Botox FAQs
How long does Botox for marionette lines last?
Botox results typically last three to four months. With regular treatments, you may experience longer-lasting effects and smoother skin over time.
Will I still be able to move my mouth naturally?
Yes. Botox in the marionette line area is placed strategically to relax specific muscles while preserving natural movement and expression.
Should I get filler or Botox for marionette lines?
Botox addresses muscle pull, while dermal fillers replace lost volume. For deeper lines, Nurse Diane may recommend a combination of both for optimal results.
Is there any downtime after treatment?
No. Most patients return to daily activities immediately following their appointment.
Does the treatment hurt?
Most clients describe the sensation as a quick pinch. A topical numbing cream can be applied for added comfort.
Can men get Botox for marionette lines?
Yes. Men commonly receive Botox in the lower face to reduce deep lines and achieve a more confident, rested appearance.
