What is Nasolabial Folds Filler?

Ideal candidates for Nasolabial Fold Filler include those who:
• Have deep nasolabial folds or smile lines that have developed over time.
• Are looking for a non-surgical solution to rejuvenate the lower face.
• Are in good overall health with no active skin conditions or infections in the treatment area.
• Have realistic expectations and desire natural-looking results.
What Areas are Targeted by Nasolabial Fold Filler?
While the primary focus of this treatment is the deep folds around the mouth, dermal fillers can also enhance surrounding areas to create a more balanced and youthful appearance:
• Cheeks – Adding volume to the cheeks can provide a subtle lift, reducing the prominence of Nasolabial Folds.
• Marionette Lines – Filler can be used to soften the lines that extend from the mouth corners to the chin.
Jawline & Chin – In some cases, strategic filler placement in these areas enhances overall facial harmony.
What to Expect During the Procedure?
Your Nasolabial Fold Filler treatment begins with a thorough consultation to discuss your goals and assess the best approach for your unique needs. The procedure itself is quick and minimally invasive, typically taking 15 to 30 minutes.
• Consultation: We’ll take time to understand your expectations and ensure the procedure is tailored to your facial structure.
• Numbing: A numbing cream or local anaesthetic will be applied to the treatment area to ensure you are comfortable throughout the procedure.
• Injection: Dermal filler will be precisely injected into the nasolabial folds, targeting the lines to restore volume and smooth the area. You may feel slight pressure or a mild pinch during the procedure, but the treatment is generally well-tolerated.
• Immediate Results: The results will be visible right away, with your smile lines and wrinkles softened and the treated areas looking fuller and more youthful.
After Treatment:
• Expect mild swelling, redness, or bruising, which typically subsides within a few days.
• Avoid excessive facial movements and refrain from touching the treated area for the first 24 hours.
• Steer clear of strenuous exercise, saunas, and direct sun exposure for at least 48 hours.
• Maintain hydration and follow a gentle skincare routine.
• Sleep with your head slightly elevated to reduce swelling.
• Adhere to any personalized aftercare instructions provided by your practitioner.
