Nasal labial folds (also known as smile or laugh lines), develop as a result of the natural aging process which includes a decline in skin elasticity, and repetitive facial movements. Other factors such as genetics, excess sun exposure and lifestyle habits which include smoking, can cause the nasal labial folds to become more prominent.
One of the most common non-surgical treatment options involves the use of volumising product, that is injected via a needle and or cannula, in-front of the nasal labial folds. By injecting product into in-front of the nasal labial folds, the folds become far less visible. It is important that other areas of the face area are considered when trying to decrease the appearance of the nasal labial folds. For example, some women and men who have lost volume in their cheeks, may be more focused on the nasal labial folds as the face tends to take on a very ‘droop’ look. By simply injecting volumising product into the cheeks, the face can look fuller, lifted and more balanced, which will lead to an indirect decrease in the visibility of the nasal labial folds.
In addition, volume loss can occur in the perioral region (are around the mouth), which can also cause the nasal labial folds to be more prominent. We can address the loss of volume around the mouth, to provide a more harmonies lower-face region.
