For Those Who Don’t Know What Marionette Lines Are, Forena Clinic Will Explain! 👀

What are marionette lines?

Hello! This is Forena Clinic.

Today, we’ll take a look at marionette lines!

What is a marionette, too?

Marionette lines

Marionette lines are wrinkles that run from the corners of the mouth down to the jawline.

They are named because they resemble the mouth area of a marionette puppet. As we age, skin elasticity decreases,

and wrinkles form as the skin sags due to gravity. This is a type of aging phenomenon.

Marionette lines are a natural part of skin aging,

but they are also an area that can be improved through consistent care and appropriate procedures.

Main causes of marionette lines

1. Natural skin aging

As we age, the collagen and elastin fibers that maintain skin elasticity decrease,

causing the skin to sag.

2. Changes in muscles and fat, and gravity

Under the influence of gravity, facial fat and muscles droop downward, deepening wrinkles,

and a reduction in the volume of facial muscles and fat causes the skin to lose support and sag.

3. Genetic factors

Genetically, some people may be more prone to developing marionette lines.

※ Additional notes Marionette lines are also related to jowls and “bulldog cheeks.”

They are sometimes used to mean the same thing, and although their shapes and forms differ,

they share the common point of referring to wrinkles caused by sagging skin around the mouth due to aging.

Bulldog cheeks can also be a cause of marionette lines.

Skin-related issues are often caused not by a single factor, but by the combined effect of several factors.

Depending on which cause is having the greatest impact, the appropriate improvement method may differ.

Marionette lines Q&A

I gained weight and got marionette lines.

Do I need a procedure or care for this too?

For reference, I’m in my 20s.

First of all, the term marionette lines

does not refer only to wrinkles caused by aging,

but to wrinkles that extend vertically from the corners of the mouth down to the jawline,

so marionette lines caused by weight gain are also possible.

However, whether a procedure is necessary, or whether it can be resolved through dieting,

you should visit a dermatology clinic in person

or consult with a specialist.

Since you said you’re in your 20s, it may be a case that can be resolved with dieting aloneㅠ!
