Marionette Lines in Korea: Your Comprehensive Guide

Korea is a global leader in advanced cosmetic and anti-aging treatments, offering a wide array of effective solutions for marionette lines. These long, vertical creases that run from the corners of the mouth down to the chin can give the face a downturned appearance. Korean clinics utilize a combination of cutting-edge injectables, lifting technologies, and regenerative therapies to safely and effectively soften these lines, restoring a more youthful and refreshed appearance with minimal downtime.


What are Marionette Lines?

Marionette lines are creases that extend downward from the corners of the mouth. They become more prominent with age due to several factors, including the loss of fat and elasticity in the lower face and cheeks. Additionally, the depressor anguli oris (DAO) muscle, which pulls the corners of the mouth down, can become overactive, contributing to the formation and deepening of these lines.


Popular Types of Marionette Lines Treatments in Korea

  • Dermal Fillers:
  • Hyaluronic Acid (HA) Fillers: The most common and effective treatment, instantly adding volume to smooth the creases and provide immediate, natural-looking results.
  • Botox:
  • DAO Botox: A small amount of Botox can be injected into the depressor anguli oris muscle to relax it, preventing it from pulling the corners of the mouth down and helping to soften the lines.
  • Lifting & Energy-Based Treatments:
  • HIFU (e.g., Shurink): Delivers focused ultrasound energy to tighten tissue and stimulate collagen, which helps to reduce the appearance of marionette lines.
  • Thermage FLX (RF): Uses radiofrequency technology to deeply heat collagen fibers, improving the skin's firmness and elasticity.
  • PDO Thread Lifts: A minimally invasive procedure where dissolvable threads are inserted to physically lift sagging tissue, providing an immediate lifting effect.
