is it normal or common for marionette lines (lines extending from the corner of the mouth to the lower chin) to start forming from above the corner of the mouth and create a fold above the upper lip? is this an issue with my lips or skin/tissue or just a normal occurrence & what can I do to treat it? collagen inducing treatments, micro needling, skin resurfacing, since i’m not thinking of doing filler? any answers to these questions is much appreciated thanks for your time doctors :)
Answer: Morpheus8 can help reduce appearance of these Morpheus 8 is a non-invasive skin and soft tissue tightening treatment that is consistently amazing in our patients. We use the Morpheus to exact fractional induced RF into the skin or tissue in order to tighten collagen and stimulate contraction of the tissue. For acne scars, it is quite useful to build collagen in patients who have atrophic scars but is not very productive for ice-pick scars which require TCA Cross. For tissue tightening, Morpheus is ideal for the face and neck and we often combine it with CO2 laser or Ultherapy to further enhance results. Chemical peels and skin resurfacing should be done at least 5 to 7 days after, but can be performed earlier, depending on treatment severity. Avoid exfoliating skin treatments before Morpheus and expect a period of 2-4 weeks for skin contraction to set in.

Answer: Laugh Lines / Nasolabial Folds - Fillers + Sculptra, Lasers like Fraxel/Clear + Brilliant, Radiofrequency, Peels, Skin Care I recommend fillers to soften the nasolabial folds themselves and also lift around the mouth and cheeks to build underlying anatomical support. In our practice we combine Sculptra with other fillers "layered" on top and lasers, skin tightening treatments such as Thermage, Fractora, and Renuvion (J Plasma), thread lifting, and peels to get the most conservative, natural look. I suggest seeing a facial sculpting expert for a formal consultation. Best, Dr. Emer

Answer: Nasolabial & Marionette Lines Marionette lines are vertical wrinkles that extend from the corners of your mouth to your chin. They are caused by natural aging, genetics, sun exposure, smoking, and other factors. It is not very common for marionette lines to start forming from above the corner of the mouth and create a fold above the upper lip. This may be due to the shape and size of your lips, the movement of the muscles around your mouth, or the loss of volume and elasticity in your skin.Collagen-inducing treatments are topical creams, serums, or supplements that claim to stimulate the production of collagen in your skin. Collagen is a protein that gives your skin firmness and smoothness. Microneedling is a minimally invasive procedure that involves creating tiny punctures in your skin with fine needles. Dermal fillers are injectable substances that fill in the spaces under your skin where volume has been lost due to aging. Dermal fillers can plump up your lips, smooth out marionette lines and nasolabial folds, and restore a more youthful contour to your face. Some of the common fillers are hyaluronic acid, calcium hydroxylapatite, poly-L-lactic acid, and polymethyl methacrylate.I hope this information was helpful.

Answer: For smoothing lines and indentations, we often recommend the Vampire Facial It is not common that nasolabial folds and marionette lines result in a fold in the upper lip. This could be a natural progression for your unique skin type, or it could be the result of a previous treatment or other environmental factors.
