If your nose-to-mouth lines or the vertical creases running from your mouth to your jawline are making you look more tired, stern, or older than you feel, you’re not alone — these are some of the most common concerns we treat at Face Studio Clinic. Our experienced clinicians use precision-placed dermal filler to soften nasolabial folds and marionette lines, restoring a smoother, more rested, and naturally youthful look, with no downtime and results you’ll see the same day.
What are nasolabial folds and marionette lines?
Nasolabial folds are the creases that run from the sides of your nose down to the corners of your mouth. Marionette lines extend from the corners of your mouth down toward the jawline. Both are completely normal parts of facial anatomy, but they tend to deepen over time due to repeated facial movement, natural loss of collagen and elastin, and age-related volume loss in the cheeks and lower face.
How we treat it:
We place dermal filler carefully within the nasolabial fold, upper cheek, or marionette line area to restore lost volume and soften the crease from beneath the skin. Filler can’t erase these lines completely, but in the hands of an experienced injector it significantly reduces their visibility and helps rebuild a fuller, more balanced lower face — often the change patients notice most is looking less tired, not just less lined.
Your consultation:
Every treatment starts with a confidential, no-obligation consultation. We’ll talk through what’s bothering you, take a full medical history, and explain exactly what filler placement, product, and quantity we’d recommend for your face — so you know precisely what to expect before you decide anything.
FAQs
What does this procedure involve?
Dermal filler is carefully placed into the nasolabial fold area or upper cheeks to make the folds less noticeable, and into the marionette lines to restore fullness along the lower face. Filler can’t make these lines disappear completely, but in the hands of an experienced injector it significantly softens their appearance and restores a fuller, more youthful contour. Treatment typically takes around 30 minutes and involves minimal downtime.
What results will I see and are there any side effects?
Results are visible immediately, though it can take up to two weeks for the filler to fully settle into place. The treated area may feel tender to the touch, and mild bruising or swelling can occur, usually subsiding within 48 hours. Most patients return to their normal daily activities straight after treatment, with no significant downtime required.
How long does filler for nasolabial folds and marionette lines last?
Results typically last between six and twelve months, though this varies from person to person depending on factors like skin type, lifestyle, and how quickly your body naturally metabolises the filler. Many patients choose to have a top-up treatment once the effects begin to soften, to maintain their results long-term.
What will happen at my consultation?
You’ll have a confidential, no-obligation consultation before any treatment takes place. We’ll talk through your concerns and goals, explain what to expect from treatment and any potential side effects, and take a full medical history to make sure the treatment is safe and appropriate for you. You’re never under any pressure to book treatment at this stage.
