Nasolabial folds are lines that can vary in depth, running from the bridge of the nose to the corner of the lips. These folds are a common contributor to an older and fatigued appearance of the face. However, by using hyaluronic fillers to fill in these wrinkles, it is possible to effectively and long-lastingly restore a youthful and refreshed look to the face.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>

A youthful face is characterized by its fresh, smooth, and radiant appearance. However, as time goes by, the skin gradually loses its luminosity, wrinkles become more prominent, and the face loses volume, firmness, and its natural contours. Among the factors that contribute to an older-looking face, nasolabial folds, often referred to as smile lines, play a significant role. Despite their name, these wrinkles can give the face a sad and fatigued expression. Wrinkles around the lips<\/a> can be visible at any age, but they become more apparent and can detract from the face’s beauty as one ages. Fortunately, there is a way to turn back the clock and rejuvenate the face. Filling<\/a> nasolabial wrinkles with hyaluronic fillers is a highly sought-after procedure by our patients due to its ability to effectively address these concerns and help restore a more youthful appearance.<\/p>\n<\/div>

How do nasolabial folds form?<\/h2><\/h2><\/div>

As we age, several changes occur in the face:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. The resorption of cheekbones: With the passage of time, the cheekbones may experience a reduction in their volume and support. This can cause the fat tissue to descend towards the lower part of the cheeks, leading to more pronounced nasolabial folds.<\/li>\n
  2. Loss of fatty tissue in the central face: The central area of the face, including the under-eye region, may experience a decrease in fatty tissue. This can result in the appearance of sunken, dark circles<\/a> and sagging cheeks. The loss of volume in this area can also make wrinkles around the lips more noticeable.<\/li>\n
  3. Thinning skin and decreased elasticity: Aging also affects the quality of the skin. The skin becomes thinner, less elastic, and less firm, which contributes to the increased visibility of nasolabial wrinkles.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    These natural aging processes can collectively contribute to an older and more tired appearance of the face.<\/p>\n<\/div>

    How to treat nasolabial folds?<\/h2><\/h2><\/div>

    One of the most effective non-surgical methods to eliminate nasolabial folds is the use of hyaluronic fillers<\/a>. To understand why this approach is highly effective, let’s revisit the underlying causes of these wrinkles. The loss of subcutaneous and bone tissue in the midface, particularly the cheekbones, is a significant contributor to the development of nasolabial wrinkles. As we age, the prominence of the cheekbones diminishes, resulting in their blending with the cheeks and a widening of the lower face.
    \nTo address nasolabial wrinkles, hyaluronic fillers are precisely injected into specific points of the cheekbone area known as MD codes (medical codes). These codes, such as Ck1, Ck2, Ck3, and Ck4 (abbreviations for cheekbone), mark the anatomical locations. By injecting hyaluronic acid into these points, the face receives a subtle lift, reducing the appearance of nasolabial wrinkles. For optimal results, a small amount of hyaluronic acid is also injected into the nasolabial folds.

    What does the treatment look like?<\/h2><\/h2><\/div>

    After cleansing the face, a local anesthetic cream is applied to the targeted area to ensure a painless treatment experience. The hyaluronic acid filler is then carefully injected into specific points using thin needles or a cannula. Following the procedure, patients can resume their regular activities immediately, as there is no recovery time required. The entire treatment typically takes approximately 45 minutes.<\/p>\n<\/div>

    Which hyaluronic fillers do we use?<\/h2><\/h2><\/div>

    In our practice, we exclusively use registered and top-quality hyaluronic fillers that are globally recognized for their outstanding results and natural appearance. By using these high-quality products, we can achieve the best possible outcomes for our patients. Among the fillers we employ, JUV\u00c9DERM<\/a> Volift is particularly effective for addressing nasolabial folds, offering maximum safety, natural-looking results, and long-lasting effects. Additionally, we also utilize Restylane and Teosyal<\/a> fillers, which are reputable brands known for their exceptional performance and reliability.<\/p>\n<\/div>

    Will the facial natural expression be maintained?<\/h2><\/h2><\/div>

    The correction of nasolabial wrinkles<\/a> with hyaluronic fillers aims to restore youthful contours to the face,\u00a0 making them less visible. This is exactly why we use MD Codes<\/i>, an injection technique that has proven to be the most effective because it treats the points where the greatest loss of volume has occurred. In this way, with a minimal amount of filler, we get an excellent effect while maintain the natural look.<\/p>\n<\/div>

    <\/div>

    How long does the effect last?<\/h2><\/h2><\/div>

    The effect of correction of nasolabial wrinkles<\/a> with hyaluronic fillers lasts 12-15 months.<\/p>\n<\/div>

    When is the right time to fill nasolabial folds?<\/h2><\/h2><\/div>

    Each person’s skin and facial structure are unique, resulting in individual variations in the aging process. Factors such as skin type, quality, subcutaneous tissue, and bone structure contribute to this diversity. While some individuals maintain a youthful appearance for a longer time, others may experience premature aging due to various internal and external factors. Although the timing can vary, nasolabial wrinkles typically start to appear after the age of 30. As a result, this treatment is commonly sought by patients between the ages of 30 and 45.
