Nasolabial folds, also known as smile lines, can be treated in a combination of ways.

Excluding surgery, the most effective way to improve nasolabial folds is with dermal filler or collagen stimulating injections. These restore volume to the mid face, supporting and directly camouflaging the nasolabial folds.

The areas that can be treated with cosmetic injectables to reduce nasolabial folds include:

• The cheeks with cheek filler to add projection and support the skin above the fold
• The pyriform fossa (a space beside the nostrils, just shallow to the upper jaw bone) to restore or enhance supportive volume on the upper jaw
• The skin of the nasolabial fold itself to soften their appearance

After cleaning, marking and numbing the skin of your nasolabial folds, tiny needles or blunt-tipped cannulae will be used to precisely place dermal filler beneath the skin.

The filler will then be moulded smooth, the skin cleaned again, and the treatment will be finished.

When performed correctly and with the appropriate use of anaesthetic, there is minimal discomfort when having nasolabial fold fillers.

At Cosmetic Connection Melbourne, your comfort is one of our highest priorities. We use tiny needles, strong numbing, and premium dermal fillers that are mixed with local anaesthetic. This ensures your nasolabial fold treatment has almost no discomfort.

The result from nasolabial fold dermal filler is seen immediately.

It is important to let treatment-related swelling to resolve, and to allow 2-4 weeks for the filler to settle before assessing the final result.

Dermal fillers usually last 12-24 months when used in the nasolabial folds. Some people may need more than one session to get the most stable result, and the result can last longer when you’ve had more than one treatment.

There are a few steps to take before having nasolabial fold fillers in Melbourne to optimise your result, and lower the risk of side effects. They include:

• Cease all anti-inflammatories, aspirin, herbal supplements, fish oil, krill oil, glucosamine and vitamin E 1 week before your treatment (unless you have been advised to take these by a medical practitioner)
• Avoid excessive alcohol for 24 hours before your treatment
• Attend your appointment without makeup

After having nasolabial fold fillers in Melbourne, you may notice slight redness, swelling and tenderness at the injected area. This is normal and will resolve quickly in a few days.

The filler will take 2-4 weeks to fully soften and settle, at which time you can assess the final result.

When performed correctly by an appropriately qualified medical professional nasolabial fold fillers are categorised as a low-risk treatment.

Visiting an experienced, doctor-led cosmetic clinic in Melbourne is the best way to ensure that your nasolabial fold fillers are performed as safely as possible.
