Category: Nasolabial folds

Nasolabial folds are a type of wrinkle that develops around the inner cheeks. They run the length of your nose and into the corners of your mouth.

Everyone has some degree of these wrinkles, although they tend to deepen with age and other circumstances.

While there are several wrinkle treatments available, physicians frequently recommend dermal fillers as the first line of treatment.

Depending on the severity of the nasolabial folds and any additional issues, such as drooping skin, alternative therapies may be performed.

Let us review the advantages and disadvantages so that you can explore them further with a specialist.

Treatment of the nasolabial folds with a filler
Dermal fillers are injectable substances that are used to repair facial wrinkles. They function by “plumping” the area of skin, smoothing out fine lines and deep wrinkles.

All fillers work by stimulating collagen production, a skin-plumping protein that naturally declines with age.

The most often used fillers for nasolabial folds are hyaluronic acid-based. This filler material is created naturally by the skin and aids in firmness and hydration.

The following hyaluronic acid fillers are FDA-approved for nasolabial fold treatment:

Restylane Revanesse Versa Bellafill Belotero Juvéderm Prevelle Silk Restylane Revanesse Versa
Other fillers, such as calcium hydroxylapatite (Radiesse) and poly-L-lactic acid, may be recommended by a dermatologist for certain sorts of wrinkles (Sculptra).

After assisting you in determining the optimum type of filler, your dermatologist will inject it directly into places along your nasolabial folds. These fillers will eventually disappear from your body. In general, injectables last between six and eighteen months.
