Nasolabial fold filler

Overview

Combat the signs of aging and restore youthful contours with our nasolabial fold filler treatment. Nasolabial folds, the lines that extend from the sides of the nose to the corners of the mouth, can deepen over time due to age and loss of facial volume. Our non-surgical filler treatment smooths these folds, offering immediate rejuvenation with natural-looking results.

Benefits

  • Immediate Smoothing Effect: Instantly reduces the appearance of deep lines and folds
  • Natural-Looking Results: Filler integrates seamlessly with your facial contours for a youthful appearance

  • Minimally Invasive: Quick procedure with little to no downtime

  • Restores Volume: Replenishes lost volume in the mid-face area, enhancing overall facial harmony.

How It Works

Our experienced practitioners use hyaluronic acid-based fillers to gently lift and smooth the nasolabial folds. The filler is strategically injected into the targeted areas using a fine needle or cannula, which allows for precise placement and natural results. The hyaluronic acid in the filler attracts and retains moisture, helping to restore lost volume and soften the appearance of lines. The procedure typically takes around 30 minutes

What to Expect

  • Duration: Approximately 30 minutes
  • Pain Level: Minimal discomfort, with most patients describing a slight pressure or pinch during the injections.
  • Recovery: Mild swelling or redness may occur but generally subsides within a few hours to a couple of days. Normal activities can usually be resumed immediately.
  • Results: Immediate improvement, with optimal results visible within 1-2 weeks as the filler settles.

Before & After Care

Before the Procedure:

  • Avoid blood-thinning medications and supplements (e.g., aspirin, ibuprofen) for at least one week prior to treatment.
  • Hydrate well and avoid alcohol for 24 hours before the procedure.

 

After the Procedure:

  • Apply a cold compress to the treated area to reduce swelling.
