Does Botox work for marionette lines?

Botox is not the correct product to treat marionette lines. Fillers are commonly used to improve this area. Other treatments like Morpheus8 can improve skin tone and texture. See an expert injector to learn more.

Thank you for your good question. Marionette lines, the lines that form from the corners of the mouth to the chin, are caused by collagen depletion, which is a natural part of the aging process. The best way to treat wrinkles caused by collagen loss is with injectable dermal fillers, not Botox. Botox is a neuromodulator that works by relaxing facial muscles that lead to the formation of some wrinkles. It is most commonly used in lines of the upper face, such as forehead wrinkles and crow's feet. Make sure you work with an experienced, qualified injector to ensure the best possible results from your procedure.

Hello @MeUCantSee thank you for your question. Sometimes when we frown really hard there is a line and if it is very deep is a fold. Botox is used to avoid the contraction of the muscle that forms the expressions lines and that those lines don't become folds. The marionette lines can not be treated with botox but it can be fill with hyaluronic acid because the filler that can elevate volume and the line does not show. Best wishes!

Thank you for sharing your question. Unfortunately Botox does not work on marionette lines, you would need to consider filler for these.

botox doesnt work for marionette lines these need skin tightening like threads, morpheus and fillers.

at home peels like cosmelan, enlighten and aerify along with dermarolling (EmerageSkin roller with anteage AERIFY MD ampules weekly, see link) should be started now to prevent further aging.

For facial rejuvenation, I would suggest a combination approach of
1) skin care with products and PRP/microneedling
2) PDT light therapy few times a month with growth factors
3) laser treatments like clear and brilliant or moxi regularly and a few times a year Fraxel/halo Viva, Co2/Erbium
4) Sculptra injections a few times a year for collagen production with fillers like juvederm/restylane/belotero/radiesse/bellafill
5) thermage/ultherapy for yearly skin tightening with or without PDO or cone based instalift threads for lifting
6) botox every 2-3 months to stop movement lines and prevent lines at rest
7) deep microneedling RF like Fractora/morpheus8/pixel8 for tightening of the skin
8) Vascular laser like vbeam/excel V or BBL forever young treatment every quarter (3-4 months)

Best, Dr. Emer.
