Where to inject filler to solve marionette lines?

My approach for marionette lines differs according to the ageing stage involved.

My preference is to inject filler first: Dermal fillers are gel-like substances that restore lost volume in the face, stimulate collagen production, and attract moisture to the treatment area. It fills in the wrinkles and folds while improving skin texture and flexibility. They work by stiffening the upper part of the lip and adding bulk to the bottom corner to turn it upside down.

They are temporary but usually last around 6-9 months in that area, sometimes longer.

• When a patient is young, and their chin is fresh and cheek naturally uplifted, I inject the filler using the MD codes Lp6 to inject deeply on the corner of the mouth to turn it from a downwards position to up.                                              It can be consolidated, if necessary, with an injection of Botox on the DAO (depressor anguli oris muscle). It is because when this muscle is strong, it tends to bring the mouth down.                                                            The risk of this method is that it can affect the smile in some people.  It is temporary and would require re-injection about every three months.
• When the patient is a little older and starts to show signs of skin laxity and loss in the definition of the lower Jaw, working on the cheeks first to inject filler will uplift both the corner of the mouth as well as contribute to eliminating the sagging cheek. It will bring a more natural result than just injecting in the corner of the mouth.
• For much older patients with real sagging cheeks, threads combined with fillers is the best option. We need to be cautious not to overfill the cheeks with fillers. We want to achieve elegance. If we inflate the cheeks too much, the face will look too heavy!

There is not one way to consider solving marionette lines. it is the reason why a careful analysis of the face is necessary before injecting to make sure the treatment plan decided is appropriate to maintain a perfect balance for the entire face.

If you are wondering what would be the best option for you, what are you waiting for? Please call the practice. My assistants will be more than happy to help you book an appointment with me!

Dermal fillers to solve marionette lines

Teosyal RHA products are perfect for the moveable areas and to solve marionette lines. When they are applied, they can fill wrinkles and guarantee dermal hydration to be maintained at an optimum level. Teosyal RHA products also help to keep the elasticity of the skin, overall toning your face and brightening your complexion!

It is an innovative formula developed by the Swiss brand Teoxane, and it works well with faces that are static and dynamic. This formulated gel adapts to every emotion you may have, especially when injecting to restore your smile and solve marionette lines.

After saying that, it is important not to overestimate the result achieved with dermal filler injected directly into the marionette lines. If over injected, it can distort the patient’s facial expression and make a face looking heavier.

A better result will be achieved to solve marionette lines and nasolabial folds by concentrating on facial contouring and injecting the cheek area instead. It will create an uplifting effect, which will help to reduce the importance of the marionette lines.

Combined with a botox injection in the depressor angular oris, it will help to stop the downward mouth that makes you look sad.

Marionette lines run from the corners of the mouth, in most cases making the person look sad. So, why are they called ‘marionette’ lines? It is because they look like the lines that run along the face of a marionette. Symptoms of the marionette line are dryness of the skin, loss in elasticity, and firmness of the skin.

The AMWC Congress has also been a wonderful opportunity to connect with my colleagues from all over the world, share our experiences, and enjoy Monaco with its glamorous setting!

What best for Marionette lines?

Once marionette lines begin to deepen, your face begins to appear heavier, with a saddened expression. The cause of marionette lines is the loss of soft tissue and structural support beneath the skin.

While they tend to make the skin sag, a solution to this problem can easily be applied! Since it is merely a problem regarding a loss of volume, the recommended treatment is dermal fillers, such as Juvederm and Teosyal.

Alongside dermal fillers, I often recommend Botox into the muscles that are pulling down the corner of the mouth. Although Botox will not do the job on its own, it can help the corners of the mouth take a more horizontal position.

Thread lifts are perfect alternatives for surgical facelifts. They are practically non-invasive and cheaper. Thread lifts for marionette lines are ideal and specifically target the jaw area.

The dissolvable sutures are injected under the skin, and once they dissolve, they allow collagen to grow in their place, allowing you to see long-lasting effects.

Dermica threads polydioxanone (PDO) are made from the same material as dissolvable stitches.

The threads are inserted under the skin and give a structural template for the collagen to grow, helping to reduce the effects of lines and wrinkles on the face.

The threads should not be visible through the skin and is used in lower areas of the face for problems such as marionette lines, nasolabial folds, and laugh lines.

One of the newest types of facial fillers are Profhilo, used to tighten the skin and help re-model the tissue.

Profhilo is a complex hybrid consisting of hyaluronic acid (HA) of a high and low molecular weight. This anti-ageing treatment encourages the growth of collagen and skin elasticity, making it as unique as the bio-remodeling agent.

It has been clinically described to have a lifting and tightening effect on the skin.

Profhilo flows through the tissue activating a lengthy-lasting bio-remodeling procedure at an apparent level. This procedure can be used for tricky areas such as your neck and forehead. It excites me that I can help my clients with this massive advancement in the industry!

Teosyal Redensity II is one of the safest and most effective dermal fillers products designed to treat the periorbital area and tear troughs.

It consists of a lightweight gel and requires a small amount of pressure for it to enter the tissue below the skin. It had been reformed to deal with the gentle skin in the eye circle area, helping to prevent bruising.

Teosyal Redensity II also is not as hydrophilic as other HA gels, resulting in little to no swelling after the injection.

Every year, it is a real pleasure for me to go to Monaco and attend the most important aesthetic & anti-aging world congress! I love being a student again, and I love spending all those hours learning more, improving my techniques, and meeting my colleagues!

