Marionette Lines

Due to the nature of injectable treatments, there is a possibility of some minor side effects, most of which subside up two-four weeks after treatment. Common side effects include:

Mild swelling and bumps.
Localised tenderness.
Skin blemish or bruising.
General sensitivity and redness.

Any potential side effects will be discussed during your consultation with a member of the VIVA team.

Our medical team is led by Dr Rupert, who is considered one of the most experienced injectors in the UK. Having treated hundreds of thousands of patients in over ten years of opening our doors at VIVA, you can have peace of mind that your safety is our priority.

Initial results will be visible as soon as you leave the clinic, however, it will take two-four weeks for the filler to soften and settle under the skin for final results. The secondary effect of glowing skin will be apparent at this point as well.

Most hyaluronic acid dermal fillers tend to fall within the 6 to 18-month range, however, the expected longevity of your fillers will also vary from person to person. However a general ‘rule of thumb’ when it comes to marionette line filler longevity is 6-9 months.

Maintaining your dermal fillers and increasing the longevity of your results can be achieved in a few ways. To ensure that you get the most from your filler treatment we recommend a combination of the following:

Maintaining a healthy skincare routine, minimising exposure to UV radiation.
Eating a balanced diet and staying hydrated.
Avoiding stress, as this will accelerate the signs of ageing.
Follow the recommended aftercare provided by our practitioners.
Regular follow-up treatments.

Our aesthetic practitioners are medically trained and supervised by our medical director, Dr. Rupert, who has over 12 years of experience. Our clinically trained practitioners are trained regularly on the latest techniques to ensure that treatments are performed with your comfort and safety as a priority.

Before any treatment we require a full medical consultation to understand your suitability. We would never recommend a treatment for you if we deemed it to be unsafe or dangerous, so we always keep your best interests in mind.
