Nasolabial folds — the lines running from the sides of the nose to the corners of the mouth — deepen over time as facial volume and skin elasticity naturally decline.
Why These Lines Deepen With Age
As we age, the fat pads in the mid-face gradually lose volume and shift downward, which makes nasolabial folds appear more pronounced even in people who don't have particularly loose skin.
It's Not Just About the Line Itself
Effective treatment often isn't about filling the fold directly — restoring volume to the cheeks and mid-face can lift the area and soften the fold's appearance more naturally than targeting the line alone.
Treatment Approaches
- Dermal filler to restore mid-face volume and support the fold area
- HIFU to improve overall skin tightness supporting the mid-face
- A combination approach for more pronounced, longer-standing folds
Keeping Results Natural-Looking
The goal with nasolabial fold treatment is a refreshed, natural look rather than an overfilled appearance — a conservative, layered approach over one or two sessions tends to give the most flattering results.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will filler make my smile lines disappear completely?
Filler can noticeably soften nasolabial folds by restoring lost volume, though completely erasing them isn't always the goal — a natural, balanced look is.
How long do filler results last in this area?
Typically 9 to 12 months depending on the product used and individual metabolism, though this varies from person to person.
