Effectively reduce marionette lines

Marionette lines are wrinkles that can form between the corners of the mouth and the chin. The wrinkles are caused by the sagging skin in the upper third of the face. The main cause of the formation of marionette lines is the natural aging process, because over time the skin loses volume and elasticity, which can cause wrinkles. Marionette lines can lead to a sad or tired look and make the face appear older. Many sufferers find this disturbing because it changes their appearance.
