Marionette lines in Puerto Banús, Marbella
Softening the folds that run down from the corners of the mouth with hyaluronic acid, without surgery. It all starts with a consultation: the doctor assesses the lower face and suggests a plan, or tells you if nothing is needed.
What does it involve?
Marionette lines are the folds that run down from the corners of the mouth towards the chin. The doctor uses hyaluronic acid to restore volume and smooth the lower face.
They are often addressed indirectly first, by adding volume to the cheek area, and only then reinforced with product along the lines themselves. The amount, one or two vials, is decided in consultation.

Your questions
How long does the result last?
It depends on the product, the area and each person. The doctor gives you an indicative duration for your case in consultation.
Why start with the cheeks?
Because adding volume to the cheek area supports the lower face and can soften these lines indirectly. The doctor decides in consultation whether this suits your case.
One or two vials?
It depends on the depth of the lines and whether the cheek area is treated too. The doctor tells you and confirms the quote in writing before starting. Dr Laura J. Leon talks about the amount of product in the video on this page.
Is it painful?
We apply an anaesthetic cream before the treatment for your comfort. The sensation varies from person to person.
Is it reversible?
Yes. Hyaluronic acid can be dissolved if necessary, with a specific product and always on medical advice.
