[Sio Clinic] Marionette Line Treatment Methods <Filler vs. Collagen Booster>

Hello.

This is Sio Clinic, specializing in marionette line treatments.

​

Marionette lines are

one of the normal contours of the face.

​

They are not wrinkles that appear with age,

even newborns have them.

​

Completely eliminating them would look unnatural,

so some degree of contour is necessary.

Marionette lines can be broadly divided into two types.

​

· Static wrinkles: wrinkles visible even when the face is at rest.

· Dynamic wrinkles: wrinkles that appear when smiling or talking.

​

​

First, let me explain the causes of static wrinkles.

Static wrinkles are those visible when the face is at rest.

​

Fat decomposition

Fat migration

Loss of skin elasticity

Weakening of supporting structures

-> Lifting procedures may be helpful depending on the cause.

However, for marionette lines, treatments that directly fill volume, such as collagen boosters or fillers, must be administered to the correct location to achieve proper results.

​

​

If you'd like to know how to address static wrinkles,

Volume restoration for sunken areas: Filler or Collagen Booster

Generally recommended dosage is 1-2cc (per side).

More important than the dosage are the injection site, the layer, and the supporting direction of the filler.

Next, I will explain the causes of dynamic wrinkles.

​

Skin elasticity

Repetitive muscle movements

Skin folding during movement

​

can be factors.

​

​

For dynamic wrinkles,

​

Simply filling the volume may not be sufficient.

This type of wrinkle requires elasticity improvement.

Wrinkle fillers, wrinkle improvement lifting procedures, or skin boosters are needed.

​

There is a caution here!

Excessive volume augmentation, especially in the marionette area, can cause loss of facial contours, making the face appear flat.

It can also make the mouth area look dull and the face appear puffy, leading to an unnatural impression.

Furthermore, the loss of structural three-dimensionality can result in an impression that is perceived as unnatural.

​

For clients seeking improvement in the marionette area,

at our Sio Clinic,

we evaluate the following factors:

Whether it is a static or dynamic wrinkle.

What kind of improvement is desired (e.g., when at rest, taking photos, smiling, talking, etc.).

Balance with the cheekbones.

Balance with the volume of the mid-cheek and side-cheek.

Presence of accompanying marionette lines.

Jawline condition.

​

Treatment should be tailored to each individual's balance.

If you do not wish for treatment in other areas, the marionette area treatment must be adjusted according to the overall balance.

​

​

​

Not excessive,

Balanced,

Precise location over dosage,

Considering the overall structure rather than just the marionette area (not just looking at the sunken marionette area),

Maintaining three-dimensionality is necessary.

​

These factors must be considered together to properly improve the sunkenness in the marionette area.

​

We offer various treatments for marionette lines, including Hilo Wave for marionette fillers, as well as various lifting procedures, fillers, collagen boosters, and lifting treatments.

We recommend visiting us anytime for a consultation.
