Nasolabial Folds Treatment

Dermal fillers, made of hyaluronic acid (a substance naturally found in the skin), are injected into the nasolabial fold area to replace lost volume. This helps plump the skin, smooth lines and enhance facial contours.

Aging: As we age, the skin naturally loses collagen and elastin, the proteins responsible for keeping the skin firm and youthful. This leads to sagging and the deepening of lines and folds.

Sun Damage: UV exposure breaks down collagen and elastin, increases the formation of free radicals, reduces skin elasticity, and accelerates the formation of wrinkles and folds over time.

Smoking: Smoking contributes to the breakdown of skin fibres, reduces skin turnover and reduces blood flow, which can cause the nasolabial folds to become deeper, longer or more prominent.

Weight Loss: Significant weight loss, especially large and frequency fluctuations can result in a loss of facial volume, making nasolabial folds more prominent.

Genetics: Some people are more prone to developing nasolabial folds due to their genetic makeup. You may have noticed family members who have similar lines appearing.

Nasolabial fold filler treatment is most ideal for anyone over the age of 18 who wants to reduce the appearance of deep lines and restore a more youthful, refreshed look.

Usually clients begin to consider this treatment when they notice the development of nasolabial folds, which typically appear in the early thirties as a result of natural volume loss due to aging. However, there is no specific age requirement, anyone concerned about the appearance of these lines can explore this treatment option.

Before proceeding, a consultation with a qualified health practitioner is necessary to assess your individual needs and ensure the treatment is right for you. This allows us to tailor the approach for the best possible results based on your goals.

Benefits of Nasolabial Folds filler include:

• Increased collagen in the skin which helps to add volume to the targeted area
• Overall lift of the nasolabial fold in the most natural way possible
• Minimal discomfort, downtime and good side effect profile
• Minimally invasive
• Immediate results
• Youthful, more rejuvenated appearance

The recovery period after dermal fillers is usually short, although it is common to have some bruising or swelling which should subside within a few days after the treatment. Applying ice can help swelling and bruising subside faster. Following your treatment, you need to avoid exercising and drinking alcohol for the next 24 hours. You should also avoid swimming and saunas for one week after the treatment.

The results of Nasolabial Folds filler typically last about 6-18 months. While the effects can be long-lasting, periodic maintenance treatments are necessary to sustain the results in the long run. Please contact our team regarding a personalised treatment plans for your long-term maintenance.
