Deep folds extending from the side of the nose down to the corners of the mouth are called “Nasolabial folds”. Nasolabial folds are the direct result of the ageing process and loss of facial soft tissue volume and give a fatigued, tired appearance. Losing cheek volume makes these folds even deeper.
Injecting dermal filler along the fold softens the area by restoring the lost tissue volume creating new, youthful and fresh appearance lasting up to 12 months.
The treatment is almost painless, takes approximately 20 minutes and the results last up to 12 months. The most common side effects are minimal bruising and swelling which resolve within a day or two.
