Overview
The Marionette line is a skin surface effect that occurs due to the difference in volume projection between the lateral face (= plenty of volume) and the perioral region (= volume deficiency). Due to this difference the illusion is created that the skin at the Marionette line is depressed and devoid of volume. The treatment therefore is to restore the local volume within the rhytid. Learn in this video how to perform this soft tissue filler-based treatment with an intra-dermal needle injection technique and how to avoid the perioral arteries that are locate din this region.
