Reducing Wrinkles and Restoring Facial Freshness

Purpose of Nasolabial Fold Filler Treatment
Nasolabial folds, commonly known as smile lines, are creases that extend from the sides of the nose to the corners of the mouth. As we age, collagen and elastin production decrease, facial fat diminishes, and skin laxity increases, making these folds more pronounced and giving the face a more aged and tired appearance. Filler injections in this area reduce the depth of these lines, restore lost volume, and improve overall facial harmony, resulting in a fresher, more youthful, and rejuvenated look.

Who is a Good Candidate for Nasolabial Fold Filler?
• Individuals with deep smile lines that contribute to an aged or tired appearance.
• Those experiencing volume loss and skin sagging in the mid-face region.
• People looking for a non-surgical alternative to facelift procedures.
• Individuals who wish to refresh their appearance without altering their natural facial structure.

Procedure
• Topical anesthesia with numbing cream or lidocaine for comfort.
• Precise filler injection along the nasolabial folds to soften deep creases and restore volume.
• Gentle shaping and contouring to maintain a natural and well-balanced look.
• Light massage to ensure even distribution and prevent uneven filler placement.

Pre- and Post-Treatment Care
Before the treatment:
• Avoid blood-thinning medications (aspirin, ibuprofen) for at least 48 hours.
• Refrain from alcohol and caffeine on the day of the procedure.
• Stay hydrated to maintain skin elasticity.

After the treatment:
• Avoid touching or applying pressure to the treated area.
• Minimize excessive facial movements (e.g., excessive chewing or laughing) for 24 hours.
• Avoid intense exercise, alcohol, and heat exposure for 48 hours.

Longevity and Side Effects
Nasolabial fold filler results typically last 12 to 18 months, depending on the type of filler used and individual metabolic response. Mild swelling, bruising, and temporary sensitivity may occur but usually resolve within a few days. This treatment smooths smile lines, enhances facial volume, and rejuvenates the overall facial appearance for a refreshed and youthful look.
