The face is the mirror of the soul, so every day, our face conveys a lot about how we feel or how we are and supplements our words when it comes to communicating. It is normal for us to be concerned about certain expression lines that make us look older or older than we would like.

In our day-to-day life, we smile, we laugh, frown or raise an eyebrow, the thing is that gesticulation over time, among other factors, inevitably leaves lines, wrinkles and indents on the skin.

The most common areas where the passage of time can be reflected are the forehead, around the eyes and mouth. One of the most common reasons for consultation is for wrinkles or so-called marionette lines that frame the mouth like the puppets and dolls used by ventriloquists.

At our Aesthetic Clinic Ochoa Marbella, we can tell you a little more about them and what our plan of action is to tackle them, without surgery and in comfort and safety.

What are marionette wrinkles and how are they created?

Marionette lines are vertical wrinkles that run from the lip corners down to both sides of the chin due to loss of collagen, elastin and facial aging.
Factors affecting the creation of wrinkles and marionette lines are many, but the main ones are:
– Gesticulation and repetitive facial movements
– Age and the passage of time
– Genetic factors
– Gravity
– Sun exposure
– Stress and lifestyle: food, alcoholism, smoking…

The thing is, once they’re there, anti-wrinkle creams won’t be able to greatly lessen their appearance and more robust treatment is necessary.
