slight redness or mild swelling that settles quickly. We recommend avoiding intense heat, strenuous exercise and touching the area during the first 24 hours. Follow the instructions we give you and contact the clinic with any questions.

Frequently asked questions

Does treating marionette lines hurt?
It is a very tolerable technique. We use topical anaesthetic and the hyaluronic acid usually includes an anaesthetic that makes the session comfortable. Most people feel only mild discomfort.
Will I look like a different person?
No. Our aim is a natural result that softens the groove and brings a kinder expression without changing how you look. We work in a measured way so you appear more rested, not like a different person.
Are they often treated together with other areas?
Sometimes, yes. Because marionette lines depend on the support of the whole lower face, during the assessment the doctor may discuss whether treating nearby areas would help achieve a harmonious result. It is always decided individually and without pressure.
