Supporting Skin Structure Around the Mouth and Chin
Marionette lines are the vertical creases that extend from the corners of the mouth toward the chin. These lines commonly appear as part of the natural ageing process and may be influenced by factors such as skin laxity, repeated facial movement, or changes in facial volume.
At Aesthetic Nurse Irina’s clinic, we support individuals seeking to address marionette lines through personalised, non-surgical treatments. Our approach focuses on restoring structure in the lower face, supporting skin firmness and promoting a smoother skin surface using techniques tailored to each client’s needs.
What Are Marionette Lines?
Marionette lines are vertical creases that run from the corners of the mouth down toward the chin. They are a common type of facial line that tends to develop over time due to natural changes in skin structure and facial volume. While they vary in depth and visibility, marionette lines are often associated with skin laxity and movement in the lower face.
What Causes Marionette Lines?
Marionette lines typically form due to a combination of natural ageing and other contributing factors. These lines can become more prominent over time due to:
- Loss of Facial Volume: A reduction in collagen and structural support in the lower face can lead to visible lines forming around the mouth and chin.
- Muscle Movement: Repeated facial expressions may contribute to the deepening of lines in the lower face.
- Skin Laxity: As the skin’s elasticity diminishes, it becomes more prone to folding and sagging.
- External Factors: Sun exposure, environmental stressors and lifestyle habits can also accelerate the development of marionette lines.
How We Treat Marionette Lines
At Aesthetic Nurse Irina’s clinic, marionette lines are addressed using a personalised combination of techniques designed to improve facial balance and support the skin’s structural integrity. Our approach is grounded in non-surgical treatments that are customised to suit each client’s needs.
Treatment Options May Include:
Emface Skin Rejuvenation
EMFACE is an innovative treatment designed to support facial muscle tone while improving skin firmness, offering a non-invasive alternative for those seeking a refreshed appearance and a reduction of marionette lines.
Volume & Contour
Cosmetic fillers can be used to restore lost volume in the lower face, particularly around the corners of the mouth and along the chin. This added support can help reduce the appearance of marionette lines by gently lifting the skin and improving facial proportions.
Wrinkle Reduction
This method targets the underlying muscle activity contributing to the formation of marionette lines. By softening specific muscle movements, this approach helps to prevent further deepening of these lines and can support a more even skin surface over time.
Collagen Stimulation
Designed to promote natural collagen production, this treatment works gradually to improve the firmness and texture of the skin. As collagen levels rebuild, the lower face can appear more supported and skin structure more resilient in the areas affected by marionette lines.

Personalised Approach to Treatment
No two clients are the same and marionette lines can present differently depending on age, skin quality and facial anatomy. That’s why we take a personalised approach, beginning with a consultation to understand your goals and recommend a treatment plan aligned with your unique concerns.
During this process, we assess facial volume, skin laxity and muscle movement to determine the most suitable options. The plan may include one or a combination of the above treatments, administered over a course that aligns with your skin’s natural response timeline.

What causes marionette lines on the face?
They typically result from a combination of natural ageing, repeated facial movement, reduced skin elasticity and changes in facial volume or support structures.
