Smile Lines London

Smile line filler treatment with hyaluronic acid is designed to soften and smooth the lines or creases that look prominent when you smile. The areas that are affected the most are the lines or folds that run from the side of the nose down to the corner of the mouth, known as nasolabial lines and the lines that run down from the corners of the mouth toward the jawline, known as marionette lines. In addition, many people develop outer smile lines that may run parallel to the above areas. If any of these areas are a problem area for you then smile line filler treatment could be an effective and safe option. Expert practitioners in aesthetic medicine may use a combination of soft and medium thickness hyaluronic acid products to treat the smile lines depending on the relative contributions that skin laxity and cheek hollowness have in causing the problem.
