Time leaves its mark on our face – over the years, connective tissue and skin lose firmness, causing so-called marionette lines to form from the corner of the mouth to the jawline. At Aesthetify, we correct these lines with a hyaluronic acid injection to visibly reduce them. The filler fills the hollow from within, giving the skin a smoother and more relaxed appearance. The minimally invasive treatment is tailored individually to your facial features so that your natural expressions are preserved and your face continues to look authentic.
From the first consultation to aftercare, we are by your side – guiding you step by step through the injection treatment of your marionette lines.
At Aesthetify, you are in the best hands: our experienced doctors* specialise in natural-looking wrinkle injections with hyaluronic acid and guide you through your treatment with expertise and empathy.

Say goodbye to marionette lines – find out how they form and how hyaluronic acid can restore more harmony to your face.
Marionette lines – also known as mouth corner lines or mentolabial folds – run from the corner of the mouth to the chin. They owe their name to their resemblance to the face of a marionette, whose lower jaw can flap down. The good news: marionette lines can be treated in a minimally invasive and gentle way.
Marionette lines form when the skin sags from the upper third of the face. This can lead to jowls and lines forming beneath the corners of the mouth. The main cause is the natural ageing process: over time, the skin loses elasticity and volume, which can lead to lines forming. However, facial expressions, genetic predisposition, and environmental factors such as sun exposure or smoking can also be a cause of these lines. We usually recommend a combination treatment, for example cheekbone augmentation, a thread lift, or an injection treatment of the chin and jawline, to specifically remove marionette lines.
We inject hyaluronic acid where natural volume has been lost, firming the tissue in the process. Hyaluronic acid is a substance that also occurs naturally in the body, where it stores moisture in the connective tissue. It can bind many times its own weight in water – which is why it's so well suited as a filler: once injected beneath the skin, it plumps up the tissue, binds moisture, and makes the skin appear fuller and smoother. Regular hyaluronic acid injections can also lead to firmer skin in the long term through collagen formation.
At Aesthetify, we champion the ideal of natural aesthetics. That's why we don't treat marionette lines in isolation, but consider your face as a whole. Depending on your individual starting point, it can make sense not only to inject the lines themselves, but also to harmonise other areas of the face in a targeted way. Jawline injections or chin or cheekbone augmentation can help balance the facial contours and create a fresh appearance. This way, the result blends harmoniously into your natural features – without looking artificial or "overdone".

From medical consultation and high-quality products to being reachable after the treatment: at Aesthetify, your safety is our top priority.
Your marionette lines are injected exclusively by experienced doctors. The entire treatment, from analysis to injection, is in medically trained hands.
We use a highly cross-linked hyaluronic acid from the premium segment of the world market leader. It is excellently tolerated and offers one of the longest durabilities on the market.
Before the injection treatment, we provide you with thorough advice and information in a personal consultation. We only begin the treatment after your informed consent.
You will be treated at one of our practice locations and can reach us at any time with questions or in an emergency. This way, you are well cared for even after the treatment.
Regular hyaluronic acid treatment at Aesthetify can effectively reduce deep marionette lines and achieve a more youthful appearance. For very deep lines in this area, a combination of several treatments, such as cheekbone and chin augmentation, thread lifting, or chin injections, is recommended.
Both treatment methods have their advantages: hyaluronic acid is a natural substance. It plumps up the tissue and smooths the skin. Botox® paralyses the muscles and thus prevents lines from forming.
Since Botox® would impair natural facial expressions and laughing in the area of the mouth corners and chin, we use only hyaluronic acid here, to underline your unique charisma rather than change it. Our doctors are happy to discuss with you in person which treatment suits you best.
The natural ageing process usually begins in the mid-twenties. At that point, the skin loses elasticity and volume. Early treatment can slow down the formation of visible lines. Our team of doctors on-site will recommend the right treatment for you in an individual consultation.
Depending on the amount used and your individual metabolism, the result can typically last up to 1.5 years. For a consistently fresh appearance, we recommend regular refresher treatments.
The injection treatment is considered low-pain and usually takes only a few minutes. We work with an atraumatic cannula designed to cause as little tissue trauma as possible – protecting blood vessels, nerves, and connective tissue. On request, we can numb the area beforehand so that you feel completely comfortable.

We look forward to seeing you.
