Nasolabial fold
Nasolabial folds are vertical lines running from the nose wings to the corners of the mouth. They first start to appear around 40 years of age (or earlier) and tend to deepen with age. Their development can be stimulated by other factors, too, such as sunlight, unhealthy diet, stress, alcohol, tobacco, hormonal changes, sleep deficiency. The problem affects women and men equally. Fortunately, it can be effectively eliminated through aesthetic medicine procedures.
Hyaluronic acid will let you forget about those “smile lines” in your nasolabial folds for a few months, up to a year. One session is enough to fill the lines, and you will no longer need to worry about them for the next 6 to 12 months. The effects of the procedure are immediate. When hyaluronic acid is no longer active, the procedure can be repeated multiple times. It is among the least invasive anti-wrinkle treatments.
Hyaluronic acid is a natural skin component. Like collagen, it is a major contributor to skin firmness and smooth texture. These characteristics are lost through aging processes as well as harmful external factors, making the skin thinner and developing lines and wrinkles. Use of hyaluronic acid as a filler on lines and wrinkles is one of the most popular aesthetic medicine procedures among patients. Hyaluronic acid used for the procedure is crosslinked, i.e. “compacted”. This form will stay in the injection area for a prolonged period. Men are more prone to use other methods, such as collagen boosters - an example product is hydroxyapatite, brand name Crystalis. The effect is natural and maintained for up to 1.5 year.
Nasolabial fold filling requires a detailed analysis of facial features. As a result, the filling effect will be natural and symmetrical. The injection area is anesthetized before the procedure, so that it is fully comfortable for our Clinic’s patients. The filling effect can be appreciated immediately after the procedure. The actual results depend on the depth of specific lines. Finer lines will be eliminated easily, and more pronounced ones will be improved. In both cases, the face will look younger.
