Nasolabial Folds Filler

What are Nasolabial Folds?

Nasolabial folds, often referred to as “smile lines” or “laugh lines,” are the deep creases that run from the sides of the nose down to the corners of the mouth. These lines become more pronounced with age as the skin loses elasticity and volume, contributing to a more aged appearance. While nasolabial folds are a natural part of facial anatomy, many people seek treatment to reduce their prominence for a more youthful look.

How Does Filler Treatment for Nasolabial Folds Work?

Dermal fillers are commonly used to treat nasolabial folds by adding volume beneath the skin’s surface to smooth out these lines and restore a more youthful contour. The most commonly used fillers for this purpose are hyaluronic acid-based, such as Juvederm, Restylane, and others. The filler is injected directly into the nasolabial folds to lift and plump the area, reducing the depth of the lines and creating a smoother transition between the cheeks and the lower face.

Benefits of Treating Nasolabial Folds with Dermal Fillers

• Non-Surgical: The procedure is minimally invasive, with no need for surgery, incisions, or significant recovery time.
• Immediate Results: Patients typically see a noticeable reduction in the appearance of nasolabial folds immediately after the procedure, with full results visible once any initial swelling subsides.
• Long-Lasting Effects: The results of dermal fillers can last anywhere from 6 to 18 months, depending on the type of filler used and individual factors like metabolism.
• Customizable Treatment: The amount and placement of the filler can be tailored to achieve the desired level of correction, ensuring a natural-looking result that complements the patient’s facial features.
