“Smile lines” are something that are typically associated with people who live a happy life. While that is certainly a good thing, these smile lines aren’t something that a lot of people would like to see on their face at all times.
Unfortunately, as we age, these lines become more present, even when we aren’t smiling. These nasolabial folds occur as people get older, due to fat pads in the face descending as gravity seems to pull harder on us.
These fat pads end up folding around ligaments that run from your nose to your mouth.
As you probably have already heard before, there’s nothing you can do to prevent the effects of aging. However, there is a lot you can do to reverse the signs of aging in your face.
Today, one of the leading ways to get a nasolabial fold treatment is through PDO threads. Below, we’ll discuss how this is done and what a nasolabial fold treatment before and after looks like.
When you get a nasolabial fold treatment using PDO threads, you are going to see the best results possible, in the least minimally-invasive way possible. Since the PDO threads will be inserted in a grid-like pattern between your nose and mouth, you will see some immediate results. You will see your skin lifted back up into the place you want it to be, rather than sagging as it was before your procedure.

PDO threads are dissolvable sutures that have been used in surgical procedures for more than 50 years now. Using natural processes, your body breaks them down on its own, which means they don’t have to be removed once they’ve been inserted.
In the last 20 years or so, these threads — made from a synthetic polymer that is completely biocompatible and biodegradable — have been used more and more in aesthetic medicine procedures.
Your provider will insert the PDO threads into your skin via a pre-loaded canula. Barbs on the threads will then grab onto parts of your skin and literally lift it up, to mimic the results of a surgical facelift.
Since there is no surgery required, though, these procedures are considered minimally invasive. They are usually completed within an hour, and you can resume your daily activities as soon as you leave the office.
PDO threads are used to treat a number of different “problem areas,” especially in the face. That’s why they are used in nasolabial fold treatments.
As mentioned above, barbed PDO threads will be inserted into your skin to lift parts of it up. This will help to correct the parts of your face that have begun to sag.
In most cases, the PDO threads will be inserted as a combination treatment for both nasolabial folds and also areas in your lower face. What this does is ensure that there is symmetry across the entire lower half of your face, which often needs to be treated together for this reason.
As such, multiple PDO threads will need to be inserted into this region of your face for the procedure to be successful.
Following the procedure, you may experience minor bruising and/or swelling, which is very common. This usually resolves itself within about a week, and you can treat it with ice and some over-the-counter medications.
Your provider should provide you with a list of things to avoid in the first few weeks after your treatment to ensure the PDO threads remain in place and that healing goes well. This includes avoiding taking any medications with aspirin or NSAIDs.

The best part about PDO threads for nasolabial fold treatments, though, is that the results will continue to look better over time. This is because of the natural healing process your body goes through that we discussed above.
Part of the way your body breaks down the PDO threads is by producing extra collagen in the treated area. This collagen not only breaks down the threads, but contributes to the results of your procedure lasting even longer.
What’s more, collagen gives your skin extra elasticity and plumpness, which makes you look even more youthful than before.
If you’re interested in a nasolabial fold treatment, you should definitely consider the minimally-invasive option of PDO threads. There are many benefits of this treatment, which we have listed above.
