How are nasolabial folds treated?
Nasolabial folds are the lines that run from the bottom of your nose to the corners of your mouth.
Nasolabial folds typically develop due to:
- A decrease in underlying facial volume: Loss of fat pads and bone structure in the mid-face contributes to the deepening of these lines.
- Descent of cheek tissue: As skin loses elasticity, the cheeks can sag, accentuating the nasolabial folds.
- Repeated facial movements: Smiling and other expressions can contribute to the formation of these lines over time.
- Full cheeks: Large cheeks protrude outwards from the face, creating nasolabial folds.
We can address nasolabial folds without surgery using various methods, tailored to your individual needs. Treatment often aims to address lost volume, stimulate collagen production, and reposition sagging skin.
We want to answer any questions you may have.
If you can’t find the answers to your questions, get in touch with us and we will get back to you as soon as we can.
Nasolabial folds are the lines that extend from the bottom of your nose to the corners of your mouth.
They are sometimes called smile lines because they are more pronounced when smiling.
Nasolabial folds are caused by:
- Full cheeks
- A small upper jaw bone
- Sagging skin
- Facial volume loss
Folds can develop and change over time depending on changes in facial structure.
Nasolabial folds can emerge as the facial structure changes with age. However, nasolabial folds may also exist due to normal variation in facial structure.
While you cannot prevent nasolabial folds, looking after your skin and general health can slow down how quickly they develop.
No, they are different. Nasolabial folds are the lines that extent from your nose to your mouth corners.
Marionette lines are the creases that extend from your mouth corners to the sides of your chin.
Nasolabial folds are treated in various ways depending on their cause and severity.
Non-surgical treatments generally aim to add volume and collagen, and reposition sagging skin.
Surgery involves removing and lifting sagging skin.

Yes, treatments for nasolabial folds can be combined with other treatments, depending on your individual concerns and needs.
A consultation is essential for determining suitability for various treatment combinations.
People’s experiences of discomfort vary, but most report only mild, brief discomfort with non-surgical facial nasolabial fold treatments.
Most treatments involve the use of numbing to minimise discomfort.
Treating nasolabial folds typically takes 10-20 minutes depending on the method and extent.
Realistic expectations are key. Treatments can soften the appearance of nasolabial folds, making them less noticeable. However, complete elimination may not always be possible, especially with non-surgical options.
For deep, long-standing nasolabial folds, non-surgical treatments can reduce their appearance but might not completely erase them.
A skilled and experienced practitioner will aim for natural-looking results that align with your expectations.
Some treatment modalities for nasolabial folds can be reversed, while others can not.
It’s best to discuss whether your treatment plan includes modalities that are reversible with your clinician before proceeding.
Results from treatments for nasolabial folds typically fade slowly over months to years.
Longevity varies depending on the treatment method, extent, and personal lifestyle factors and metabolism.
After undergoing treatment for nasolabial folds you may notice slight redness and swelling around the treated area. This typically resolves over a few days.
Full results develop gradually as the treated area heals.
Treating nasolabial folds typically has short recovery times, with immediate return to most activities possible.
Most people experience slight redness and swelling, while bruising is uncommon.
As with any cosmetic procedure, there are potential risks and side effects when treating nasolabial folds, although they are generally mild and temporary. These can include:
- Bruising
- Swelling
- Redness
- Local tenderness
- Rarely, infection or nerve irritation
