One of the most dreaded signs of aging is the appearance of marionette lines. These lines refer to the creases which form near the corners of your lips, extending down to your chin, making you appear grim and scornful. Dr. Steven Wallach is a Manhattan board-certified plastic surgeon offering a wide array of Manhattan facial fillers to fight marionette lines.
How Marionette Lines Develop
The development of marionette lines is heavily attributed to the gradual loss of collagen brought about by aging. While some people do not develop such creases, majority of the population are genetically inclined to have marionette lines while they aged. Other factors which could contribute to its appearance include smoking, diet, overexposure to the sun, and environmental conditions.
Restylane, Perlane and Juvederm in Manhattan
These injectables are all derived from hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring substance in the body responsible for providing volume to your skin.
Restylane is preferred in reducing the appearance of fine lines around the upper and lower eyelids because of its small particle size. it is also used in softening smile and frown lines as well as fill in acne scars. Perlane, on the other hand, is often used to treat moderate to severe wrinkles situated between the nose and lips. For deeper folds and wrinkles, Juvederm is preferred. It is also used in adding volume to the upper face. If you have noticed the early signs of marionette lines, you might want to quit your smoking habits, exercise more, avoid prolonged sun exposure, and consume lots of whole food sources.
