What are Nasolabial Folds?
Nasolabial folds, also known as 'smile lines' are the natural creases that extend from the sides of the nose to the corners of the mouth.
They are a prominent feature of facial anatomy and become more noticeable with age due to several factors including:
​
Loss of skin elasticity
Loss of volume in the cheeks
Repetitive facial movements
Gravity
Lifestyle factors
Dermal filler can be placed at multiple depths within the nasolabial folds to effectively soften them.
​
When treating the nasolabial folds, it is often helpful to treat the cheeks at the same time to assist in lifting out the folds.
FAQs
How long do the results last?
Typically nasolabial fold filler results last around 8-12 months
When Will I See the Results?
The results are apparent immediately, however it will usually take 2 weeks before the filler settles and swelling is completely resolved.
What is the Downtime?
This will vary from person-to-person. Some will have no bruising and very mild swelling that is gone within a day or two, whereas some will have noticeable bruising and slightly more pronounced swelling that can take a few days to fully settle. We would always encourage our patients to plan for the more noticeable outcome.
Will it Hurt and How Long Does it Take?
We use a topical numbing cream prior to injecting which is generally very effective. Whilst you can often still feel a small scratch when being injected, it's a generally very well tolerated procedure. The procedure itself can take between 10-20 minutes depending on complexity.
