WHAT CAUSES MARIONETTE WRINKLES?

The appearance of angular wrinkles in the mouth can be caused by various causes, but occurs mainly through the natural aging process. As a result, the tissue of the cheek and lower jaw continues to contract, forming wrinkles. Skin tension and elasticity begin to decrease around 25 years of age, with the first wrinkles appearing between 30 and 40 years of age.

HOW IS THE TREATMENT DONE?

The treatment aims to eliminate the cause of this cascade of events that lead to the formation of wrinkles, by supporting the facial tissues of the middle third of the face. Using hyaluronic acid of the highest quality and in the correct density, we inject into areas previously determined and personalized for each patient, where a relaxation of the traction elements of the skin is diagnosed. This process of support may extend to the periosteum of the bones that form the foundation of the face.

IS THE TREATMENT PAINFUL?

Although the treatment may extend to a bone depth in the middle of the face, the patient does not feel pain. The injected material has an anaesthetic substance that acts immediately during injection. A slight discomfort may be felt but is not common. Analgesic facial ointment may be applied prior to the procedure, if desired.
