Smoothing Cosmetic Treatments to Soften Wrinkles Around the Mouth
At Queensland Skin & Laser, we understand that marionette lines—those vertical wrinkles extending from the corners of the mouth to the chin—can contribute to an appearance that may not reflect your true emotions. These lines can create a downturned expression, leading to concerns about looking unhappy or aged.
Our doctor-led cosmetic medical treatments are designed to smooth these lines while preserving your natural facial expressions. With a focus on patient safety, medical expertise, and personalised care, we offer tailored treatments in our Brisbane clinic to help you achieve a natural and balanced appearance.
What Causes Marionette Lines?
Marionette lines develop due to a combination of factors:
- Ageing: As we age, collagen and elastin production decreases, leading to reduced skin elasticity and the formation of wrinkles.
- Facial Expressions: Repeated muscle movements, such as smiling or frowning, can cause creases to form over time.
- Genetics: Individual genetic makeup can influence skin structure and the propensity to develop marionette lines.
- Sun Exposure: Ultraviolet (UV) radiation accelerates skin ageing by breaking down collagen and elastin fibres.
- Lifestyle Factors: Smoking, poor nutrition, and inadequate hydration can impair skin health, making it more susceptible to wrinkle development.
Benefits of
Marionette Lines Treatment
Addressing marionette lines offers several benefits that contribute to a softer and more natural appearance:
- By reducing the depth and prominence of marionette lines, treatments lead to a smoother skin texture, diminishing the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines around the mouth and chin.
- Softening these lines can reduce the downturned expression they often cause, resulting in a more approachable and cheerful appearance that reflects your true emotions.
- Early intervention can stop the progression of marionette lines, preventing them from becoming more pronounced over time. Proactive treatments stimulate collagen production and maintain skin elasticity, effectively delaying further signs of ageing.
- Improving the appearance of marionette lines can make you more comfortable and positive about your facial aesthetics.
- Many effective treatments for marionette lines are minimally invasive, offering significant improvements without the need for surgery and with minimal downtime, making them accessible and convenient options.

When to Consider
Marionette Lines Treatments
Deciding to seek treatment for marionette lines is a personal decision influenced by various factors.
You might consider treatment if these lines are noticeable even when your face is relaxed, as this indicates they have become more pronounced over time. Additionally, if you observe a deepening of these wrinkles, it may be a sign that the natural ageing process is reducing skin elasticity and collagen production. Early intervention can help prevent further development and may offer more effective results.
Consulting with an experienced cosmetic doctor can provide personalised advice and treatment options tailored to your specific needs and aesthetic goals.
Our Marionette Lines
Treatment Options
At our cosmetic medical clinic in Brisbane, we offer personalised treatment plans to address marionette lines, tailored to each individual’s unique needs and concerns. Our comprehensive approach includes a variety of advanced procedures designed to rejuvenate and enhance your natural appearance. Treatment options may include:
Skin Smoothing Treatment
This non-surgical procedure targets the muscles responsible for expression lines, helping to soften fine lines and smooth deep creases around the mouth area.
HIFU Skin Tightening
High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) technology lifts and tightens sagging skin by stimulating collagen production, effectively addressing skin laxity associated with marionette lines.
Radiofrequency Needling
Combining microneedling with radiofrequency energy, this treatment tightens skin and reduces the appearance of wrinkles, enhancing skin elasticity and minimising deep lines over time.
LED Light Therapy
Utilising specific wavelengths of light, this non-invasive treatment stimulates skin cells, promoting healing and improving skin texture, which can help in reducing the appearance of marionette lines.
Our experienced cosmetic doctors will conduct a thorough assessment of your skin to recommend the most suitable combination of treatments, ensuring a natural result that aligns with your aesthetic goals.
Preventing Marionette Lines
Marionette lines are a natural aspect of ageing, but certain proactive measures can help delay their onset and reduce their prominence:
- Daily Sun Protection – Apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen with at least SPF 30 every day to shield your skin from harmful UV rays that accelerate collagen and elastin degradation.
- Maintain Skin Hydration – Keep your skin well-hydrated by using quality moisturisers containing ingredients like hyaluronic acid, which helps retain moisture and supports skin elasticity.
- Adopt a Healthy Lifestyle – Consume a balanced diet rich in antioxidants and omega-3 fatty acids to nourish your skin from within. Regular exercise promotes circulation, and avoiding smoking prevents collagen breakdown, all contributing to overall skin vitality.
- Establish a Consistent Skincare Routine – Incorporate products with retinoids, peptides, and antioxidants to support skin health and resilience.
- Practice Facial Exercises – Engage in targeted facial exercises to strengthen and tone the muscles around the mouth and chin, potentially reducing the appearance of marionette lines.
