Nasolabial Folds

Dermal Fillers for Nasolabial Folds: Advanced Techniques for Natural Rejuvenation

At Rejuvenate Face, our doctor-led clinic specialises in bespoke, minimally invasive treatments to help you achieve a refreshed, youthful look. Nasolabial folds—often called “smile lines”—are a common concern, deepening with age due to skin laxity, mid-face volume loss, and repetitive facial movements. Dermal fillers are a highly effective, non-surgical solution for softening these lines and restoring facial harmony.

Understanding Nasolabial Folds

Nasolabial folds become more pronounced over time as collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid levels decline, and facial fat pads shift downwards. This results in a loss of support and volume, making the folds from the nose to the mouth more visible.

How Dermal Fillers Improve Nasolabial Folds

Direct Filler Placement

Dermal fillers can be injected directly into the nasolabial lines to plump and smooth the area. This method is ideal when the main concern is the depth of the fold, and the mid-face retains good volume. Our doctors carefully place the product to lift the crease, providing immediate, natural-looking results.

Indirect Volumisation (Mid-Face and Cheekbone Enhancement)

Many clients benefit from restoring volume higher in the face, particularly in the cheeks and along the cheekbones. By augmenting these regions, we can provide structural support, subtly lifting the lower face and reducing the pull that deepens nasolabial folds. This approach often reduces the need for direct filler in the folds themselves, delivering a more balanced and rejuvenated appearance.

Combination Approach

The most natural and long-lasting results are often achieved by combining both techniques—addressing mid-face volume loss and then refining the nasolabial area. This holistic strategy ensures facial proportions remain harmonious and avoids the risk of overfilling the folds.

Advanced Techniques for Optimal Results

• Layered Injection: For deeper folds, a multi-layered approach may be used—placing a firmer filler deep to support structure, then a softer filler superficially to smooth fine lines.

• Precise Marking: Patients are always assessed upright to accurately identify areas of volume loss and avoid areas where excess filler could worsen the fold’s appearance.

• Skin Boosters: For superficial lines, skin boosters or very soft fillers may be used to further refine the result and improve skin quality.

 

Safety and Expertise

The nasolabial region is anatomically complex, with significant blood vessels nearby. At Rejuvenate Face, we prioritise safety by using advanced techniques such as blunt-tipped cannulas, slow and low-pressure injections, and thorough anatomical assessments to minimise risks. Our team is trained to manage any complications promptly and effectively.

What to Expect

Treatment takes around 20–30 minutes with minimal discomfort, thanks to topical anaesthetic and advanced filler formulations. Results are visible immediately and typically last 6–18 months, depending on the filler type and individual factors. Most patients resume normal activities straight away, with only minor swelling or bruising possible.
