Dr. Grittern ist emphatisch und einfühlsam und arbeitet zudem professionell. Sie besitzt eine hohe Expertise und sie legt großen Wert auf eine individuelle Beratung. Auch das Team super.
Die beste Dermatologin in Düsseldorf :-)

Auch gut finde ich, dass man den Gutschein sowohl in der Dermatologie & Laser Center als auch in ihrem Kosmetikinstitut einlösen kann. So kann man sich auch spontan entscheiden und muss sich nicht vorher festlegen.

Frau Dr. Kröpfl ist eine Offenbarung für mich. Jahrelang habe ich als Erwachsener mit unreiner Haut und Ekzemen gequält, die ich alleine oder mit Hilfe meiner ‘normalen’ Hautärzte nicht in den Griff bekommen habe. Die Behandlungen sind vielleicht kostspielig, aber in jedem Fall ihr Geld wert. Ich fühle mich absolut kompetent beraten und sehr wohl in dieser Praxis.

Important information about marionette line removal in Düsseldorf

What are Marionette lines?

Marionette lines are deep skin folds that extend from the corners of the mouth to the lower jawline. The name is derived from the characteristic lines that surround the mouth of marionette puppets. These wrinkles are caused by natural gravity and the loss of skin elasticity over time.

Various factors cause these distinctive lines to form in the lower half of the face. The skin loses elasticity and Collagen, causing it to lose its natural firmness. At the same time, the underlying tissue can shift downward, which promotes the formation of Marionette lines.

These wrinkles are often particularly pronounced in people who frequently make certain facial expressions or whose muscles in the lower face are heavily strained. Marionette lines can affect the entire appearance and lead to a permanently sullen or dissatisfied facial expression, even when the person affected is actually relaxed.

What causes marionette lines to become visible?

The development of Marionette lines is a complex process that is influenced by various factors. The natural aging process plays a central role. With increasing age, the production of Collagen and Elastin in the skin slows down, causing it to lose firmness and elasticity.

Gravity also contributes to the formation of marionette lines. Over the years, it causes the facial tissues to shift downward. The cheek and mouth areas are particularly affected, resulting in the characteristic lines forming from the corners of the mouth to the chin.

Genetic predisposition has a significant influence on when and how severely marionette lines develop. People with a family history of early wrinkling are more likely to experience premature development of these skin changes.

External factors such as UV radiation, smoking, and environmental pollution further accelerate the skin's aging process. These damage the skin structure and promote the breakdown of collagen fibers. Repeated facial movements and expressions can also contribute to the deepening of Marionette lines.

How does the Marionette lines injection treatment work at Skinthetics?

Preparation for treatment

Before each Marionette lines injection treatment, we conduct a detailed consultation in our practice. Dr. Lucija Grittern analyzes your facial structure and discusses your wishes and expectations with you. A thorough examination of the area to be treated enables us to develop the optimal treatment approach.

Explaining the treatment process, possible risks, and expected results is an important part of the preparation. We provide you with detailed information about the hyaluronic acid preparations used and their properties. Before the treatment, the skin is thoroughly cleansed and disinfected to ensure optimal hygienic conditions.

Performing the treatment

The actual Marionette lines injection treatment is performed with the finest needles or cannulas to precisely introduce the hyaluronic acid into the appropriate skin layers. Dr. Lucija Grittern uses special injection techniques that ensure even distribution of the filler and achieve natural results.

During the treatment, the Marionette lines are gradually filled and smoothed out. The dosage and placement of the Hyaluronic acid gel is individually tailored to your needs. Our team ensures that the treatment is generally painless and that you feel comfortable at all times.

Aftercare

After Marionette lines injection treatment, you are usually able to resume your normal activities immediately. Slight redness or swelling may occur in the treatment area, but this usually subsides within a few hours. We will provide you with detailed aftercare recommendations.

You should refrain from intense physical activity for the first 24 hours after treatment. Sauna visits and extreme temperatures should also be avoided. Our team is available to answer any questions you may have after the treatment and will monitor the healing process if necessary.
