What should you know about NuFACE for marionette lines?

Marionette lines are creases that run from the corners of the mouth toward the chin. They can become more visible as skin elasticity, facial volume, and the soft tissues around the lower face change. A handheld microcurrent device is intended to stimulate facial muscles and may make the treated area look more toned for a limited time. It cannot restore lost volume, remove an established crease, or reposition lax tissue.

Results depend on skin laxity, the depth of the lines, facial structure, and how the device is used. Avoid treating irritated, broken, or infected skin, and follow the device instructions closely.

Use only a device intended for facial treatment and stop if you develop persistent pain, marked redness, swelling, or a skin reaction. Take consistent photographs in similar lighting if you want to judge gradual changes rather than day-to-day impressions.

A clinician can compare options according to whether the main issue is a crease, volume loss, or laxity. Depending on that assessment, discussion may include [Dermal Fillers](/treatments/injectables/dermal-fillers/) or a [Thread Lift](/treatments/aesthetic-procedures/thread-lift/). Daily sun protection and a gentle moisturiser can also help limit further visible skin change.

Arrange a clinical assessment if a line changes suddenly, is associated with a new lump, persistent rash, ulceration, bleeding, or one-sided facial weakness. Seek urgent help for sudden facial drooping, trouble speaking, or weakness affecting an arm or leg. These symptoms need medical assessment rather than cosmetic treatment.

Ask whether your lines are mainly caused by skin creasing, reduced volume, or lower-face laxity; whether home microcurrent is suitable for your skin; what alternatives fit your anatomy; and which changes after treatment should prompt a review.
