Nasolabial folds are vertical lines that run between the sides of the nose and the corners of the mouth. They usually begin to appear around the age of 40, or even earlier, and gradually become more pronounced over time. Their development may be accelerated by other factors, including sun exposure, an unhealthy diet, stress, alcohol overuse, smoking, hormonal changes, as well as lack of sleep. This concern affects not only women, but men as well. Fortunately, nasolabial folds can be effectively reduced with the help of aesthetic medicine treatments.
Nasolabial folds can be softened for several months up to a year with the use of, for example, hyaluronic acid. One visit is enough to fill the folds and not have to worry about them for the next six months to a year. The effect of such a treatment is immediate. Once the hyaluronic acid has been resorbed, the procedure can be repeated multiple times. It is one of the least invasive methods of wrinkle correction.
Hyaluronic acid is a natural component of our skin which, similarly to collagen, contributes significantly to maintaining its elasticity and smoothness. Both the ageing process and harmful external factors lead to its depletion, which results in skin laxity and the formation of unwanted lines and folds. Wrinkle correction with hyaluronic acid is one of the most popular aesthetic medicine treatments chosen by patients. The procedure uses cross-linked hyaluronic acid, meaning it has been appropriately stabilised and densified. This allows it to remain at the injection site for longer. Men often choose alternative methods such as collagen stimulators, for example calcium hydroxyapatite – Crystalis. The achieved effect is natural and may last up to 1.5 years.
The treatment of nasolabial fold correction requires a thorough analysis of facial features. This makes it possible to achieve a natural and symmetrical result. Before the procedure, the area to be injected is numbed, which allows our Clinic’s patients to undergo the entire procedure in full comfort. The results of the treatment can be assessed immediately after the procedure. The final outcome depends on the depth of the fold. Superficial lines are smoothed very easily, while deeper ones are softened. In both cases, the face gains a younger appearance.
