MARIONETTE LINES

Marionette lines start to form as we get older the skin starts to sag due to a lack of elastin and collagen in the skin. The result being vertical lines start to form from the comers of the mouth to the chin area. This sagging appearance can have psychological impacts on a person as they can make you look grim or sad all the time. Don’t disappear there is a very easy treatment to help reduce there appearance. By using a safe medically for- mulated dermal filler such as Juvederm® or Restylane®. Dr Pinar Akman will intruduce through the skin a fine needle into the area and slowly release the dermal filler along the shaft of the vertical line.

– Even with parental consent, clinics will not perform these procedures on individuals under 18 unless it’s medically necessary.
