Concern
Nasolabial Folds / Marionette Lines
Nasolabial folds run from the nose to the corners of the mouth, while marionette lines run from the mouth downwards. Both deepen with age and volume loss.
Carefully placed treatment can soften these lines and support the surrounding areas for a refreshed, natural look.
Causes
What Causes Nasolabial Folds / Marionette Lines?
These folds deepen as mid-face volume is lost and skin becomes less firm, allowing the tissue to descend and the lines to become more pronounced.

Expert Tips
Dr Alexa's Advice
Treat the cause, not just the line
Supporting the cheeks often softens these folds more naturally than treating the line alone.
Aim for subtle softening
Complete erasure can look unnatural; subtle improvement reads as 'refreshed'.
