How are nasolabial folds treated?
Nasolabial folds are the lines that run from the bottom of your nose to the corners of your mouth. They are a common sign of aging and a frequent concern for those considering cosmetic treatments.
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.
We can address nasolabial folds without surgery using various methods, tailored to your individual ageing pattern. Treatment targets include addressing lost volume, stimulating collagen production, repositioning sagging skin, and sometimes targeting mild skin laxity in the area.
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:
- 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.
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.
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 for jowls, marionette lines, and downturned mouth corners.
Discomfort when treating nasolabial folds is usually minimal, although you’ll feel some slight pinching on occasion. For most treatments, topical numbing is applied beforehand to minimise any discomfort.
Treating nasolabial folds typically takes 10-20 minutes depending on the modalities used for your procedure.
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 lines.
For deep, long-standing nasolabial folds, non-surgical treatments can 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 don’t 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.
Some treatment modalities used to reduce nasolabial folds can be reversed.
It’s best to discuss with your chosen clinician whether your treatment plan includes modalities that are reversible before proceeding.
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.
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
