Erase Marionette Lines and Restore a Youthful Lift at Allurant Medical Spa
When lines around the mouth start to pull your expression downward, they can leave you looking more tired or serious than you really are. At Allurant Medical Spa, we treat marionette lines with innovative, noninvasive solutions that smooth, lift, and rejuvenate the lower face; helping you look as vibrant and confident as you feel.
What Are Marionette Lines?
Marionette lines, which run from the corners of the mouth to the chin, often appear as skin loses firmness and volume over time. These folds can cause a subtly downturned look, but modern aesthetic treatments can beautifully smooth and lift the lower face for a refreshed, naturally radiant appearance.

What Causes Marionette Lines?
- Natural aging: Skin loses elasticity and firmness over time, leading to sagging in the lower face.
- Repetitive facial expressions: Smiling, frowning, or pursing the lips over years can deepen lines.
- Sun Exposure: UV exposure weakens skin and accelerates aging, contributing to deeper folds.
- Gravity: Over time, the downward pull of gravity causes the skin to sag, especially in the lower face.
Signs & Symptoms of Marionette Lines
- Vertical folds or creases extending from the corners of the mouth down toward the chin.
- Skin laxity or sagging around the lower face and chin.
- Loss of facial balance or symmetry in the lower face.
- Downturned corners of the mouth, creating a sad or tired expression.
- Shadows along the lines, which can make the lower face appear heavier or more aged.
