What Causes Smile Lines?
Smile lines, also known as cheek lines or laugh lines, develop around the mouth and extend outward due to natural facial movement, skin laxity, and volume loss over time. Although we smile when these lines appear, this is not why they form. Instead, they result from structural changes in the skin, such as decreased collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid, which lead to less skin elasticity and resilience. Factors like sun exposure, smoking, and environmental stressors can accelerate these changes, breaking down essential skin components that maintain firmness and volume. Additionally, the gradual loss of underlying fat can cause the skin to sag, creating folds that become more pronounced with age.
Because cheek lines create a frame around the mouth that may detract from facial harmony, our approach to smile lines treatment focuses on restoring this balance with targeted PDO threads for smile lines, volumisers, and skin-tightening techniques.
Why Choose Pearl Medispa for Your Smile Line Treatment?
Smile lines can develop even in younger individuals, often creating a frame around the mouth that may appear out of balance with other facial features. Addressing these lines enhances facial harmony by supporting skin structure and targeting volume loss.
Our doctors assess the aesthetic profile of your cheek lines to recommend the best approach, whether PDO threads for smile lines, threads for smile lines, or a combination of plumpers and skin tightening. We focus on creating natural, balanced results that complement your face’s overall form.
Cheek Line Treatment Options
PDO Threads for Smile Lines
PDO threads are a leading non-surgical option for smile line treatment, providing benefits for skin tightening and collagen stimulation. Tiny threads, around 3–5 cm in length, are gently inserted into the skin’s subcutaneous layer to target laugh lines. Between 60 and 100 threads may be used for optimal results. PDO threads for smile lines stimulate collagen production, giving the skin a firmer and lifted appearance over time. This minimally invasive treatment is ideal for individuals with deeper or more fixed laugh lines.
In cases where smile lines are moderate, smile line plumpers can restore volume under the skin, creating a smoother appearance when smiling. These volumisers are strategically placed perpendicular to and beneath the lines to soften their appearance. For early-stage cheek lines, a plumping treatment can effectively reduce the wrinkling effect accompanying smiling, offering subtle yet noticeable enhancement.
Skin Tightening Treatments for Smile Lines
We recommend skin tightening treatments for more advanced laugh lines caused by skin laxity. Options like Tixel or CO2 laser resurfacing help address deeper lines by promoting skin renewal and tightening. Additionally, radiofrequency treatments such as Infini or Secret RF can stimulate collagen and elastin production, improving skin firmness and reducing the appearance of laugh lines over time. These can be used in combination with plumpers and PDO thread treatments to achieve superior results
