What is hyaluronic acid injection for marionette lines?

What is marionette line?

Marionette lines are the lines that appear from the corners of the mouth to the chin, and the name comes from the marionette, a puppet used in puppet shows. When these lines get deep, they can make your face look sad or older. It is also commonly referred to as a "bulldog face," and is an important point that greatly affects the impression of appearance.
The main causes of marionette lines are a decrease in skin elasticity and a decrease in subcutaneous fat due to aging. As we age, the amount of collagen and elastin in our skin decreases, causing our skin to gradually sag, which appears as lines and wrinkles on the lower part of our face. It is also thought that daily facial movements, genetic factors, lifestyle habits, and environmental factors have an influence.
