Marionette Lines In Honolulu, HI

Introduction

Marionette Lines

intro-marionette-lines
The older we get, our skin loses fat and produces less collagen, which can lead to early signs of aging, such as wrinkles, hollowness, and folds. Marionette lines are wrinkles at the corners of your mouth. These lines are the result of aging and other causes. For many patients who want to maintain their youthful vibrance, Marionette Lines can affect their self-esteem. At our clinic in Honolulu, HI, Dr. Larry Schlesinger offers a range of non-invasive cosmetic treatments that can reduce the severity of Marionette Lines, making your skin look youthful and supple once again.

What are Marionette Lines?

Marionette lines, also called melomental folds, are creases that extend from the corners of your mouth to your chin. Marionette lines appear below nasolabial folds. The name comes from marionette string puppets, which have pronounced vertical lines in the same place. Marionette lines may be mild, moderate, or severe.

Most people will get marionette lines as they age. However, some people may be more prone to developing these lines sooner or have more visible, deeper lines. For example, people who smoke and don’t use sun protection may form marionette lines early or have more prominent wrinkles. Marionette lines typically appear around age 40, however, you may see faint or subtle lines at the corners of your mouth in your 20s and 30s.

What to expect on the day of a Marionette Lines Treatment

On the day of your treatment, when you arrive at our clinic, you will fill out consent paperwork before being taken into the procedure room, where Dr. Schlesinger will walk you through the steps of the treatment that you have chosen to reduce your marionette lines.
Although the procedures are non-invasive, the first step is to apply a numbing agent to reduce discomfort and minimize pain.

The second step will be to focus on the lines around your mouth, using the specific techniques and tools that Botox, Restylane, Juvederm, Perlane, Sculptra, or Radiesse require. There are injectables, laser applications, and needling processes used, that can take anywhere from 20 mins to 1 hour, depending on the severity of your Marionette Lines, and the result you are looking for. Each procedure requires a different tool and a varying technique, which Dr. Schlesinger will explain.

Once Dr. Schlesinger has finished, you will have the chance to look over his work to ensure you are happy with the procedure.

Since the procedures are non-invasive, you will be able to resume regular activities after your appointment.