This year’s AMWC Congress will give special recognition to Taiwan for its contribution to the advancement of global anti-aging medicine. Taiwan is one of the world’s most dynamic settings in aesthetic medicine, and key leaders of Taiwan aesthetics will be attending.

I’m curious to find out and observe their anti-ageing techniques and expertise. I will keep you updated day by day, and let you know what made me feel enthusiastic! I will give you information about which procedures or new anti-ageing products I will come back with to carry on, making my patients beautiful and ageless!

Also, patient safety will be the central theme this year, which is the number one priority that practitioners care about. All of it will be developed throughout the scientific sessions, panels, live demonstrations, and problem-based debates. Can’t wait to be there!

Tear trough, how to treat them correctly?

When patients come to my practice wanting a solution regarding their tear trough, they usually expect to be injected fillers straight in that area.

However, it is often the case that you can fix the tear trough by focusing on other aspects of the face. This is why we need to understand why the tear trough develops in the first place!

Tear troughs usually develop with ageing. As we get older, we lose facial volume in the surrounding area, and dark circles under the eyes are deepened because of the skin laxity. It can also occur due to our lifestyle, where excessive exposure to the sun and smoking causes the skin to be lax prematurely.

As a result, our cheeks drift downwards, and this accentuates our nasolabial folds. By focusing on fixing these areas affected by the sagging tendency of our skin, the tear trough can be better addressed by treating these areas.

Further treatments to support the periorbital area, the crow’s feet area or the submalar area should be considered first to inject fillers, to ensure a more natural and sustained look!

Here at TheLondonFacialCare, I make sure that my patients undergo a full facial assessment with pictures before they decide to inject or opt for treatment. This way, they can fully understand how to achieve a beautiful and natural result.

By working on the foundations of the face first, we can then proceed by contouring the face and make it more refined. And this is why it is the best way to treat the tear trough!

Don’t wait to find out how this technique could be beneficial to you. Call the practice; my assistant will be delighted to answer the questions you may have and to book an appointment with me!

Cannula versus needle to treat tear trough

The tear trough is usually referred to as the dark shadow that lays beneath your eyes. An increasingly popular area that is treated with anti-ageing treatments, patients often worry that injecting will cause pain and bruising.

However, here at TheLondonFacialCare, I use a cannula to inject the eye area rather than a needle. Cannula’s are not sharp like needles, making it the perfect tool to inject this sensitive area of the skin.

By using the cannula, bruising is kept to a minimum, which makes it more convenient, as several of my patients want to resume their work activities and other schedules straight afterward.

It causes less pain than needles and requires fewer entry points than needles because they are longer. It provides a safer procedure as there is less risk of perforating a blood vessel.

Furthermore, I use the cannula to inject the tear trough as it is the safest method for injection, minimising your recovery time. However, I also use needles on specific filler treatments in there areas as they could provide better results in some instances.

If you wish to find out more about the tear trough procedure, please call the practice. My assistants will be more than happy to help you book an appointment with me!

We all know that with age, our skin loses its tightness and starts to sag as an inevitable part of human nature. We can delay this process by following a carefully designed skin regimen and by using anti-ageing techniques that are increasingly well designed to deal with this.

Do you get wrinkles above your lips?

Do you feel like your upper lip has flattened over the years?

Then you are not the only one! Our upper lip is a key indicator of ageing signs, which further draws on negative factors such as smoking, excessive sun exposure as well as genetics.

Here at TheLondonFacialCare, I use a combination of PDO threads and hyaluronic acid (HA) dermal fillers or PRP (platelet rich plasma) to fix smoker’s lines above the lips, making it the most efficient non-surgical technique for rejuvenation.

PDO threads are known for the use of collagen type 1 and 3 regeneration, and it has been an approved method for it as well as lipolysis and neo-vascularisation!

The Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is an excellent complimentary treatment with the PDO threads to get rid of wrinkles above your lips. It allows the neo-vascularisation and collagen regeneration to happen through a growth factor release, which in turn gives the treatments the best possible results. It is injected when we insert the barbed threads and is a great non-surgical alternative!

PDO threads have been around for a while, but the trend has really picked up in recent years due to the fact that practitioners have perfected the way to use them and apply them on patients according to their own, specific needs.

PDO threads are a great skin rejuvenation option, as there are almost never allergic reactions and long term complications after its use. The effects of the procedure last up to 8 months, before it is replaced with fibrosis.

There are many things we can solve with PDO threads. Treatments range from treating wrinkles, tightening the skin, contouring our face or even reducing a double chin, among many others. However, patients always have higher expectations of PDO threads, and they should understand that it is not a replacement for a real surgical lift. But an amazing alternative to be used when opting for non-surgical treatments.

But have you ever wondered how PDO threads really work and which is the best treatment for you?

What are PDO threads and barbed PDO threads?

PDO threads are one of the 21st-century anti-ageing miracle techniques, which tighten your skin and improve the minor wrinkles you picked up in the process of ageing!

Monofilament PDO threads are like a scaffold to the face, and it thus produces natural collagen in your skin, which makes it look younger, brighter, and more elastic.

Barbed PDO threads (COG), on the other hand, are used to fix sagging areas of the skin and can be used in conjunction with monofilament PDO threads.

Many use barbed PDO threads to achieve a lifting effect, but that is not always possible when the skin has caused to sag too much.
