    Treatment info

    What the treatment can do

    Nasolabial fold treatments offer several benefits for a refreshed and more youthful appearance. These popular methods provide a convenient non-surgical solution that can:

    • Soften the appearance of the lines extending from the bottom of the nose to the corners of the mouth.
    • Address the volume loss and shadowing that contribute to the prominence of these folds.
    • Create a smoother transition between the cheeks and top lip.
    • Slow down the deepening of these lines over time.

    Suitability

    Treatments targeting nasolabial folds can effectively improve the appearance of ageing in the mid-face.

    These treatments work best for mild to moderate nasolabial folds, which develop due to a combination of factors such as volume loss in the cheeks and upper jaw, decreased collagen and elastin production, and the natural sagging of skin.

    During your consultation, our experienced clinicians will evaluate your nasolabial folds and recommend the whether non-surgical treatments are a suitable option for you.

    Preparation

    For optimal nasolabial fold treatment and to minimise potential side effects, please adhere to the following preparation guidelines:

    • Ensure your skin is free of all makeup immediately before your appointment.
    • Avoid consuming alcohol for at least 24 hours prior to your appointment to reduce the risk of bruising.
    • To prevent feeling lightheaded during of after your appointment, please drink plenty of water and have a light meal before you arrive.

    Aftercare

    After your treatment for nasolabial folds, proper aftercare is crucial for optimal healing and results:

    • Avoid makeup, alcohol, smoking and intense exercise for 24 hours.
    • Gently apply a wrapped cold pack to the treated areas to minimise swelling and bruising for 20 minutes every hour.
    • Refrain from applying pressure to the treated areas until healed.

    Results

    You can enjoy a return to your normal daily activities immediately after treating your nasolabial folds. The full results will develop over the following days, leaving you with a refreshed and more rested look.

    Depending on your individual treatment plan, maintenance sessions are usually recommended every 12-24 months to sustain your results.

    For a harmonious facial rejuvenation, we can also discuss treatments to complement your results, such as addressing wrinkles, jowls, and marionette lines.

      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:

      • 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.

      Yes, nasolabial folds are one of the earliest sign of ageing. How quickly you develop them depends on your genetics, and how you’ve looked after your skin and overall health.

      While you cannot prevent nasolabial folds, looking after your skin and general help can slow down how quickly they develop.

      Investing in cosmetic treatments to restore volume and collagen is another highly effective way to slow down nasolabial folds.

      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 restore volume, boost collagen, and reposition sagging skin.

      Surgery involves removing and lifting sagging skin.

      The cost of treating your nasolabial folds will vary significantly depending on the type and extent of treatment you require. The experience of the clinician performing the treatment also plays a role.

      Most non-surgical treatments for nasolabial folds cost about $1,000-$2,000.

      Yes, treatments for nasolabial folds are often combined with other treatments to contour jowls, smooth marionette lines, and lift downturned mouth corners. This achieves a more balanced facial rejuvenation.

      Discomfort when treating nasolabial folds is usually minimal. For most treatments, topical numbing is applied beforehand to minimise any discomfort. Occasionally, injectable anaesthetic may also be used for more extensive treatments.

      Treating nasolabial folds typically takes 10-20 minutes depending on the modalities used for your procedure.

      Realistic expectations are key. Treatments can significantly soften the appearance of nasolabial folds, making them less noticeable and creating a more youthful look. However, complete elimination may not always be possible, especially with non-surgical options for deep lines.

      To achieve the best results, a combination of treatment methods is generally recommended.

      For deep, long-standing nasolabial folds, non-surgical treatments may significantly improve their appearance but might not completely erase them. Surgical facelifts offer the best chance for complete removal of severe folds.

      A skilled and experienced practitioner will aim for natural-looking results that enhance your features without appearing overdone or artificial. The key factors that give natural-looking improvements in nasolabial folds are to use the right modalities, the right extent, and the right technique.

      In many cases, results from nasolabial fold treatments can be reversed.

      It’s best to discuss with your chosen specialist whether your treatment plan includes modalities that are reversible before committing to treatment.

      The results from treating nasolabial folds generally require maintenance every 12-24 months.

      The longevity will vary depending on the severity of your folds, your metabolism, the extent of treatment, and the specific treatment modalities used for your procedure.

      After undergoing treatment for nasolabial folds you may notice slight redness and swelling around the treated area. This typically resolved quickly.

      As your treatment settles, you’ll notice a reduction in the severity of your nasolabial folds, giving a refreshed appearance.

      Downtime after treating nasolabial folds is generally minimal to none. You may experience some mild redness, swelling, or bruising at the treatment sites, but this usually resolves within a few days. You can typically return to your normal activities immediately after the procedure.

      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
