Marionette Lines Treatment with PDO Threads and Volumisers
At Pearl Medispa, our doctors offer a range of non-surgical treatments to soften marionette lines, also known as mouth lines. These lines, which run from the corners of the mouth to the chin, can give the face a downturned, aged appearance. Our approach includes advanced options such as PDO threads for marionette lines, volumisers, HIFU skin tightening, and thread lifts, allowing us to tailor a treatment plan that best addresses each individual’s needs.
Marionette Lines Treatment Options
A combination of techniques may be used to achieve the best outcomes. Our options include:
-
PDO Mono Threads—This option is appropriate for mild to moderate marionette lines. PDO threads encourage collagen growth, adding subtle volume and tightening the skin. They are minimally invasive and address skin laxity, improving marionette line appearance.
-
Non-surgical volume enhancement – Volumisers can fill and support the skin under the marionette lines, helping to lift the corners of the mouth and reduce the appearance of deep folds. These treatments do give immediate results that last up to 18 months.
-
Skin Tightening Treatments: For those with advanced skin laxity, skin tightening treatments like HIFU can help firm the lower face, reducing the visibility of marionette lines, jowls, and other age-related concerns. These treatments complement the effects of volumisers and threads. HIFU Jowl | Jawline Lower Face: $388.70 | 20% Off (Usually $599)
-
Wrinkle Treatments: Relaxing the muscles around the mouth can help soften marionette lines and restore a natural curve to the lips. This treatment is often combined with volumisers or threads for comprehensive results.
- Surgical Options: We do not provide surgical treatments, but sometimes, this is the best option for advanced laxity. There are risks with this, so please consult with a plastic surgeon if you want to consider this option.
The Importance of Marionette Lines and Facial Balance
Prominent marionette lines can disrupt facial harmony, creating a frame distracting from the face’s natural contours. Our treatments aim to soften these lines, restoring a balanced appearance without altering your unique features.
Marionette lines are the lines that extend from the corners of the mouth down towards the chin. They get their name from the resemblance to the lines on a marionette puppet, and they can give the face a downturned, sad, or tired expression. These lines are also sometimes referred to as a “mouth frown.”
What Causes Marionette Lines?
Marionette lines develop over time due to natural changes in the skin and underlying facial tissue. Two main factors contribute to their formation: increased skin laxity and the gradual downward shift of facial fat due to gravity. A connective tissue band holding the skin to the bone in this region anchors the folds created by facial fat pads as they descend.
Reducing the appearance of marionette lines can require a combination of treatments that address both volume loss and skin laxity. Different treatment modalities, such as volumisers, PDO threads, and skin tightening, complement each other.

Marionette Lines Treatment
PDO Threads for Marionette Lines
PDO threads are a popular option for treating marionette lines without surgery. This technique involves inserting tiny threads under the skin to stimulate collagen production, tightening and smoothing the skin. PDO threads provide subtle lifting and support to the marionette line area, making them an ideal choice for those with moderate skin laxity. This approach is often combined with other treatments to enhance results.
Thread Lift for Marionette Lines
A barbed thread lift may be recommended for deeper lines or more advanced sagging. Barbed threads are longer and specially designed to reposition and lift the skin, offering a more significant improvement in the appearance of marionette lines. This type of marionette lines thread lift can provide lasting results, helping to lift and reshape the lower face for a rejuvenated look.
Volumisers for Marionette Lines
Volumisers offer a non-surgical solution to soften marionette lines by filling the area beneath the mouth and along the chin. This treatment helps lift the corners of the mouth, adding support and restoring balance to the lower face. Depending on the degree of volume loss, our doctors may recommend combining this treatment with cheek or jaw contouring to enhance the overall facial structure.
For those experiencing early signs of marionette lines or skin laxity, skin tightening treatments can help maintain a firmer appearance. Options such as HIFU, laser skin resurfacing, and radiofrequency treatments work by stimulating collagen production, improving skin elasticity, and reducing the appearance of marionette lines. These non-invasive treatments can be combined with PDO threads and volumisers for optimal results.
- Consultation – Our doctors will conduct a comprehensive skin assessment and discuss your desired results to create a personalised treatment plan.
- Procedure – Treatment for marionette lines is usually completed in 30–60 minutes. Local anaesthetic is available to enhance comfort, especially for PDO threads or volumisers.
- Results and Recovery – Results are visible immediately for volumisers, while PDO threads will show progressive improvements as collagen forms. Common side effects may include mild swelling or bruising, which typically resolves within a week.
- Longevity of Results – PDO threads and volumisers provide long-lasting effects, with results lasting from 12 to 18 months. Follow-up treatments can help maintain your refreshed appearance.
- All treatments have potential side effects and these must be considered before embarking on any cosmetic treatment.
Choosing the Best Treatment for Your Marionette Lines
The best approach for you depends on the depth of the lines, skin laxity, and individual goals. Our doctors can discuss:
- PDO Threads for a collagen-stimulating lift
- Barbed Thread Lift for moderate lifting of deeper lines
- Volumisers for immediate volume and lift
- Skin Tightening for enhanced firmness and elasticity
Combining treatments like HIFU, PDO threads or non-surgical volume enhancement can achieve more balanced results.
