Nasolabial Fold and Marionette Line Filler Injections
Nasolabial fold and marionette line fillers are an excellent option for those looking for a non-surgical way to achieve a more youthful appearance. As we age, our faces naturally lose skin fat volume, which can result in very deep creases to form between the nose and mouth (known as nasolabial folds), and between the mouth and chin (known as marionette lines).
By plumping up these deep creases, nasolabial fold and marionette line fillers improve the lower areas of the face. They are a great option for those who want a facial refresh without the risk, cost and downtime associated with surgical facelifts. So if you’re looking for a way to help turn back the clock, nasolabial fold and marionette line fillers may be just what you need.
At Medical Injectables, we only use high quality, Australian Register of Therapeutic Goods (ARTG) listed fillers to ensure that you are getting the best possible treatment. We also take the time to listen to your concerns and understand your desired results in order to provide you with customised care. With our help, you can achieve smooth, wrinkle-free skin that makes you look and feel your best. Contact us today to schedule a consultation.
No Laughing Matter
Innocuously called “laugh lines,” the deep folds that border the cheeks between the nose and mouth are formally referred to as the nasolabial folds. And far from funny, the marionette lines that run between the corners of the mouth and chin are named after wooden marionette puppets (like Pinocchio). While both are completely natural, sometimes as we age, they become disproportionally etched on our face and can cause us to look significantly older or harsher than we wish to portray.
Anti-wrinkle injections such as botulinum toxin type A are extremely effective at “erasing” wrinkles. However, deeper creases like those typically found in laugh lines and marionette lines are often best treated with dermal fillers. The hyaluronic acid in dermal fillers encourage your body to rebuild its own collagen to effectively soften those deep creases.
At Medical Injectables, we only use Australian Register of Therapeutic Goods (ARTG) listed, high quality fillers for all our dermal filler treatments in Orange and Wollongong. This ensures that you’ll always get the best results possible. To see how long each type of filler will last, check out our pricing table to the right.

Here are some before and after pictures of nasolabial fold and marionette line dermal filler taken at our Medical Injectables clinics in Wollongong and Orange, NSW.
The amount of dermal filler varies per person and overall treatment area. As dermal fillers encourage the body to develop collagen and this takes time, nasolabial and marionette fillers will reach their maximal effect at 2 weeks and last for several months.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are laugh lines?
Innocuously called “laugh lines,” the deep folds that border the cheeks between the nose and mouth are formally referred to as the nasolabial folds. These lines become more pronounced with age, due to a decrease in collagen production and the loss of fatty tissue in the face.
The recommended non-surgical treatment of laugh lines is with dermal fillers which encourage the body to produce more collagen in that specific area.
What are marionette lines?
One of the most common signs of aging is the appearance of marionette lines, which run from the corners of the mouth to the chin. These lines get their name from wooden marionettes like Pinocchio, which have a similar line running down their faces. Marionette lines are most often caused by a loss of volume in the cheeks, which causes the skin to sag and creates the appearance of deeper wrinkles. In addition to loss of collagen, marionette lines can also be caused by sun damage, smoking, and gravity.
The recommended non-surgical treatment of marionette lines is with dermal fillers which encourage the body to produce more collagen in that specific area.
What are nasolabial folds?
The nasolabial folds, more commonly known as laugh lines or smile lines, are the two deep wrinkles that run from the sides of the nose to the corners of the mouth. As we age, our skin loses collagen and elastin, which results in the formation of wrinkles and fine lines. The nasolabial folds are one of the first areas to be affected by this loss of collagen and elastin, as they are located in a highly mobile area of the face. In addition, the nasolabial folds are also susceptible to gravity and the pull of facial muscles. As a result, they can become deeper and more pronounced over time.
While prevention of laugh lines is tricky, treatment is not. At Medical Injectables we will discuss your desired outcome to choose the right treatment for your needs.
What's the difference between nasolabial folds (laugh lines) and marionette lines?
The easiest way to remember the difference between nasolabial folds and marionette lines is this:
Naso (nose) labial (lips) folds – refers to the creases in your skin the run from your nose to the corners of your lips. They are the folds that create the border with your cheeks.
Marionette lines refer to the lines that develop, like etchings, from the corners of your mouth down your chin. These lines resemble the mouth joins in wooden marionette puppets like Pinocchio or old-time ventriloquist dolls.
Some people develop more pronounced nasolabial folds, whereas others develop deeper marionette lines. Still others are affected by neither, or both!
Non-surgical options to reduce the appearance of both nasolabial folds and marionette lines include dermal fillers and anti-wrinkle injections. Talk to the team at Medical Injectables in Wollongong and Orange, NSW for what laugh line or marionette line treatment is best for you.
How much do dermal fillers cost in Australia?
The cost of dermal fillers varies dramatically between clinics. 1ml of dermal filler in Australia can cost as little as $200.00 and as much as $1000.00 or more. This wide variation in price depends on how long you want the filler to last for (with longer lasting fillers typically being more expensive), who is performing the filler administration (doctors are more qualified and therefore more expensive than nurses), the brand of filler, and the type of clinic (boutique and more specialised clinics are often more expensive than large chains).
