Nasolabial Filling
Nasolabial Filling – Nasolabial folds are wrinkles in your skin that run from either side of your nose to the corners of your mouth. They are also called smile lines or laugh lines. Wrinkles can become prominent and permanent as you age, especially if you smoke or don’t protect your skin from the sun. Some treatments can reduce these unwanted appearances. The surest and easiest way of these is Nasolabial Filler application.
What are the nasolabial folds?
Nasolabial folds are wrinkles on your skin that extend from both sides of your nose to the corners of your mouth. As they age, they may become more prominent and permanent. They are often called laugh lines or smile lines.
Are smile lines common?
Smile lines are very common in men and women of all races – they become more pronounced as they age.
What causes nasolabial folds?
The leading causes of nasolabial folds are:
Aging: As you get older, your cheekbones may flatten and gravity may pull down the loose skin in the area. Also, your skin has less collagen and elastin. These natural substances give the skin its elasticity, suppleness, suppleness and the ability to maintain its original shape.
Smoking: Smoking destroys the collagen and elastin in your skin.
Sun damage: Sun rays also break down collagen and elastin.
Weight loss or gain: If you lose a lot of weight, you may have extra, looser skin. If you gain weight, you may have bigger cheeks. Both conditions can accentuate the nasolabial folds.
What are the symptoms of laugh lines?
Laugh lines appear as folds in your skin from either side of your nose to the corners of your mouth. When you’re younger, folds may only appear when you smile or laugh, then fade as your face relaxes. However, over time, lines can become deep, permanent wrinkles that appear whether you smile or not. They can be symmetrical or asymmetrical.
How are nasolabial folds diagnosed?
There are no tests for nasolabial folds. You either see them or you don’t. Only you can decide whether you want to seek medical treatment for signs of aging. With Nasolabial Filler application, the prominence of these folds can be significantly reduced.
How do you reduce nasolabial folds?
If you decide to treat nasolabial folds, talk to a surgeon. Options include:
Botulinum toxin injections: Commonly referred to by the brand Botox®, botulinum toxin injections are best known for reducing the appearance of the frown lines between your eyes. But Botox can also be used to weaken and relax a particular muscle that contributes to the nasolabial folds. Botox injections can reduce the appearance of nasolabial folds for several months.
Dermal fillers: Dermal filler is an injection of a substance to fill the wrinkles on your skin. The substance fills the space, restoring volume and fullness. Its effects can last from six months to a year. Popular fillers include hyaluronic acid, polylactic acid, calcium hydroxylapatite, and polymethyl-methacrylate microspheres (PMMA).
Retinoids: Applying this chemical form of vitamin C to your skin can stimulate collagen production and reduce smile lines over time.
Skin tightening procedures: Treatments with lasers, ultrasound or radio waves can help stimulate collagen production and tighten loose skin.
Surgery: Aesthetic surgery can reposition and reshape your skin and underlying tissues. Options for reducing nasolabial folds include cheek lift or face lift.

How can I reduce my risk of nasolabial folds?
Some strategies can reduce your risk of developing laugh lines, delaying their appearance, and making them less obvious:
- Eat healthy and get plenty of exercise and sleep. The healthier you are, the healthier your skin will be.
- Do not use anything that rubs or burns on your skin unless prescribed by a healthcare provider. Irritation can increase signs of aging.
- Do not work on your tan with the sun or solarium. Ultraviolet rays can accelerate aging and wrinkles. It can also cause age spots and skin cancer.
- Quit smoking, don’t even start.
- Sleep on your back. This can help gravity work against laugh lines. If you are a side sleeper, try to switch sides regularly.
- Use a gentle cleanser and moisturizer at least twice a day. Understand the ingredients in your skin care products. Consult your dermatologist for your skin type and personal goals.
- Use sunscreen of at least 30 SPF every day. Reapply every two hours – more often if you’re sweating or swimming.
- Nasolabial Filler application will give the result you expect.
