Nasolabial folds and marionette lines are common signs of facial ageing that develop as volume is lost and facial tissues descend over time. Nasolabial folds appear between the nose and mouth, while marionette lines run from the corners of the mouth towards the chin, often contributing to a tired or downturned appearance.
At JB Aesthetics, treatment for nasolabial folds and marionette lines is approached carefully and conservatively. Rather than simply filling lines, the focus is on restoring facial support and balance to achieve natural, refreshed results that preserve movement and expression.

What Are Nasolabial Folds & Marionette Lines
Nasolabial folds and marionette lines develop due to a combination of factors, including volume loss in the cheeks, reduced skin elasticity and the natural effects of gravity. These changes can create deeper lines and shadows around the mouth, altering facial balance and expression.
Effective treatment often involves addressing the underlying cause rather than focusing solely on the line itself. In many cases, restoring mid-face support with dermal filler can soften these lines naturally, reducing the need for direct filling.
At JB Aesthetics, every treatment plan is personalised following a full facial assessment to ensure results remain subtle and harmonious.

Direct Vs Indirect Treatment
In some patients, nasolabial folds and marionette lines are best treated indirectly by restoring volume to the cheeks or supporting the mid-face. In others, small amounts of filler may be placed directly into the lines where appropriate.
JB Aesthetics prioritises conservative placement and structural support to avoid overfilling and unnatural results.
