How PDO Thread Lifts Smooth Nasolabial Folds and Marionette Lines Without Surgery
Hi, I’m Nyree Van Maarseveen, WHNP, CNM, owner of Beauty Energy Exchange Aesthetics and Wellness here in beautiful Point Loma, San Diego. I specialize in natural, non-surgical enhancements that bring out your best features—softening signs of aging while keeping you looking like YOU.
One of the most exciting treatments we offer is the PDO Thread Lift, especially for targeting those deep nasolabial folds (smile lines) and marionette lines (the lines from your mouth down to your chin). These are common areas of concern—and I’m here to tell you that you don’t need surgery to smooth them out.
Quick Summary:
PDO Barbed Threads (Lifting Threads)
These are tiny dissolvable threads with little barbs that “grip” the tissue under your skin.
When placed, they lift and reposition sagging areas like the cheeks, jawline, and jowls — giving an instant tightening effect.
Over the next few months, they also stimulate your own collagen, which helps improve firmness and skin quality even after the threads dissolve.
The threads themselves dissolve in about 6–9 months, but the lifting and collagen benefits can last up to a year.
They’re great for softening smile lines (nasolabial folds), marionette lines, and restoring a more defined jawline and lower face — all without surgery.
Results are natural-looking, long-lasting, and require minimal downtime.
This treatment is available at Beauty Energy Exchange in Point Loma, San Diego.
A great alternative to a surgical facelift for those who want subtle, natural improvement.
What Are Nasolabial Folds and Marionette Lines?
We all have them—but over time, they deepen.
Nasolabial folds are the creases that run from the corners of your nose to the corners of your mouth.
Marionette lines run from the corners of your mouth down to your chin.
As we age, our skin loses volume and elasticity. Combine that with gravity and repetitive movement (like smiling or talking), and those lines can become more pronounced—sometimes giving us a tired or sad appearance, even when we’re not feeling that way!
How PDO Threads Lift and Smooth These Lines
PDO lifting threads are tiny dissolvable threads with little barbs that grip and lift sagging skin. Once placed under the skin, they give an immediate lifting effect to areas like the cheeks, jawline, and jowls. Over the next few months, they also stimulate collagen, which helps keep skin firmer even after the threads dissolve.
What Happens During the Treatment?
We clean and numb the treatment area (usually with topical anesthetic).
I insert the threads strategically beneath the skin to lift targeted areas.
The threads begin to anchor and tighten the skin immediately.
Over the next 6–12 weeks, your body naturally produces more collagen and elastin—firming and tightening the skin even more.
The procedure takes just 30–45 minutes, and results are visible almost immediately.
Best part? There’s minimal downtime—most people are back to normal within a few days.
Why PDO Thread Lifts Are Better Than Fillers for These Areas
Fillers can be effective—but they add volume, and in the wrong hands or in the wrong place, they can make you look puffy or distorted. With PDO threads, we’re lifting, not filling, which means you get a more natural and contoured result.
