All you need to know

What are Marionette Lines?

Marionette lines, also known as ‘puppet lines’ or ‘melomental folds’, are facial wrinkles that extend from the corners of the mouth down toward the chin. They get their name from traditional marionette puppets, as these lines create a subtle separation between the chin and the rest of the face, mimicking the look of a puppet’s mouth.

What Causes Marionette Lines?

Marionette lines develop naturally with age as gravity affects the skin’s structure, leading to a loss of firmness and elasticity. Genetics can also play a role in how prominent these lines become over time. While marionette lines are inevitable with ageing, there are ways to slow their development. Excess sun exposure accelerates collagen breakdown, leading to volume loss and sagging—so wearing SPF 50 daily is essential. Smoking is another contributing factor, as the harsh chemicals in cigarettes can accelerate skin ageing and weaken collagen and elastin production.
