Nasolabial folds are the deep lines that extend from beside your nostrils towards your mouth corners.
They are sometimes called smile lines because they are more pronounced when smiling.
We can treat nasolabial folds by restoring volume and smoothing the fold with dermal fillers. The general approach to treating nasolabial folds with fillers is to focus on the:
- Cheeks with cheek filler to add projection and support above the fold
- The pyriform fossa (a space beside the nostrils) to support the fold
- The nasolabial fold itself
Nasolabial fold filler adds support to the fold. This adds projection, reducing the depth of the nasolabial folds.
Nasolabial folds are caused by:
- Very full cheeks
- A small upper jaw bone
- Sagging skin
- Facial volume loss
Nasolabial folds become more pronounced with age as the facial tissues sag and become hollow.
You can consider getting nasolabial fold filler whenever you see the lines begin to develop.
Most commonly, people start to develop nasolabial folds in their early 30’s as their face begins to lose volume with age.
People in their 20’s may also consider nasolabial fold filler if they have the lines due to genetics or significant weight loss.
After your consultation, we clean, mark, and numb the skin around your nasolabial folds.
Once numb, we use tiny needles or a blunt-tipped cannula to carefully place nasolabial fold filler.
After injection, we mould the filler smooth.
Nasolabial fold fillers take 10-20 minutes to perform.
When performed carefully with strong numbing and premium fillers that contain local anaesthetic, nasolabial fold fillers have minimal discomfort.
Most people need 1-2mls of dermal filler to treat their nasolabial folds.
You will see an immediate result from nasolabial fold filler. Allow 1-2 days for swelling to subside, and 1-2 weeks for the filler to settle.
Nasolabial fold fillers last 12-24 months on average.
You can increase the longevity by having regular maintenance treatments.
Prepare for nasolabial fold fillers with these steps:
- Cease all supplements 1 week before your treatment (unless taking for medical reasons)
- Avoid excessive alcohol for 24 hours before your treatment
- Attend your appointment without makeup
After nasolabial fold fillers, you’ll see an immediate improvement in your nasolabial folds. There may be slight redness and swelling, which resolve in 1-2 days.
You can do light exercise immediately after nasolabial fold fillers. Wait 24 hours before intense exercise to minimise swelling.
When performed by a qualified medical professional, nasolabial fold fillers are categorised as a low-risk treatment.
The most common side effects from nasolabial fold fillers are mild redness and swelling that resolve in 1-2 days.
Very rare risks of nasolabial fold filler include infection and skin injury.
The following groups are not suitable for nasolabial fold fillers:
- Aged under 18
- Currently pregnant or breastfeeding
- Those with severe sagging of the nasolabial folds
- People with unrealistic expectations about what can be achieved with nasolabial fold fillers

How are nasolabial folds treated with dermal filler?
Nasolabial folds are the grooves that extend down and out from the nostrils to the mouth corners. While some people have genetic nasolabial folds from early adulthood, others develop them with age.
Nasolabial foldsresult from a loss or lack of underlying bone and fat structure, and skin sagging.
Treating nasolabial folds with dermal filler is a two-step process. Firstly, we place dermal fillers to the deeper layers beneath the nasolabial folds. This adds support beneath the skin and facial muscles. Secondly, we inject a small amount of dermal filler beneath the skin of the nasolabial fold.
We use a needle, cannula, or a combination to inject the nasolabial folds. The technique used depends on the specific goal of the treatment and your unique anatomy.
The benefits of treating the nasolabial folds with dermal fillers include:
- Non-invasive, no downtime treatment with immediate result
- Convenient option taking only 10-20 minutes on average
- Achieves natural yet noticeable improvements in the appearance of nasolabial folds and sagging skin.
If you have severe nasolabial folds, we recommend combining your fillers with thread lifting. This repositions sagging skin, and gives a more noticeable result when combined with nasolabial fold fillers.
Nasolabial Fold Filler
Smooth ageing smile lines with minimal discomfort and no downtime with nasolabial fold filler.
Nasolabial folds are the grooves that develop between your nose and mouth corners. They occur with ageing, although some people have genetic nasolabial folds. They give an aged and saggy appearance.
Age, sun damage, weight loss and smoking all contribute to nasolabial folds. These factors cause you to lose collagen and elastin, accelerating skin sagging. Age also causes cheek volume loss. Flat cheeks further contribute to the appearance of nasolabial folds.
Many people hate their nasolabial folds, and look for treatments to get rid of them.

We can inject your nasolabial folds using premium dermal fillers in two ways:
- Needle – Using an ultra-fine needle, we place the filler just beneath the skin in linear threads. We can also place the filler deeply next to your nose, for a more comprehensive result.
- Cannula – We can use a small, blunt cannula to smoothyl layer the filler beneath the skin of the nasolabial fold.
For more pronounced nasolabial folds, we may need to combine treatments.

- Cheek filler to help lift smooth the nasolabial fat

How Does Nasolabial Fold Filler Work?
Nasolabial folds result from facial fat loss and sagging skin. Nasal fold filler replaces lost volume around your nasal folds, reducing their appearance.
When we inject hyaluronic acid dermal filler in your nasolabial folds, they reduce. The filler supports the skin, and smooths the creases. This gives a refreshed appearance around your nasal folds.
How Many mls of Filler Will I Need?
The volume of dermal filler required to treat nasolabial folds depends on how deep they are. During your consultation, we will advise on the amount of filler you need to improve your nasolabial folds. We will also determine the best type of dermal filler for the job.
Most people need half a ml of dermal filler to each nasolabial fold. If you have deeper folds, you might need more filler than this.
