Nasolabial folds are the two skin folds that run from each side of the nose to the corners of the mouth. As we age, they gradually deepen and – if not treated – will eventually give your face a tired and sad expression.
Dermal fillers allow us to smooth out these folds, so that they will no longer attract people’s attention. Depending on the depth of the folds and the type of skin your treating physician will chose a thicker or thinner gel, and inject it directly under the folds, bringing back your face’s natural but refreshed expression. Depending on the chosen gel the results will last for 12 to 18 months.
When treating nasolabial folds taking take the cheek and cheek line’s volume into account it is really essential . For when they appear to have lost volume, restoring that volume helps to slightly lift the nasolabial fold. This optimizes the final result of your treatment and makes it last.
Often fine lines and wrinkles appear near the nasolabial folds. They are commonly called smile lines and caused by a combination of hyperactive mimic muscles and loss of elasticity and smoothness. We feel this problem is best solved by using an appropriate gel, designed to treat this particular facial area.
