Botox for Marionette Lines: When It Works and When It Doesn't

In a recent video by Belarusian cosmetologist Anna Reznik, she addresses common questions regarding botulinum toxin injections for marionette lines (or 'cigarette lines' around the mouth). Reznik explains that the effectiveness of Botox in this area depends heavily on the stage of wrinkle formation. "If the marionette lines are already deeply set," she states, "treating them with Botox alone is often futile." She advocates for a comprehensive approach, prioritizing treatments that address skin aging and elasticity before resorting to botulinum toxin injections. This approach, she suggests, leads to better and more lasting results. The video highlights the importance of consulting with a dermatologist for a personalized assessment of the best treatment strategy.
