At the age of 30, I've developed deep marionette lines and smile lines. What are some of the non invasive ways to treat them?

Hi @meRia143. I recommend a combination treatment of both dermal fillers and Morpheus 8. Morpheus 8 is a non-surgical treatment for full body skin resurfacing, skin tightening, and fat reduction of stubborn areas. It uses minimally invasive fractional radiofrequency energy (RF) to penetrate the skin deeper than other microneedling devices, triggering the skin’s natural healing response to promote skin tightening and lifting.

Best of luck,

Dr. Nima

There are a lot of options for improving the marionette lines and this often means fillers for the lines themselves but also lifting around the mouth and cheeks to build underlying anatomical support. In our practice we combine sculptra with other fillers "layered" on top and lasers, rf treatments/ultherapy and peels to get the most conservative natural look. Please see a facial sculpting expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Thanks for sharing your question. Dermal fillers such as Restylane Refyne/Defyne and Juvederm Vollure are popular injectable treatments for laugh lines (nasolabial folds, marionette lines). I would recommend combining these injectable treatments with good sun protection, an antioxidant, hyaluronic acid based moisturizer, and retinol for best long term results. Good luck!
