What are Marionette Lines?
Marionette Lines are facial wrinkles caused by the loss of collagen due to the ageing effect. The lines run vertically between the mouth and chin, which can also create sagging in the lower half of your face. Gravity and loss of muscle tone also play a role in sagging skin, making Marionette Lines more noticeable. Long-term sun exposure, stress, smoking and poor diet can also contribute to Marionette Lines.
What are Nasolabial Folds?
Nasolabial folds are creases in your skin extending from both sides of your nose to the side of your mouth. They are also called smile lines or laugh lines. These lines can instantly add age to your appearance. Everyone has Nasolabial folds, but they tend to deepen with age due to factors like the natural loss of collagen, elasticity in the skin, and facial muscle movements over time.
Tightening treatments with HIFU and firming resurfacing treatments with RF Microneedling can help to reduce heaviness on the lower face.
