As we age, we could start to see parts of our faces that we are not as happy with. One such issue is nasolabial folds, also known as smile lines or laugh lines, which are creases in the skin extending from both sides of the nose to the corners of the mouth. These creases can become more prominent and permanent as we age, especially if genetics and lifestyle factors like smoking are involved. Even a broad smile can speed up the onset of these lines, causing prominent nasolabial folds. However, we don’t have to accept these wrinkles as a natural part of aging. Dermal filler treatment provides a remedy that can also aid in the reduction of wrinkles and the restoration of the skin’s lifted, moisturised, and youthful appearance.
Nasolabial folds are natural lines on either side of the mouth that can become more prominent with age and sun damage, among other factors. They may be increased when smiling and are therefore often called smile lines. They are considered a cosmetic issue and do not require treatment. However, some individuals may choose to reduce their appearance through non-surgical or surgical procedures, such as dermal fillers.
Dermal fillers are a popular choice for treating nasolabial folds. These fillers are injected into the crease itself to reduce the appearance of wrinkles. The effects can last anywhere from 9 months or longer, depending on the type of filler used and the individual’s skin. Other treatments available for nasolabial folds cheeks filler, which may take the weight out of the fold. Retinoids and other highly active creams may work well in tandem with hyaluronic acid filler treatment.
- Touching the treated area or applying makeup for the remainder of the day
- Sleeping or lying down for a minimum of 3 hours
- Increasing blood flow to the face for 24 hours (e.g. vigorous exercise, sauna, alcohol, spicy foods, air travel)
- Massaging the treated area and tight fitting hats/helmets for 3 days if treatment was to the forehead area
- Exfoliation or peels
- Sun exposure; daily protection to the skin with SPF 30-50 is strongly recommend (includes tinted SPF)

What Causes Nasolabial Folds?
Although the majority of patients think that these folds indicate ageing, they do not. Everyone has nasolabial folds, which are a typical component of human anatomy. However, as they become older, many people start to notice them more. They could sag as well as deepen over time. Some people may have fine wrinkles as they age. Others, though, may experience lines that go all the way to their chin. These are what are referred to as marionette lines.
There are many reasons why these folds grow more obvious. The following is a list of the factors.

There are numerous ways to treat laugh or smile lines. The best method of treating a nasolabial crease will vary from person to person and depend on a variety of individual characteristics. In conclusion, anyone thinking about cosmetic operations should speak openly and honestly with their professional aesthetic practitioner at Hedox Clinic about their expectations.
At Hedox we offer dermal filler treatments to help treat nasolabial folds. These injectable treatments are administered into the corners of the mouth, known as the laugh lines
