Home / Services / Morpheus8 Eye Bag Treatment

Marionette lines can subtly deepen over time, pulling down the corners of your mouth and contributing to a tired, aged appearance. If you’re looking for an advanced, non-surgical solution to target these lower face wrinkles, Morpheus8 marionette lines treatment may be the breakthrough you’ve been waiting for. Using radiofrequency microneedling, Morpheus8 helps smooth sagging skin around the mouth, redefine your jawline, and restore a firmer, more youthful look.

At Empire Radiance in Buffalo, NY, we specialize in Morpheus8 marionette lines treatments that are tailored to your unique facial structure and aesthetic goals. Discover how this powerful skin-renewing technology can help you feel confident in every smile.

What Are Marionette Lines?

Marionette lines are vertical wrinkles or folds that form from the corners of the mouth down toward the chin. They get their name from the lines seen on marionette puppets and are a common concern as we age.

These lines develop due to a combination of:

  • Loss of collagen and elastin in the skin
  • Repeated facial expressions
  • Gravity and natural aging
  • Volume loss in the lower face


While they can be subtle at first, marionette lines tend to deepen over time and contribute to a downturned, tired, or even angry appearance. They’re also closely associated with sagging skin around the mouth and jawline laxity.

How Morpheus8 Treats Marionette Lines

Morpheus8 combines micro needling with fractional radiofrequency energy to stimulate deep collagen remodeling in the skin and fat layers. It targets the dermis and subdermal tissue with precision, triggering natural healing and skin tightening.
 
For marionette lines, Morpheus8 offers:
 
  • Deep dermal heating to tighten and firm tissue
  • Skin resurfacing to improve texture and tone
  • Collagen stimulation to soften wrinkles
  • Fat remodeling to reduce jowls and contour the jawline


Unlike topical treatments or surface-level lasers, Morpheus8 works beneath the skin, making it ideal for addressing marionette lines and lower face tightening.

Benefits of Non-Surgical Treatment

Morpheus8 delivers surgical-like results without scalpels, sutures, or significant downtime. Clients choose this non-surgical wrinkle treatment for many reasons:

  • No incisions or anesthesia required
  • Minimal downtime. You return to normal activities within 1-2 days
  • Natural-looking results that improve gradually over time
  • Tighter, firmer skin in the lower face and jawline
  • Improved definition without fillers or implants
  • Long-lasting collagen production for ongoing rejuvenation


Whether you’re hoping to reverse early signs of aging or avoid surgery altogether, Morpheus8 offers a safe, effective, and low-maintenance solution.

Your Questions
Answered

Marionette lines, those deep creases running from the corners of your mouth down to your chin, can make you look tired or upset. Morpheus8 offers a powerful, non-surgical solution to smooth and rejuvenate the lower face. Explore the most common questions clients ask before starting this advanced skin-tightening treatment.

How does Morpheus8 treat marionette lines?
Morpheus8 uses microneedling combined with radiofrequency (RF) energy to remodel the skin at deeper levels. By stimulating collagen and tightening tissue, it softens marionette lines and restores smoother skin around the mouth and jawline.
Yes. Unlike fillers that add volume, Morpheus8 rebuilds your skin’s natural structure by boosting collagen. It’s ideal for those who want natural-looking results without the risk of overfilling or migration.
Some improvement may be visible after one session, but most clients need 2-3 treatments spaced 4-6 weeks apart to achieve noticeable softening of deep lines and improved skin texture.
Initial skin tightening can appear within a few days, but collagen rebuilding continues over 2-3 months. Final results develop gradually, offering a natural-looking rejuvenation effect.
Downtime is minimal. You may experience redness, swelling, or tiny scabs for a few days. Most clients resume normal activities quickly, and any visible side effects fade within 72 hours.
A topical numbing cream is applied to ensure comfort. Most clients describe the sensation as mild discomfort, especially around the mouth and chin where skin is thinner, but the procedure is well-tolerated.
Results from Morpheus8 are long-lasting, especially with proper skincare and sun protection. Many clients schedule annual maintenance treatments to preserve and enhance their results.
Yes. In addition to softening marionette lines, Morpheus8 tightens sagging jowls, reduces fine lines, and improves skin texture around the jawline, mouth, and chin. It’s a comprehensive anti-aging solution for the lower face.
Absolutely. Morpheus8 is FDA-cleared and safe for all skin tones. Its adjustable depth and energy levels make it effective and safe for treating deeper wrinkles like marionette lines.
Ideal candidates are men and women with early to moderate signs of aging around the mouth and chin who want a non-surgical solution. We’ll evaluate your skin during your consultation to ensure Morpheus8 is right for you.
