Nasolabial Fold Filler Edmonton

Nasolabial folds—also known as smile lines or laugh lines—run from the sides of your nose down to the corners of your mouth. Everyone has these creases, but they tend to deepen with age as collagen levels decline and the cheeks flatten. At Albany Cosmetic & Laser Center in Edmonton, we offer nasolabial fold filler treatments that restore volume, soften these lines and rejuvenate your appearance.

What Are Nasolabial Folds?

These are natural folds of skin that frame the mouth and nose. Over time they become more pronounced due to:

  • Natural aging and gravity – loss of collagen and elastin causes the skin to sag and creases deepen.
  • Sun exposure – UV damage breaks down collagen, accelerating skin aging.
  • Weight changes – fluctuations can leave excess or sagging skin around the mouth.
  • Repetitive facial expressions – smiling, laughing and talking fold the skin repeatedly.
  • Lifestyle factors – smoking, poor nutrition and sleeping on your side may contribute.

While laugh lines are a normal part of facial expression, many people choose to reduce them for a more youthful look.

Nasolabial Fold Filler Treatment in Edmonton

Dermal fillers are the most popular non‑surgical option for softening smile lines. During your appointment our experienced injector evaluates your concerns, reviews your medical history and discusses the right product for your skin. A topical anaesthetic or fillers containing lidocaine make the injections comfortable. The filler is placed strategically along the fold using a blunt‑tipped cannula to minimize bruising and discomfort. Treatment typically takes 30–60 minutes and results are visible immediately. You can return to normal activities right away, although strenuous exercise should be avoided for 24 hours.

Benefits of Nasolabial Fold Fillers

Choosing fillers to address smile lines offers numerous advantages:

  • Instantly restores lost volume and supports the skin for a smoother appearance.
  • Stimulates collagen production for long‑term skin plumping.
  • Improves facial contours and provides a subtle lifting effect.
  • Minimal downtime—most clients return to work the same day.
  • Natural‑looking results that can be adjusted at follow‑up visits.

Types of Fillers & Duration

Our clinic offers a variety of FDA‑approved fillers tailored to your needs:

  • Hyaluronic acid (HA) – Soft, gel‑like fillers such as Juvéderm, Restylane and Belotero last around 6–12 months before being absorbed by the body.
  • Calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA) – Thicker fillers like Radiesse are used for deeper folds and often last about 12 months.
  • Poly‑L‑lactic acid – Sculptra stimulates collagen growth and can provide results for more than two years.

Your practitioner will recommend the best product based on the depth of your folds, desired longevity and personal preferences.

Cost of Nasolabial Fold Fillers in Edmonton

Treatment costs depend on the type of filler, number of syringes required and your individual anatomy. In Edmonton, nasolabial fold filler typically ranges from $550 to $1,500. During your consultation we provide a personalized quote and discuss options such as package pricing or financing to meet your budget.

Recovery & Aftercare

After treatment you may notice minor bruising, swelling or tenderness at the injection sites—these effects are temporary and usually resolve within a few days. Apply a cold compress and gentle moisturizer to soothe the area and sleep with your head elevated on the first night. Avoid strenuous exercise, excessive heat and alcohol for 24 hours. Rare complications include infection, bleeding or vascular injury; our providers review your medical history and take every precaution to minimize these risks.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are nasolabial folds?

Nasolabial folds are the natural lines that run from the sides of your nose to the corners of your mouth. They deepen over time due to loss of skin elasticity, repetitive facial movements and lifestyle factors.
Aging, sun exposure, significant weight changes, smoking, repetitive smiling and talking can all contribute to deeper smile lines.
Fillers are injected beneath the fold to restore lost volume and support the skin. They plump the area and stimulate collagen production, resulting in smoother, softer lines.
We commonly use hyaluronic acid fillers like Juvéderm and Restylane, calcium hydroxylapatite (Radiesse) for deeper folds, and collagen‑stimulating Sculptra for long‑lasting results.
Results vary by product and individual metabolism. Hyaluronic acid fillers last about 6–12 months, calcium hydroxylapatite around 12 months and poly‑L‑lactic acid up to two years.
We use a topical numbing cream and fillers containing lidocaine to minimize discomfort. A blunt cannula further reduces the risk of bruising and pain.
Minor bruising, swelling, redness or tenderness may occur. Serious complications like infection, scarring or vascular issues are rare when the procedure is performed by an experienced injector.
Results are visible immediately after treatment. Mild swelling may temporarily exaggerate the effect, but final results settle within a few days.
In Edmonton, nasolabial fold filler treatments typically range from $550 to $1,500 depending on the type of filler and amount needed. We provide an exact quote during your consultation.
