Nasolabial folds, the lines running from the bottom edge of each nostril to the corner of the mouth, become more prominent with age due to loss of skin laxity and volume. Factors like smoking, UV damage, weight fluctuations, and facial muscle movement can exacerbate these lines.
Dermal fillers offer a less invasive option compared to surgery, providing immediate results with minimal side effects. Dermal fillers are gel-based aesthetic treatments injected into the skin to reduce wrinkles, contour the face, and create volume, commonly used for lip enhancement. Benefits of using fillers for nasolabial folds include increased collagen production, enhanced volume around the mouth, overall skin lift, smoother appearance, and immediate results.
A skilled practitioner injects Juvederm filler into the creases to plump and raise the area. The filler's hydrating properties rejuvenate the skin, contributing to a youthful appearance. Additionally, cheek filler may be used to soften or lift nasolabial folds by reintroducing support into the upper face, reducing sagging and prominence of the lines.
At our clinic, expert doctors and registered nurses administer the gel-based filler into the nasolabial lines, ensuring a natural-looking result. The filler, based on a sugar molecule, binds water, acts as a lubricant and shock absorber, and revitalizes the skin by boosting collagen production. The procedure takes approximately 30 minutes and can be performed with numbing cream for comfort.
To achieve the best results, it is essential to follow pre and post-procedure instructions provided by your doctor or nurse injector. Post-treatment care may include applying ice and utilizing LED Light Therapy to reduce swelling or bruising.
